A first-of-its-kind city-level initiative 'Vadodara Edu-Leaders' Conclave 2026' brings together key decision-makers from universities, colleges, schools, educational organisations and government administration to reflect on contribution of education for Viksit Bharat.
Hosted by BAPS Pramukh Academy, the conclave seeks to create a meaningful platform for dialogue, good-practice sharing, institutional collaboration and collective action to strengthen NEP-aligned, student-centric and value-based education.
Why This Conclave?
Education shapes the nation. Together, we shape education.
As India moves towards the vision of Viksit Bharat, education carries a responsibility beyond academic excellence - it must nurture character, values, competence and a spirit of service.
But do we have such ecosystem of education that truly centered around the holistic development of the students?
Vadodara Education Leaders' Conclave 2026 is an opportunity for the city's educational community to come together, reflect on this question and explore how stronger student-centric and value-based educational ecosystems can be developed across institutions.
The conclave is a collective platform to learn from diverse experiences, recognise meaningful practices and identify opportunities for cooperation.
Our Central Thought
Together, we can build student-centric and value-based educational ecosystems that nurture virtuous citizens, capable leaders and committed nation-builders.
When one student get any achievement - there will be role of many from their parents, school, college, coaching and all that are working for excellence of student.
This conclave is going to highlight that role of all institutions in the development journey.

In Focus
A Closer Look at the Key Sessions
Five sessions from the programme, explored in more depth.
Rethinking Education Around the Student
A structured educational reflection on the present realities of students, the responsibilities of institutions and the opportunities available through NEP-aligned, holistic education.
The session will explore:
- Are students genuinely at the centre of our systems?
- Are we preparing students only for examinations?
- Does every student have access to meaningful guidance?
- Are emotional well-being and character formation sufficiently addressed?
- How can institutions work collaboratively rather than in isolation?
- What practical actions can institutions begin immediately?
The Pramukh Academy Journey and an Evolving Educational Case Study
An 8-10-minute documentary presenting how BAPS Pramukh Academy studied student needs and gradually developed an ecosystem combining:
- Academic preparation
- Milestone-based progress
- Personal mentoring
- Discipline and daily habits
- Emotional support
- Values and character formation
- Career direction
- Family involvement
- Leadership and service orientation
The Academy will present this journey not as a perfect or final model, but as one evolving educational case study - developed through observation, experience, challenges, corrections and continuous learning.
Every student's achievement carries the contribution of many people and institutions.
This special interaction will highlight the journey behind Pramukh Academy's first IAS and Indian Forest Service milestones while recognising the role of:
- Family values and sacrifices
- Schools and colleges
- Teachers and mentors
- Friends and peers
- Institutional support
- Personal perseverance
- The student's commitment to service
The segment will reinforce a central belief:
No institution shapes a student alone. Nation-builders are nurtured through the collective contribution of families, educators, mentors, institutions and society.

- Student mentoring
- Emotional well-being
