VIRAT’s “Civilisation and Dharma” framework explores the intersection of civilisational wisdom and contemporary statecraft. At its core, the initiative seeks to transition Dharmic principles from historical abstractions into functional tools for modern governance, policy-making, and institutional design. By synthesizing philosophical, ethical, and historical traditions, VIRAT investigates how a value-based leadership model can foster institutional resilience and cultural continuity. The framework treats civilizational wisdom as a strategic asset for navigating social complexities, moving beyond mere preservation. The work seeks to align traditional ethics with modern governance needs, promoting a model that ensures social harmony, ethical integrity, and long-term systemic stability.
