The Young Thinkers’ Forum (YTF) is set to host its flagship event, the Young Thinkers’ Confluence (YTC) 2025, from October 10–12 at Avantika University in Ujjain. The three-day gathering aims to foster intellectual discourse on themes ranging from civilizational studies and family resilience to geopolitical challenges facing contemporary India.
The event will commence with an inaugural session featuring Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav and National Award-winning filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri. The first day, themed “Darshan. Dialogue. Devotion,” will include a visit to the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga temple and a cultural evening at the Mahakal Lok, blending spiritual heritage with contemporary dialogue.
Day two, titled “Manthan – The Churning of Ideas,” will feature panel discussions and lectures by prominent scholars and thinkers. Key sessions include “Tradition, Technology, and Togetherness: Building Resilient Families” with Advocate Dr. MR Venkatash, and “Battle for Dharma in North-Eastern Bharat,” addressing cultural and social dynamics in the region. Other notable topics include “Rising ORPs, Rising Concerns,” which will analyze recent census trends, and “Monotheism: Origins & Interactions with Polytheism,” exploring theological and historical narratives.
The final day, “Sankalp – From Thought to Action,” will include addresses by Dr. Mammohan Vaidya, an All India Committee member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on “RSS@100: A Century in the Service of Bharat.” J Nandakumar, National Convenor of Prajna Pravah, will speak on “Hindutva in the Changing Times,” while experts like Pathikrit Payne and Anmol N. Jain will delve into geopolitical strategies and what they term “destabilising narratives” aimed at India.
According to the organizers, YTF serves as a platform for “free thought, fearless inquiry, and conscious leadership,” with activities ranging from workshops and book discussions to heritage walks and film screenings. The Confluence aims to inspire the youth to engage with India’s cultural and intellectual legacy while addressing modern challenges.
The event has drawn knowledge partners from academic and research institutions such as SMaRT, Sangam, Brhat and Centre for Indic Studies and is being conducted with the support of Avantika University as the venue partner. Registration for the Confluence is open through the official website: www.youngthinkersforum.com
As India’s youth increasingly participate in dialogues concerning national identity and global standing, events like YTC 2025 seek to channel their energy into structured, ideologically rooted discourse, aiming not just to reflect on the past, but to shape the future.
