15 papers on National Concerns, some of the most complex issues with which the nation has to grapple with on its way to progress. The analyses have been articulated by eminent subject experts who explain their insights through the VIMASH Series of awareness that are organised regularly at the Vivekananda International Foundation, New Delhi (VIF). A topical exposition of this nature brings out the finer nuances of national level challenges which need to be addressed with due alacrity and perseverance in order that Bharatvarsha may harness her full potentials as a developing nation of global significance. For ease of readership, the 15 issues have been analysed under chapter wise groupings of Civilisational, Governance, Science and Technology, National Security and Diplomacy and External Relations.
