The theme and the logo for India’s G20 Presidency from December 1, 2022, till Novemhas a mention of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” or “One Earth-One Family-One Future”. It was designed to emphasize on the integration of the Earth’s subsystems in the school curriculum. It was used in the logo of the 7th International Earth Science Olympiad, which was held in Mysore, India in 2013. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi used this phrase in a speech at World Culture Festival, organized by Art of Living, adding that "Indian culture is very rich and has inculcated in each one of us with great values, we are the people who have come from Aham Brahmasmi to Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, we are the people who have come from Upanishads to Upgraha.(Satellite)." Radhakrishnan, former director of the Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti, believes that the Gandhian vision of holistic development and respect for all forms of life nonviolent conflict resolution embedded in the acceptance of nonviolence both as a creed and strategy were an extension of the ancient Indian concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. The popular Bhagvad Gita, the most translated of the Purana genre of literature in Hinduism, for example, calls the Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam adage of the Maha Upanishad, as the "Loftiest Vedantic Thought". The text has been influential in the major Hindu literature that followed it. The context of this verse is to describe as one of the attributes of an individual who has attained the highest level of spiritual progress, and one who is capable of performing his worldly duties without attachment to material possessions. Subsequent shlokas go on to say that those who have no attachments go on to find the Brahman (The One Supreme, Universal Spirit That Is The Origin And Support Of The Phenomenal Universe).
