Call for Nominations....

Commemorating the 54th Balidan Diwas of Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhaya on 11th of February 2022 ReTHINK INDIA INSTITUTE Invites the NOMINATIONS from Institutions of various Genres for

In the Humble Spirit of Reengineering the Republic One Institution at a Time

The Illustrious League of 2020 Recipients

These Recognitions would be presented in twin categories of Editorial Choice as well as Institutional Nominations on April 25th, 2022 at the concluding session of Reengineering India 2022 which shall happen between April 22nd and 25th commemorating the delivery of the Integral Humanism Lectures by Panditji in 1965.

According to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s Integral Humanism, the primary concern in India should be to develop an indigenous Development Model that has human beings as its core focus. It is opposed to both western capitalist individualism and Marxist socialism, though welcoming to western science.

Integral Humanism seeks a middle ground between capitalism and socialism, evaluating both systems on their respective merits while being critical of their excesses and alienness.

Humankind, according to Upadhyaya, has four hierarchically organized attributes of body, mind, intellect, and soul which corresponded to the four universal objectives of dharma (moral duties), artha (wealth), kama (desire or satisfaction), and moksha (total liberation or 'salvation'). While none could be ignored, dharma is the 'basic', and moksha is the 'ultimate' objective of humankind and society. He claimed that the problem with both capitalist and socialist ideologies is that they only consider the needs of body and mind, and were hence based on the materialist objectives of desire and wealth.

Integral Humanism rejects social systems in which individualism 'reigns supreme'. It also rejects communism in which individualism is 'crushed' as part of a 'large heartless machine'. Society, according to Upadhyaya, rather than arising from a social contract between individuals, was fully born at its inception itself as a natural living organism with a definitive 'national soul' or 'ethos' and its needs of the social organism paralleled those of the individual.

While Re-engineering as a management paradigm as professed by Michael Hammer in 1990s has its own definitive focus, we at ReTHINK INDIA are expanding the same to the ambit of foundational philosophical precepts providing an opportunity to the participating institutions to anchor back to their WHY, their very raison detre...

Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Recognition for Re-Engineering India 2022 thereby aims at recognizing those institutions which have taken upon themselves to re-engineer themselves in the ambit of the philosophical precepts of Integral Humanism of which Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha are optimally balanced out. 

This Year's Reengineering India Nominations are being solicited on the following 21 e-mantras propounded by the Doyen Indian Academic Thinker & Tinkerer Prof. Prem Vrat - Recipient of Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Recognition for Reengineering India 2020 - which is quite an extension of the tenets of Integral Humanism.

An elaborate commentary on this 21 eMANTRAS has been given by Prof. Prem Vrat himself at ReTHINK INDIA FORUM 2022
