In keeping with the theme of the conference, dr. Khanna has selected four areas where the Hindu Faith provides an insight into the causes of extreme poverty and offers practical solutions from the Spiritual perspective:

1. Hindu perspective on reducing inter-religious conflicts

2. Ascribing altruistic motives to aid; a paradigm shift away from self-interest in attaining prosperity

3. Secular angst; being secular or being religious is not mutually exclusive

4. Redefining development; an alternative understanding of development as it relates to the extreme poor, the primary theme of this conference
