Failures, Adaptation & Rethinking Development
In this deeply personal and provocative session, former Union Minister Suresh Prabhu reflects on personal missteps, collective societal failures, and the urgent need for a shift in our development paradigm. With climate change emerging as the biggest market failure in human history, he emphasizes the necessity of adaptation over endless mitigation. Drawing from decades of public service, he explores how real progress lies in understanding people as individuals – not statistics – and fostering holistic, spiritually rooted development. A powerful call to move beyond ego, metrics, and superficial success to reshape public policy for real human thriving.
