Indian Forum For Public Diplomacy (IFPD)

Indian Forum for Public Diplomacy (IFPD) is a youth-run society by students from all over India with the aim of aiding foreign policy thinking through young academia. In an era in which Foreign Policy has to be rooted in the landscape of people, diplomacy is no more just a government-to-government engagement. The idea of Public Diplomacy advocates the engagement of people into a participatory Foreign Policy and reform process. In the age of the 21st century, where global cooperation is sporadic and the consensus is elusive, it is imperative to drive foreign policy and reform through people. The society hence engages to bring forth initiatives through research, opinion, dialogue, and debate to catalyze global cooperation and enhance Indian Public diplomacy.
