Rashtram School of Public Leadership nurtures ‘self-aware’ and ‘civilisationally-assured’ public leaders who are nourished by Indic knowledge traditions and systems of thought.

Rashtram designs and conducts executive learning programmes, engages in research to align institutions with Indic thought, fosters an ecosystem of young leaders in India and abroad, and strategically partners with organisations across the world.


We Think & Do.

Our field teams and research teams work in tandem to put thought into action.

We don’t just study innovative educational practices but also create institutional mechanisms to implement them. We don’t just identify best practices in governance but also help bureaucrats to replicate them. We don’t just conduct leadership training but enable young people to go out and lead.

Because thought and action go together.
