To make the human beings conscious toward global peace. To inculcate the sense of cultural harmony To promote the whole world as a single entity To respect every culture with their unique nature To make people aware of human rights and peaceful co-existence. It is obvious that the present cultural scenario is in the stage of turmoil and conflicts. The existing modern society is very much oriented towards material values - power, money, fame etc.… The 21st century must be a century of peace, love and compassion. Mankind must accept various cultures to cooperate with others in harmony. Now is the right time to act tremendously for cultural integration and harmony. This cultural integration is highly required to enable social unity, peace and prosperity. Humans can overcome the most common socio-cultural issues like casteism, gender discrimination, communalism, drug addiction, child abuse etc.… through good education. These were the major objectives of the conference. A group photo of GIEWEC members with our staff and Ph. D scholars
