A total of 10 students from the Department of Architecture and Department of Design & Innovation participated in the event accompanied by 3 faculty members for an interactive session on ideas of young minds to achieve this goal of Viksit Bharat.

The ideas ranged from strengthening the Indian ethos and cultural heritage, ensuring a prosperous, equitable, healthy, inclusive, and just society, bridging the gap between villages and cities, adoption of sustainable models of 'smart' villages and 'smart' cities, building world-class architecture and infrastructure which is also climate resilient and sustainable, using concepts of 'green buildings' and 'biomimicry', well-designed accessible public spaces, use of nature-based materials and nature-based strategies for product and settlement design,  and use of appropriate tools and technologies like automation and Artificial Intelligence.  They also emphasized the importance of a robust skill-focused education system, research, and cutting-edge technologies to achieve the coveted goals. The relevance of user-centric design and universal design focusing on the needs of marginalized people was also emphasized.
