The National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) celebrated its golden jubilee at Vigyan Bhawan under the theme "Resilient Urban India @2047." Set up in 1976, NIUA is a leading think tank under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). The event launched the National Urban Learning Platform as the urban wing of iGOT-Mission Karmayogi to build capacity in urban governance. Two publications were released: "Vision for a Resilient Urban India: Building Sustainable and Future-Ready Cities" and "Understanding the New Geography of India's Urbanisation: A Geospatial Approach." Nine technical sessions covered climate-responsive planning, housing, mobility, urban finance, circular economy and digital governance.
