In a rapidly changing global landscape, nations that think ahead lead ahead. Recognizing this, Surya Foundation has established dedicated Think Tanks for vital areas of National Development — including defence, environment, education, village transformation, youth empowerment, energy, self-reliance, and cultural renaissance.
These think tanks are not mere discussion forums — they function as action-driven research hubs that generate policy recommendations, grassroots implementation strategies, and leadership models for a self-reliant Bharat.
