Panel discussions will be held on two sub-themes where social entrepreneurs/ development sector professionals will share their experiences, challenges, and other issues:
•Developing Sustained Rural Livelihoods
•Agriculture Innovations Strengthening Rural India

This would be a platform to network and collaborate with entrepreneurs, striving to make an impact in the social sector.
