About the VIVEKANANDA INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION

The Vivekananda International Foundation is an independent non-partisan

institution that conducts research and analysis on domestic and international

issues, and offers a platform for dialogue and conflict resolution. Some of India’s

leading practitioners from the fields of security, military, diplomacy, government,

academia and media have come together to generate ideas and stimulate action on

national security issues.

The defining feature of VIF lies in its provision of core institutional

support which enables the organisation to be flexible in its approach and

proactive in changing circumstances, with a long-term focus on India’s strategic,

developmental and civilisational interests. The VIF aims to channelise fresh

insights and decades of experience harnessed from its faculty into fostering

actionable ideas for the nation’s stakeholders.

Since its inception, VIF has pursued quality research and scholarship and

made efforts to highlight issues in governance, and strengthen national security.

This is being actualised through numerous activities like seminars, round tables,

interactive dialogues, Vimarsh (public discourse), conferences and briefings. The

publications of VIF form lasting deliverables of VIF’s aspiration to impact on the

prevailing discourse on issues concerning India’s national interest.
