These meetings are designed to provide a platform for civil society organizations to engage with each other and with policymakers on issues related to the G20 agenda.)
The theme of C20 Chaupal being ‘Role of Philanthropy in social transformation’. Top leaders & eminent speakers including but not limited to Hon. Governor Shri. Ramesh Bais, Cabinet Minister Shri. Mangal Prabhat Lodha, and IAS officer Praveen Pardeshi enlightened us with their ideas of philanthropy and made us believe that Charity begins at home, but should not end there. A thought-provoking talk by Dr.Satish Modh was followed by a panel discussion between Prof.Satyajit Majumdar (Dean, School of Management and Labour studies, TISS) and Dr.Uday Salunkhe (Group Director, WeSchool). We appreciate thought leaders from civil society, corporates, philanthropists, academicians, and government officials whose engagement and enthusiasm made the event a lively and interactive experience.
