About the Seminar:
The National Seminar ‘India in Transition:
Interdisciplinary Dialogues on Emerging Trends in Culture, Science and Social Sciences’ marks a significant academic milestone celebrating the distinguished career and invaluable
contributions of Prof. Sangram Pandit, Head of the Department of English, Digambarrao Bindu ACS College, Bhokar. His commitment to scholarship, mentorship, and interdisciplinary
engagement has inspired generations of students and faculty, making this seminar a fitting tribute to his legacy.
India today stands at a crossroads of transformation socially, culturally, economically, and technologically.
Globalization, digitalization, migration, and environmental change are reshaping the ways individuals and communities interact and construct meaning. This seminar aims to explore these dynamic intersections through interdisciplinary dialogues that connect the humanities, social sciences, science and technology fostering new ways of understanding India’s evolving identity in the 21st century.
In an age where academic inquiry increasingly transcends disciplinary boundaries, the seminar seeks to provide a collaborative platform that encourages cross-disciplinary
perspectives and critical reflection. It invites participants to engage with the pressing questions of our time from shifting social values and gender dynamics to emerging media cultures, sustainability concerns, and educational transformations. The seminar aspires to build an inclusive dialogue that bridges academic silos and contributes meaningfully to policy, pedagogy, and practice in the social sciences, humanities, and science.
