---------------------------------

In this insightful episode, we sit down with IAS Aditi Garg, a 2015-batch IAS officer of the Madhya Pradesh cadre, to explore the deeper realities of sustainable urban development, governance, and nation-building.

The conversation goes beyond designations and projects. We discuss her UPSC journey, the challenges and failures that are rarely spoken about, and her conscious decision to return to India despite global academic and professional exposure, choosing bureaucracy as a medium to create real, long-term impact.

A major part of this podcast focuses on urban India today—how cities are expanding rapidly, the pressures administrators face, and how sustainable urban cities are actually planned and managed on the ground. IAS Aditi Garg shares thoughtful insights into how governance balances growth, responsibility, and inclusivity, especially in the context of Indian urban challenges.

The episode also offers valuable perspective for UPSC aspirants and young professionals, highlighting the importance of resilience, clarity of purpose, and ethical leadership in public service.

Towards the latter part of the conversation, we explore the role of literature in shaping society and why literary conversations should move beyond metropolitan cities. We discuss the vision behind taking literature festivals to rural and semi-urban India, and how initiatives like the Sitamau Literature Festival (January edition) can play a crucial role in building a more conscious, thoughtful, and culturally rooted society.

This podcast is a meaningful dialogue on governance, ideas, failures, sustainability, and the future of Indian cities.

Sustainable urban development in India
Real challenges of urban governance
UPSC journey and lessons from failure
Choosing bureaucracy over global career opportunities
Current state of Indian urban cities
