        abstract = {Mongolia is one of the substantial nations, though geographically located apart, and holds strong spiritual-cultural ties with India. Since 1955, India has stood as the first non-socialist country that has Diplomatic relations with Mongolia. Till 2015, their Diplomatic relations were quite “Comprehensive” which turned out to be a “Strategic partnership” later. Being crammed between Russia and China, its environment remains unfavourable, which limits its ties. Subsequently, Mongolia plays a vital role in India's Act East and Connects Central Asia Policy to counter China's expansionist policies towards India. Ulaanbaatar’s Geo-Strategic position, unexplored energy resources, and democratic form of governance have strengthened its ties with India. This paper will trace the historical legacy between India and Mongolia. Besides, it also emphasises various areas of cooperation, such as health, economy, technical, education, energy, and Defence, that shape their Bi-relation and a way forward.},
