Patrons Speaks
• People often find themselves lost in their own subjective environment when faced with new situations. The Ganga Zuari Academy provides a space in such a condition, where individuals can challenge their exclusivity and embrace an inclusive, non-sectarian view. This approach emphasizes the importance of accepting and appreciating healthy differences, which ultimately leads to greater harmony and co-existence in society. The Academy promotes a pluralistic approach that encourages acceptance, appreciation, and celebration of cultural differences. Given the current state of the world, this approach is highly relevant and can lead to a transformation in the socio-cultural lifestyle of individuals, allowing for a more unified group of people and emphasizing the values that are common across all world traditions. The Ganga Zuari Academy is a powerful and motivated organization with tremendous scope. According to me, it is the most sophisticated campaigner for socio-cultural understanding and embodies the spirit of India.
Dr. Maria Emilia Dias Menezes
• In today's world, social media, 24/7 news channels, random violence, and divisive political views are becoming increasingly dominant. However, the Ganga Zuari Academy is here to heal this trend. It is one of the few places where people can turn to creative, humane, and often lyrical perspectives on life. Literature, fine and performing arts can provide a refuge from current events and also offer insights into the contemporary world.

STRATEGIC FOCUS 2024-25
Over the next year, we would continue connecting various cultures to develop an appreciation for diversity, enhance creativity and promote social inclusiveness. We plan to make the best meaning of International Mother Language Day on 21 February, World Heritage Day on 18 April, World Cultural Diversity Day on 23 May, and World Letters Day on 1 September by conducting a Global Essay Competition on that day. Furthermore, our Manthan dialogue vertical will continue to discuss contemporary and exciting socio-cultural issues every alternate month. In addition, the fortnightly published BLOG will continue to promote good literature and sociocultural understanding.
