About ViRAT

VIRAT Integral Research and Development Foundation (VIRAT) is a Section 8 Company, an independent, and non-partisan Think Tank. The VIRAT endeavors to advance scholarship, conduct policy-oriented scientific research, and build capacity on issues of strategic interest and importance to the well-being of humanity, both within India and globally.

VIRAT operates by a Dharmic principle of Vaiśeṣika Sūtra 1.1.2., यतो अभ्यदयु निःश्रेयस सिद्धिः सः धर्मः र्मI (Yato Abhyudaya Niḥśreyas Siddhiḥ sa Dharmaḥ) — which defines Dharma (righteousness) as that which facilitates to both Abhyudaya (material well-being) and the Nishreyas (the highest good). It is a thought of integration between Vayshti (individual), Samasti (Collective), Srishti (creation), and the Parameshti (divine). This dual imperative serves as the ethical and operational framework for VIRAT.

Research Centers

VIRAT's policy-oriented research—spanning wellbeing, sustainability, resilience, leadership, and governance—is aligned with Abhyudaya (prosperity) and Nishreyas (highest good).
