India has had a widespread tradition of 'Vaad-Vivaad' and 'Samvaad', we need to reconnect with that heritage: President Kovind
President of India graces
the diamond jubilee celebrations of India International Centre
Why is it in news?
India
has had a widespread tradition of ‘vaad-vivaad’ and ‘samvaad’. Today, we need
to reconnect with that heritage, said the President of India, Shri Ram
Nath Kovind. He was speaking on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee
celebrations of India International Centre (IIC) in New Delhi today (April
18, 2022). The President said that India’s ancient philosophy, called
‘darshan’, is often acknowledged to be far more subtle and robust than the best
of philosophical works produced elsewhere.
Highlights
· He noted that the people,
especially the youth, are keen to learn more – not only in terms of facts but
also in terms of tools of critical thinking necessary to arrive at truth.
· The President said that
when the idea of the IIC was conceived in 1958 as an international platform for
exchange of views, the world was coping with issues concerning a fair and
stable international order and legacy-burdens of two world wars. The process of
de-colonisation was underway in Asia and Africa, with new aspirations
influencing the emerging international order. As the contemporary world is
going through a phase of transition, forums like the IIC become all the more
relevant.
· The President said
that the founding of this institution was done by women and men with
a vision of India’s future and its role in a world of international
cooperation. The IIC stands for a vision of India as a vibrant democracy where
it is possible to initiate dialogue in an atmosphere of amity and
understanding, with national and international participation. The
founders of this institution had the foresight to see what could
unfold in the years to come, and how the IIC could be a part of
developments in a new nation and also contribute to debates
globally. Such debates have kept pace with time. Since its
beginning in the early 1960s, programmes at the Centre have reflected global
and national concerns and continue to create awareness and influence
public opinion on relevant issues. Through its close contacts with
prominent academic and cultural institutions within and outside India,
and through its networking with diplomatic missions in the capital, the IIC
draws scholars, thinkers and professionals from India and abroad.
· Noting that during its
Diamond Jubilee year, IIC has chosen to especially focus on programmes related
to women and gender, the President said that as we celebrate the 75th
anniversary of our independence with ‘Azadi
ka Amrit Mahotsav’, let us also highlight the significant
achievements of women and the several legal and social initiatives
that seek to bring about change. He said that there are several examples of
Indian women who, before and after independence, have shattered many glass
ceilings. Let us not forget the fearless women scientists of the Mars
Orbiter Mission. Women were among the leading Corona Warriors
who demonstrated extraordinary resilience and provided healing touch
to save fellow citizens, often risking their own lives.
· The President said that
women’s participation in the unorganised sector of our economy is very
high. The formal economy needs to do much
more to empower women-workforce. Women should be encouraged
to participate more in what is known as ‘STEMM’, that is, Science, Technology,
Engineering, Mathematics and Management. National and
global economies stand to benefit from their talent
and their creative ways of responding to challenges.
· The President said
that the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal-5 seeks to
achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. We need
to eliminate structures of violence and exclusion that
block women’s progress and to open all avenues for them so that
they realise their potential in diverse fields.
· The President said that in
the Diamond Jubilee year of the IIC, he wished there were hundreds of IICs
across India, in several states and small towns, setting high
standards of debate and discussion. Just as the IIC has not
remained an ivory tower, the new centres too would be engaged in
the task of making the world a better place through the use of reason.
