Rashtram School of Public Leadership nurtures ‘self-aware’ and ‘civilizationally-assured’ public leaders. The specific focus of the school is to prepare leaders in various domains critical for human flourishing across the world as well as in India.
Rashtram designs and conducts executive learning programs, engages in research to align institutions with Indic thought, fosters an ecosystem of young leaders in India and abroad, and strategically partners with organizations across the world.
At Rashtram School of Public Leadership, we forge individuals into civilizationally-assured public leaders using cutting-edge ideas and frameworks that are in sync with Indian values and traditions. At Rashtram, we create a facilitating environment to help both faculty and students flourish academically, socially, and spiritually; by helping them leverage their own experiences to develop and sharpen their unique perspectives on the chronic and emerging challenges at the local, national, and global levels.
As a research-driven academic institution, we provide rigorous training to equip our graduates with tools, social and professional networks to help them lead and be change agents to tackle the forces unleashed by globalization, artificial intelligence (AI), climate change, and pronounced tribalism.
Rashtram School of Public Leadership (RSPL) is devoted to teaching, practicing, nurturing and rejuvenating rṣitva (Rishihood) to promote human flourishing across the world in a sustainable and balanced way. At the root of all human crises lies kārpaṇya doṣa (miserliness), arising from narrowing of consciousness that the ṛṣis refined and expanded. Our aim at RSPL is to cultivate and disseminate ṛṣitva in our society.
Ṛṣitva (ऋषित्व) is manifested as:
1. dṛṣṭi– An inner vision of truth
2. śruti– Ability to hear the inner voice of truth, indicates the ability to go beyond the apparent and obvious.
3. viveka– Power to discern between dharma and adharma, and between sat and asat
Ṛṣitva is inculcated through cultivation of nine traits: vismaya (awe); vinamratā (humility); sevā (service); tapas (hardwork); dhṛti (perseverence); anasūyā (freedom from envy); shraddhā (sincerity); bāhuśhrutya (interdisciplinarity); and saundaraya-cetanā (aesthetic sense).
You take steps to improve yourself every day and often think about the world around you. But where do you start your journey? A courageous shift to follow your higher calling requires phenomenal transformation. And we are here to help you realise this dream.
Rishihood’s PG Diploma in Public Leadership aligns your inner self with the community, society, nation, and the world.
