Design Inspiration – Reflecting India’s Identity and Global Responsibility

• It highlights the importance of unity in diversity, symbolized by the convergence of seven petals representing the seven continents coming together in solidarity.
• The emblem emphasizes a collective effort toward addressing global challenges such as climate change, economic inequality, and geopolitical tensions.
