About Us

  • At the concluding leaders' session of the Voice of Global South Summit held on January 12-13, 2023, Hon'ble Prime Minister of India announced that India will establish a Global South Centre of Excellence.

  • DAKSHIN, short for Development and Knowledge Sharing Initiative; is the realization of the Hon'ble Prime Minister's above vision.

  • Established as a part of Research and Information System for Developing Countries, DAKSHIN endeavours to assist partners in the identification and implementation of scalable and sustainable solutions that can transform the economies and societies of Global South countries.

Vision
  • Foster knowledge sharing and mutual learning for building capacities and developing sustainable, affordable, and locally relevant solutions by collating resources, experiences and strategies to overcome developmental challenges the Global South faces, and promote globally inclusive partnerships.

Mandate
  • The Centre, in association with its institutional partners, would facilitate dialogue, handholding and support to identified and mutually agreed projects in the Global South under the overall guidance of the Governments and agencies concerned. The Centre would carry out research, foster sharing of mutually enriching development experiences and success stories from the Global South, document these research and experiences, and connect with governments, businesses, academia, think tanks, and other stakeholders to promote Lifestyle For Environment (LiFE) and other sustainable development initiatives under the overarching ambit of Agenda 2030 and beyond. The Centre would evolve a database of development cooperation for longer-term engagements and policy advice.
