ACTION PLAN FOR NATIONAL SEMINAR / WORKSHOP
ON EDUCATION AND HUMAN TRANSFORMATION
(Held on 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th October, 1992 at Vikram University, Ujjain under the auspices of Vraja Academy)
PROPOSAL
The SIMHASTHA / KUMBHA at Ujjain 16th April to 17th May, 1992, provided the largest spiritual festival on earth at the turn of the century. In Indian Cultural History, Ujjain has been recognized as a seat of learning, glorifying Sage Sandipani's Gurukula where Lord Krishna, Balaram and Sudama received their education, which eventually harbingered the message of Bhagawadgeeta.
It is therefore to link these moorings that Vraja Academy of Vrindavan, an educational Ashram / Institution Devoted to the higher cause of learning proposes organizing National Level Seminar on "EDUCATION AND HUMAN TRANSFORMATION" for a much needed educational revolution. The proposal has been approved by H.E. Governor of M.P., and Chancellor of the State Universities Kunwar Mehmood ALi while on his visit to Ujjain on the occasion of the inauguration of Vishwa Sanskrit Sammelan, 11th May, 1992. Later the same has been appraised by Hon Chief Minister Shri Sunderlal Patwa, on his visit to Vrija Academy Camp on 17th May. In-depth discussions on the sub-jeet were held in the presence of a galaxy of thinkers. It was resolved at this meeting that this National Level Seminar would be held at Ujjain this year under the sponsorship of Vikram University for a duration of four days in the form of deliberations and workshops during the Diwali holidays.
This project has been inspired and blessed by a spiritual personality of Vrindavan, who is also the inspirer of Vrija Academy of Vrindavan. He has given the clarion call for the Seminar as a culmination of legendary ambrosial churning of Simhastha, 1992.
This Seminar is a follow-up of the earlier Seminar "EDUCATION FOR THE FUTURE" coordinated and sponsored by the Directorate of Higher Education and Department of Philosophy, Allahabad University at the instance of Vraja Academy marking the 89 Prayag Kumbha Mela.
The proposal for the Ujjain Seminar was earlier moved by Professor Emeritus S.K. Agrawala, Secretary, Association of Indian Universities and Project Co-ordinator of the Seminar. Later, the same was developed by Prof. S.C. Gupta, Head & Dean, Department of Botany, Delhi University, who is also Co-ordinator, who led the delegation to discuss the project with H.E. the Governor of Madhya Pradesh at Bhopal and Ujjain. Further, the Governor advised Prof. S.K. Chauhan, Vice-Chancellor, Vikram University, to constitute a working committee to co-ordinate the project under the guidance of Vraja Academy, Vrindavan.
Co-operation, guidance and active support has been sought from the State Government, Government of India, University Grants Commission and other academic institutions in furtherance of this Seminar.
It is additionally suggested that the Conference of Vice-Chancellors of the State Universities be associated with this Seminar and that Vice-Chacellors of the Central Universities be invited along with prominent thinkers and educationists from Indian and abroad.
Efforts are in process to get the financial as well as other resource support from the Government of Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal, at the earliest. Further, efforts are under way to involve the Central Government and various Central Ministries, especially the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
As Apex Body representing the Government of India, the M.P. Government, Vraja Academy and Vikram University will be constituted soon to provide policy direction for the effective and normal conduct of the National Seminar.
Leading educationists from many countries are being invited and it is envisioned that this Seminar will bring back to India the "GLORY OF YORE" which we once shared with such Centres as Ancient Greece, Rome and Alexandria. They may have lost the glow of their Golden Ages, but still, deep in our heart, Indian shines.
