About the Conclave
Justice moves forward when we come together.
The Social Justice Conclave 2026 will bring people together to exchange perspectives, strengthen connections and explore pathways towards a more equitable society.
The Conclave aims:
- To revisit and reflect on the constitutional values of Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, especially from the perspectives of Dalit and Adivasi communities.
- To examine the gap between constitutional promises and lived realities, with a focus on social, economic, and political justice.
- To create a platform for meaningful dialogue for Dalit and Adivasi grassroots voices, experts, policymakers, and youth.
- To identify key ideas, strategies, and pathways for advancing justice, equality, and dignity for marginalised communities.
