In the diversified world order, there is the growing demand of understanding each other with strong spirit of human dignity. There is also the demand of expansion of the mental horizon for understanding the cultures of different nations of the world for peaceful co-existence and survival. There is Universal landscape in the way of expression of human feelings with the help of diverse languages in the world. Thus, there is universal human acquaintance among all, though we live in varied society, exposing diversity in lifestyles. Higher education helps to broaden the mental perspective of the participators which is the prerequisite for cohesive coexistence.

Considering all these, the need to understand different cultures has become an emergent issue in today's education and societies as relationships among countries have become more intertwined and peaceful existence depends on proper cultural understanding and exchange. For this the need of an ideal institution with democratic culture creating the spirit of ethnic integration, social integration, national integration and international awareness among the learners has become the urgent demand. Understanding of various cultures and learning of different opinions and values by the learners can be made feasible through the incorporation of technology into the curricular exercises which has very rapidly been increasing in the global situation. Therefore, at the time of educational planning all these issues are to be considered in proper manner for helping the learners develop the spirit of oneness among the citizens of the nations. We are partially successful and committed to achieve the highest target by being united and performing our versatile roles considering the place of existence and specialties of the demographic dividend of the locality. Wish all success in all areas of life.

Thank you all.
