New Delhi – In a momentous declaration, Pan IIT Alumni India, the apex body representing alumni of all Indian Institutes of Technology, unveiled the Pan IIT Global Leadership Summit 2026 (PAN IIT GLS 2026). Scheduled for June 20-21, 2026, at the state-of-the-art Yashobhoomi Convention Centre in New Delhi, the summit is envisioned as one of the world’s largest cross-sector leadership and venture platforms.

The two-day event will convene over 5,000 IITians and global leaders, including 500 CXOs and managing directors, 200 investors and venture capitalists, and more than 100 speakers and policymakers from over 100 countries. Aligned with Prime Minister Modi’s Vision 2047 for a developed India, the summit operates under the unifying theme: Technology, Investments, Governance, and Diplomacy.

Speaking at the announcement, Mr. Prabhat Kumar, Chairman of Pan IIT Alumni India, stated: “Hosted in Delhi, India’s hub for business and policy, the PAN IIT Global Leadership Summit 2026 will serve as a powerful gateway for global knowledge exchange, leadership excellence, and cross-border collaboration. With participation from over 100 countries, it is uniquely positioned as one of the world’s most influential platforms for leadership and venture engagement.”

The summit aims to catalyze high-level dialogues, strategic partnerships, and capital flows to bolster India’s global economic and innovation leadership. Key focus areas include artificial intelligence, semiconductor design, fintech, climate technology, and space engineering—sectors where India is setting international standards.
Attendees can expect global keynote addresses, high-impact panels, leadership labs, policy roundtables, venture funding forums, investor lounges, startup showcases, and curated networking sessions.

The event will be chaired by Mr. Gaurav Goyal (also referred to as Gourav Goel in some reports), an IIT Delhi alumnus, with Mr. Ashish Shandilya as co-chair. Their leadership promises to deliver tangible outcomes, reinforcing India’s role as a hub for technology-enabled governance and economic diplomacy.

As the world anticipates this groundbreaking gathering, PAN IIT GLS 2026 stands poised to set a new benchmark in global collaboration, driving sustainable growth and resilience in an interconnected era.

In the heart of India’s thriving innovation ecosystem stands PanIIT Alumni India, commonly known as Pan IIT—an umbrella organization that unites the alumni of all Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Registered as a not-for-profit society in 2006 under the Societies Registration Act, Pan IIT serves as the Indian legal entity for a global movement that has grown exponentially over the years.

With active chapters in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Korea, Singapore, and Australia, it harnesses the collective potential of over 500,000 IIT alumni worldwide. The organization’s core purpose is to serve humanity through innovation, guided by values of collaboration, integrity, environmental responsibility, and relentless innovation. Its vision—”Think Innovation, Think PanIIT”—aims to position India as a source of cutting-edge technology solutions for the world, particularly developing nations. Missions include promoting IITs as global innovation hubs, aggregating research, contributing to policy-making, and establishing innovation centers focused on defense, water, climate action, and skilling.
At the helm of this transformative body is Mr. Prabhat Kumar, an IRS officer from the 1994 batch and an IIT Delhi alumnus (Batch of 1991). Prabhat Kumar embodies the rare blend of technical prowess and public service dedication that defines many IITians.

From humble beginnings, he discovered IITs late in his school years but persevered to join one of India’s premier institutions. IIT instilled in him resilience, frugality, systems thinking, and problem-solving—qualities he carried into civil services and now into leading Pan IIT. As Chairman, Kumar has championed initiatives like digitizing alumni elections for greater transparency, building a robust alumni database, expanding digital engagement, and fostering a funding ecosystem for IITian startups. His bold vision of shifting talent “From Silicon Valley to Indus Valley” seeks to repatriate innovation and entrepreneurship to India. Programs like MANTRA, the PanIIT Mentorship initiative, empower younger alumni, while global gatherings showcase the community’s spirit of networking and impact.

Under Kumar’s leadership, Pan IIT has evolved into a powerful think tank, mobilizing alumni to address national and global challenges in AI, sustainability, and governance.

This legacy of excellence culminated in a landmark announcement that sent ripples across the global IIT community and beyond.

• India’s disposal rate of POCSO cases is now at 109 percent which means more cases disposed of than registered in a year_
• _A recent study suggests setting up 600 additional e-POCSO courts to end entire backlog in 4 years_
• _Study conducted by Centre for Legal Action and Behaviour Change for Children, an initiative of India Child Protection_

Delhi :For the first time, India has disposed of more POCSO cases in a year than were registered, marking a historic shift in the country’s long battle with judicial backlog. In 2025, 80,320 child sexual abuse cases were filed while 87,754 were disposed of, achieving a disposal rate of 109 percent, according to report “Pendency to Protection: Achieving the Tipping Point to Justice for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse” by Centre for Legal Action and Behaviour Change (C-LAB) for Children, an initiative by India Child Protection. Notably, 24 states also recorded disposal rates above 100 percent. The report recommends setting up 600 additional e-POCSO courts to end the entire backlog of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) cases within four years.

Often tarnished by the ‘tareek pe tareek’ image, India’s backlog of POCSO cases stood at 2,62,089 until 2023. But with this new shift when the disposals surpassed registrations, the report states that the country has reached the tipping point “where the justice system begins to move from managing backlog to actively reducing it.” The report recommends allocating INR 1977 crore for additional 600 e-POCSO courts for a period of four years to completely end pendency, for which Nirbhaya Fund can be utilized as well.

The report further highlights a few worrying gaps such as nearly half of pending cases remain unresolved for over two years, conviction rates continue to fluctuate, and there exist inter-state disparities. For instance, Uttar Pradesh alone accounts for 37 percent of all cases pending beyond five years, making it the single largest contributor to long-term pendency. This is followed by Maharashtra (24%), and West Bengal (11%). Together, these three states account for nearly three-fourths of all cases pending for more than five years.

Highlighting the broader implications of the data in a wider justice context, Purujit Praharaj, Director (Research), India Child Protection, said, “India is now at a tipping point in its response to child sexual abuse. When the system begins to dispose of more POCSO cases than it registers, it moves from intent to impact. Our research consistently shows that prolonged delays intensify trauma for child survivors. Sustaining this momentum is essential if timely, child-centred justice is to become the norm rather than the exception.” India Child Protection is partner of Just Rights for Children which is the largest network of NGOs with over 250 NGO partners working in 451 districts across the country for child protection and child rights.

Among states, seven states and Union Territories logged a disposal rate of over 150 percent, other seven have a disposal rate between 121-150 percent while 10 states achieved a disposal rate between 100-120 percent. These 24 states, therefore, are not only disposing of cases registered in 2025 but also managed to clear some of the previous years’ cases.

These figures reflect cases that entered the system several years ago but have not seen meaningful progress. “This suggests that pendency begins to accumulate early in the lifecycle of a case and that the system faces challenges in moving cases forward within the expected time frame,” the report said.

The report also recommends maintaining a year-on-year disposal rate of over 100 percent in every state/UT, providing technical and administrative support to state judiciaries lagging behind and meticulous monitoring of conviction and acquittal rates. The report also recommends the use of AI-powered legal research tools and document management systems to facilitate efficient case analysis and document retrieval.

The report is based on the data (as of 2nd December, 2025) drawn and analysed from National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG), National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) and Lok Sabha questions and answers.
