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.
