Shikshit Bharat Exhibition & Conference 2027 is the flagship initiative of Viroji India Pvt. Ltd., envisioned as India's premier integrated platform for higher education, academic collaboration, and student empowerment in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Scheduled for 16-17 January 2027 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, alongside the New Delhi World Book Fair, the event will bring together students, parents, universities, policymakers, industry leaders, and government agencies, leveraging the Book Fair's expected footfall of over 100,000 visitors per day to create one of India's most impactful higher education platforms.
Designed as a Single Window Higher Education Platform, the event will provide authentic information on undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, technical, vocational, professional, skill-based, and international education opportunities. It will enable direct interaction with Indian and international universities, colleges, research institutions, EdTech companies, skill development organizations, career counselling bodies, and government departments. Participating institutions will also conduct presentations and workshops on admissions, scholarships, financial assistance, placements, internships, and international collaborations, helping students and parents make informed educational and career decisions.
Running alongside the exhibition, the two-day Conference will convene policymakers, education leaders, academicians, researchers, industry experts, and international delegates to discuss the future of higher education under themes such as NEP 2020, Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), and Bharat Innovates. Focus areas will include AI, digital transformation, research, employability, entrepreneurship, sustainability, internationalization, and industry-academia collaboration. Aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047, the initiative aims to strengthen India's higher education ecosystem by fostering collaboration, innovation, quality, and global competitiveness.
