The National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) marked its golden jubilee (50 years) at Vigyan Bhawan under the theme "Resilient Urban India @2047."
The NIUA is a premier think tank under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) and was established in 1976.
The event launched the National Urban Learning Platform as the urban arm of iGOT (Integrated Government Online Training)-Mission Karmayogi for capacity building in urban governance.
Two key publications were released: "Vision for a Resilient Urban India: Building Sustainable and Future-Ready Cities" and "Understanding the New Geography of India's Urbanisation: A Geospatial Approach."
The event featured nine technical sessions on urban resilience, covering climate-responsive planning, housing, mobility, urban finance, circular economy and digital governance.
