PHILOSOPHY FOR LIFE - SERIES
SUVIDYA EXTENSION LECTURES
Philosophizing in India has taken a backstage due to the advent of practical sciences.The search for true wisdom is conveniently fogotten to have a access to easy wealth and confort. At this juncture, Suvidya College, a centre of philosophy and Social sciences, has taken up a challenge to re-invent and re-live the philosophy of our ancestors and make it meaningful in the present day. To fulfill our vision we are envisaging a series of Extension Lectures on the motto "philosophy for life", delivered by eminent scholars of India. The lectures delivered would be published as a Journal of International Standareds. This would be a reguar feature in the years to come.
