Aadhaar enrollment stands at 1.35 billion people, ensuring identity for almost all adults. Jan Dhan accounts have crossed 515 million, while UPI handles more than 100 billion transactions annually. Over 50 countries are exploring DPI models inspired by India Stack.

Meanwhile, schemes like Ujjwala Yojana and Jan Dhan Yojana have improved financial inclusion and access to clean energy. Today, more than 288 million women hold Jan Dhan accounts.

Improvements were recorded across nutrition, school attendance, sanitation, electricity access, and housing quality. In addition, food-security programs continue to support more than 800 million people.
Reducing vulnerability at this scale strengthens social cohesion and long-term peace. DoCM views poverty alleviation as a critical expression of conscious systems thinking—improving stability, dignity, and opportunity for millions.

Leading global clean-energy action through solar alliances and equitable climate policy. Environmental responsibility as peace-building.
India has emerged as a leading voice for equitable climate action, championing renewable energy adoption and climate justice.

India has committed to achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel electricity capacity by 2030—one of the world’s most ambitious clean-energy transition targets.

India’s restraint and dialogue-first diplomacy reduce risks in a sensitive region. Ethical strength that upholds global stability.
India maintains a long-standing doctrine of nuclear restraint and responsible behavior, even while positioned in one of the world’s most complex geopolitical environments. Its declared “No First Use” policy and emphasis on deterrence without provocation reduce escalation risks in a region home to nearly 2 billion people. India consistently advocates for dialogue, de-escalation, and strategic stability.
From DoCM’s standpoint, conscious governance includes measured strength, ethical restraint, and long-horizon thinking. India’s approach reflects responsible stewardship in a nuclearized region, contributing to global peace through predictability and restraint.
✔️ India’s population: 1.43+ billion (~17% of humanity).
✔️ South Asia’s total population: ~2 billion.
✔️ India maintains a declared No First Use nuclear doctrine.
✔️ Frequently calls for dialogue-first diplomacy at the UN.
✔️ Demonstrates restraint in a high-risk nuclear region.
India’s global health support during crises strengthened shared resilience. A model of conscious, compassionate international leadership.
India’s humanitarian response during global crises—particularly COVID-19—demonstrated large-scale solidarity with vulnerable nations. India supplied medicines, PPE, vaccines, and medical support to more than 150 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Gulf, and the Pacific. Through the Vaccine Maitri initiative, India delivered 301 million vaccine doses to 99 countries and two UN entities, supporting global health systems at a time when access to vaccines was limited.
This approach strengthened international goodwill and demonstrated a model of responsible global citizenship. From a peace-building lens, equitable health support reduces global vulnerability, prevents destabilization caused by pandemics, and reinforces the idea of a shared human destiny—fully aligned with DoCM’s consciousness-led governance philosophy.
