India will hold the presidency from December 1, 2022, when it officially takes charge till November 30, 2023. During this period, the country will drive conversations around climate action, inclusive, equitable and sustainable growth, women’s empowerment, digital public infrastructure and tech-enabled development across health, agriculture and education, among others, and contribute to the global agenda on issues of international importance.

At the closing ceremony of the Bali G20 Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said “The principle of ‘data for development’ will be an integral part of the overall theme of our Presidency.” Themed ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ or ‘One Earth One Family One Future,’ the G20 Presidency will position India as a force of unity.

Throughout the Presidency, multiple events will be held across the country, giving each state an opportunity to showcase its characteristics, heritage, culture, beauty, aura and hospitality.

The focus, throughout it all would be a futuristic, prosperous, inclusive and developed society, distinguished by a human-centric approach at its core.
