To achieve this, various sessions will be held in each country at different levels.

HWPL’s dedicated to establishing a robust peace governance framework, connecting international organizations, governments, and civil societies.

Back in the 9th Anniversary in 2023, Chairman Lee Man-hee of HWPL said, “Why should the lives of young people be sacrificed in war? What is politics, and for whom is it for? When war breaks out, it is young people who are sacrificed. Peace cannot be achieved through words alone. If peace had won in this world, there would have been no regrettable deaths. We must leave peace as a legacy to the global community where our descendants will live.”

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was an Indian lawyer, scholar of Buddhism, and the Drafting Chairman of the Constitution of India. The study of the Constitution is integral to study for every law student. In today’s scenario, law as a discipline is gaining popularity because it offers a wide spectrum of opportunities in all fields may it be litigation, private sector, public sector, etc. Students must aspire for new-age careers in law from prestigious National Law Universities (NLUs) and must explore the role of technology in the legal field. With a commitment to excellence and a passion for legal education, Law Prep Tutorial Nagpur Centre aims to become the premier destination for aspiring law professionals in the region.” opined Sagar Joshi in the inaugural speech.

DR. SUDHANSHU TRIVEDI ADDRESSED ISSUE OF POPULATION STABILIZATION DURING MOBIUS FOUNDATION’S VIRAM CONCLAVE

April 2, 2024

Mobius Foundation, in partnership with ‘TV Today Network’, launched a one-year-long social cause initiative called ‘VIRAM- Agenda Sustainability’. The project was focused on the impact of overpopulation on the most pressing environmental problems of climate change, pollution, human health, habitat loss, over consumption of finite natural resources, such as fresh water, arable land and fossil fuels. Overpopulation also has an impact on housing, poverty, employment and education as well. The project aimed at creating awareness about these issues and urgency to take action, in the short and long term to conserve and protect nature and the mother earth, for the survival of humanity and other life forms. Although the general population is aware that the future looks bleak, the causes are not immediately apparent to the common person.

Every month, a total of twelve episodes addressing various environmental problems caused by excessive population growth were telecasted. The episodes can also be found on the YouTube channels of Lallantop, UP Tak, Bihar Tak, and Mobius Foundation.

Mobius Foundation culminated the campaign with an on-ground two-hour-long Thought Leadership Conclave. The event featured policy experts, demographic researchers, and academicians interacting under two robust sessions i.e. “Balancing the Global Equation: The Imperative of Overpopulation Stabilization” and ‘जनसंख्या स्थिरीकरण और पर्यावरण संसाधनों के बीच ताल- मेल की ज़रूरत’ along with an exclusive one-on-one fireside chat with Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi, Member Rajya Sabha and Mr. Pradip Burman, Chairman, Mobius Foundation.

Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi, chief guest at the conclave said that “We are becoming more and more numerous, but if we stick to our traditional knowledge system, managing the population and environment won’t be a problem. Traditional knowledge, also known as “local knowledge,” is a record of human achievement in understanding the complexities of life and survival in frequently hostile environments. Therefore, going back to our roots will enable us to create a sustainable future.”

Mr. Pradip Burman said “My vision is of a future in which our population co-exists in harmony with nature and prospers on a healthy planet, to the benefit of all., and which will only happen when our existing population stabilises or starts declining.”

Other dignitaries present at the conclave were G. V. L.
