The Maitri Cultural Economy Summit (MCES), powered by MaitriBodh Parivaar, was held at Le Meridien, New Delhi, as an exclusive closed-door gathering attended by over 100 dignitaries, ministry representatives, economists, and policymakers. The event facilitated in-depth discussions on the interconnection between India\u2019s cultural heritage and its economic progress.
\nUnion Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat: \u201cCulture is not just an identity, but a new force driving India\u2019s economy\u201d<\/p>\n
The keynote speaker and visionary behind the Summit, Maitreya Dadashreeji – a Transformation Pioneer, Founder of MaitriBodh Parivaar, shared, \u201cBharat\u2019s ancient practices like Yog and Ayurveda have become global economic forces, reaffirming that sanskriti-led development can guide Bharat toward sustainable prosperity.\u201d
\nAddressing the gathering as the Chief Guest, Hon\u2019ble Union Minister of Culture and Tourism, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, said, \u201cPrime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s vision is to shape India\u2019s economy on cultural foundations. Along with development, we must also honour our heritage. Culture is not merely identity; it is the pillar of economic strength, driving employment, innovation, and creative industries. We must view our traditional arts and cultural wealth not as charity, but as investment opportunities. With the support of the service sector, the culture-based economy can gain a new dimension.\u201d
\nOver the past year, MCES has hosted thematic sessions in Delhi and Mumbai, exploring subjects such as Festivals and Economy, Sustainable Prosperity, Arts and Culture, and Agricultural Economics. Drawing from these deliberations, the 5Ps Framework \u2013 Performance, Potential, Path, Planning, and Policy \u2013 was presented by Shri Gopal Krishna Aggarwal, Patron of MCES and National Spokesperson (Economic Affairs), BJP.
\nSpeaking on the occasion, Shri Aggarwal added, \u201cCulture and economy are complementary to each other. The 5Ps framework demonstrates how India can transform its cultural capital into economic progress. This model will benefit both rural and urban India.\u201d
\nThe event concluded with the launch of the Policy Recommendations Report, authored by Shri Gopal Krishna Aggarwal, which will be submitted to the Government of India to aid in implementing culture-driven economic initiatives. Experts present at the event hailed it as a \u201cnew beginning\u201d for India\u2019s cultural and economic journey, paving the path toward a self-reliant and culturally empowered Bharat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
