Confrence Background -

“It is only through education that the latent potential of every human being can develop, be expressed, and ultimately serve to benefit the individual and his or her community”.(Bahá’í Academy-Website)

While the scientific and technological progress, particularly in the field of communication and transportation, has brought great advancements to the world today, it has also resulted into new global challenges and difficulties. These problems have touched upon every aspect of man’s personal and collective life, be it social, educational, environmental, economic or scientific. The world, indeed, can be likened to a human body that has been afflicted with severe ailments, desperate for the right remedy. The treatments it receives from the self-centered physicians increase its sufferings with every passing day. Under the present situation, only the whole-hearted acceptance of world unity, the oneness of mankind and living according to universally accepted human values can bring the light of hope and relief to the suffering multitudes. And in this highly competitive world, a strong volition is needed to rise above self-interest and work for the happiness of the entire human family.

The Conference will be inaugurated at the hands of Prof. Dr. D. B. Shinde the Hon'ble Vice-Chancellor of
Shivaji University, ‘A’ Grade, Kolhapur, M.S. India. The Valedictory Function will be in the presence of Prof. Dr. M. M. Salunkhe, The Vice- Chancellor of YCMOV, Nashik.
