Unfortunately, due to the insufficient understanding of such heritage and insufficient communication with cultural institutions in the rest of the world, India remains in a backward position in regards of education and academic qualifications. A great many opportunities await, untapped, for the immense potential of human resources in India. Just like the computer industry could encourage and create a class of computer engineers who are anxiously requested all over the world, and put India in one of the topmost positions for the software production industry, so the same "miracle" can be performed in many other fields. Obtaining cooperation and support from private sectors and international organisations is not so difficult, but it requires communication skills and logic patterns which belong to the XXI century, and the gap must be filled by interactive structures and formation resources of suitable kinds. Objectives of the Seminar: Assessing the problems in historical perspective Formulating and demonstrating feasible solutions Examining short/medium/long term plans Exchanging informations, knowhow and ideas Establishing deadlines and operational schemes Creating working groups and committees Publishing and distributing the proceedings of the seminar Establish an ongoing information and coordination programme Establing cooperation with Governmental Offices, Public & Private Schools, etc. Topics of the Seminar: - History of education in India - Historical bias in educational policies - Educational standards, trends and methods in Western countries - Understanding the real cultural heritage of India - Secularism versus free thinking - Communalism versus religion - Getting ready for globalization - Girl child education - Rural education - Adult education and basic literacy - Vocational training and technical training - Teachers' training - Public and private sectors and involving capitals PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE SEMINAR Sl.No. Description Amount (Rs.) 1.
