Mumbai, Maharashtra, 4th of February, 2026 : The Muslim Women Intellectual Conference on the theme “Viksit Bharat & Mission 2047” was successfully held today at Conference Hall–1, India International Centre (IIC), New Delhi. The conference brought together women academics, intellectuals, educators, media professionals and social leaders to deliberate on the role of Muslim women in shaping India’s journey towards becoming a developed nation by 2047.

He stated, “Viksit Bharat is not built merely through infrastructure, but through educated and morally grounded citizens. The real question is not what someone says, but what they learn, how they earn their livelihood, and what is happening at the grassroots. Education must promote love, brotherhood and human values, not hatred. Character is the true foundation of a developed India.”
