IURC, as defined in the initial few pages of this
document, has wide-ranging areas of interest that it would seek
to support. We believe that at the archaeological level, all
problems of the world are connected somewhere. And, if any
resourceful organization wishes to make a meaningful
contribution, it must seek to find ways to solve as many
problems, in as diverse areas, as possible.
In pursuit of its larger goals, IURC is therefore looking to
partner with scholars and institutions on diverse range of
issues. Towards that end, we seek to support research and public
outreach efforts on multiple issues. However, no matter which
area IURC seeks to investigate, we would always seek to promote
the inter-disciplinary way of looking at problems. In the near
future, we see enormous scope for collaboration with experts
from the fields of military strategy & diplomacy, economic
policies suitable to the developmental needs of countries like
India, education, healthcare, statecraft, democracy &
functioning of political parties, conflict resolution in
multi-ethnic societies, science & technology etc.
We would like to emerge as a large banyan tree that provides
shelter to scholars and activists from multiple disciplinary
areas. Given the extent of our reach within the Indian
university / higher education system, we believe we provide a
very exciting platform for any ambitious international
researcher / academician to come, interact with their counter
parts from India, and be facilitated to work on areas of great
global importance.
Speaking specifically in the context of the climate movement,
having conceptualized the above-mentioned approach to a new kind
of movement, and a new kind of leadership, IURC wishes to call
upon all like-minded people and institutions, from India, as
well as from the rest of the world, to come, pool in their
efforts with us, and to start working together with a common
objective and a unified plan of action.
Given the enormity of the challenges being faced by the climate
conservation movement the world over, it is, at least in the
minds of people associated with IURC, quite clear that no
attempt at working in silos would ever be successful. The story
in India too is no different. We have seen a reasonable
exposition of this point in the previous sections of this
document.
Therefore, we at IURC believe that we have no other option but
to collaborate. Accordingly, through the instrument of this
document and through any other means available to us, we would
like to request all like-minded people to come and join us.
We would be happy to answer
any queries that are sent to us by anyone in the context of the
issues that have been discussed in this document. We are always
available through our mail id
