SKOCH Summit

UPCOMING SUMMIT

Growth, Prosperity and Resilience

At the Republic Summit on 22 June 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described poverty reduction as “a story of expanding opportunities, a source of new aspirations.” PM India His September BRICS addresses connected resilience with growth, stability and inclusive development. These remarks provide a policy context for the 111th SKOCH Summit: how can India translate economic expansion and rising aspirations into lasting prosperity? PM India

The Summit will examine growth, prosperity and resilience as distinct but connected development objectives. Growth expands productive capacity and economic opportunity. Prosperity concerns improvements in earnings, capabilities, assets and quality of life. Resilience concerns the ability to retain these gains, adapt to disruption and recover without lasting economic damage. The enquiry reflects the Prime Minister’s emphasis at the June 2026 G7 Summit on assessing growth through its contribution to inclusion and people’s wellbeing, beyond GDP and trade numbers.

Rural Prosperity and Resilience

In his remarks on the Union Budget on 1 February 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi connected women-led self-help groups with the ambition that prosperity should reach every household. He also highlighted village employment and entrepreneurship in fisheries and animal husbandry. The 112th SKOCH Summit takes this household-centred aspiration forward, examining how rural enterprise, productive employment and protection can sustain economic progress

Rural India will be considered as an economy of producers, workers, entrepreneurs and consumers, rather than solely as the recipient of development assistance. Agriculture will remain central, alongside processing, manufacturing, crafts, tourism, logistics and services. The Summit will explore how these activities connect with nearby towns and wider markets, and how households with different assets and capabilities can participate in them.

One Nation One Platform

The SKOCH Summit bridges the gap between felt needs and policymaking, unlike most conferences that become echo chambers. We specialize in negotiating differing viewpoints to create a common agenda based on ground realities. This socio-economic focus is essential for development dialogue, and we are perhaps the oldest platform fulfilling this role. Decisions should be informed by past policies, their outcomes, and citizen feedback, prioritizing essentials over nice-to-haves. This approach allows for improvement and redesign. Primary research, citizen and expert evaluation, and global expertise shape every Summit, offering actionable recommendations for policymaking and development.
