About IFPD
Indian Forum for Public Diplomacy (IFPD) is a not-for-profit, non-partisan, youth-driven advocacy forum that advocates civilian-led strategic culture in India, with the aim of aiding foreign policy thinking through young academia. We are a youth advocacy forum focused on creating a world that recognizes the nuances of strategic and diplomatic challenges through the influential impact of public diplomacy and people-to-people relations.
