Mission Statement

IFPP's Mission

The Indian Foreign Policy Project (IFPP) is an independent youth and membership-based organization committed to fostering a deeper understanding of international relations through young Indian perspectives. As a cross-campus community, IFPP brings together individuals from across India to collaborate, share ideas, and think of novel worldviews.

Founded in February 2024, IFPP aims to cultivate interest, curiosity, and critical thinking in geopolitics and international relations among students in high schools, colleges, and beyond. Our mission is to introduce genuine South Asian viewpoints into global discussions, challenge the dominance of Western voices in the field, and strengthen India's role in world affairs.

We carry out our mission by:

• Maintaining a diverse and balanced membership, including programs to develop expertise in the next generation of foreign policy leaders;

• Reaching out to high schools, youth organizations, and civil societies in the space to build a community of global thinkers from the ground up;

• Hosting meetings and debates where students, youth leaders, diplomats, academics, and think tanks come together to discuss major international issues;

• Supporting independent research and analysis to produce articles, reports, and recommendations on foreign policy topics;

• Publishing insights and perspectives on global events and South Asian foreign policy through our various platforms;

• Curating a network of established professionals and policymakers to expand the career scope of international relations in South Asia.

IFPP is dedicated to shaping new worldviews and making international relations more accessible and appealing to young minds across India.
