Begins: November 28 2006 , Ends: November 30 2006
In the recent years there have been phenomenal upsurge
of knowledge and research on disaster risk mitigation
and management across many disciplines and subjects ranging
from earth sciences to atmospheric, environmental, engineering,
agricultural, medical, social, behavioral and management
sciences, remote sensing, information and communication
technologies etc. Research and knowledge creation in all
these and related subjects are taking place at a fast
pace in universities, research and development organizations,

on individual initiatives, but mostly in an isolated and
segmented manner, without much interaction and interface

Workshop on Health Promotion
|
Begins: March 22 2006 , Ends: March 22 2006
Voluntary Health Association of India (VHAI), New Delhi, is organising a workshop on Health Promotion.
The objectives of the workshop on Health Promotion are to have all participants be aware of the importance of leading healthy lifestyles, and the dangerous consequences if it is not taken seriously. In addition, since the concept of health promotion is still rather new in India, VHAI needs to make sure that all participants are familiar with its meaning. Once this is clear, it is equally important for all participants to be aware of efficient strategies to implement health promotion amongst adolescents in school settings. VHAI therefore aims that all participants will return to their respective states convinced of the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles, and geared with the knowledge about how to effectively implement it.
For the purpose of this meeting on Wednesday, 22nd March'06, we have eminent people such as Prof. Davison Munodawafa, Regional Advisor to the Regional Director at WHO SEARO on Health Promotion, Dr. Sudhir Gupta, Chief Medical Officer- Non Communicable Diseases, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ms. Monika Arora - Director HRIDAY SHAN, Prof G.L. Khanna, Dr. Mishra- Ayurvedic Consultant - Govt of India and Dr. Jitendra Nagpal- Consultant Psychiatrist and Project coordinator for "Expressions", VIMHANS speaking on the occasion.

The World Urban Forum was established by the United Nations
to examine one of the most pressing issues facing the
world today: rapid urbanisation and its impact on communities,
cities, economies and policies. It is projected that in
the next fifty years, two-thirds of humanity will be living
in towns and cities. A major challenge is to minimize
burgeoning poverty in cities, improve the urban poor's
access to basic facilities such as shelter, clean water
and sanitation and achieve environment-friendly, sustainable
urban growth and development.The 3rd World Urban Forum
will take place in Vancouver, Canada, from 19 to 23 June
2006.
