I dont know why and what I feel, but I strongly feel something strange in this news:
The UNESCO on Wednesday gave its final approval to India's proposal to set up a world-class institute for promotion of peace and sustainable development in the region.
The general body of the UNESCO, which is meeting in Paris, gave the go ahead for setting up Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development in Delhi.
The UNESCO Category-I Institute will foster a culture of peace through education, promoting sustainable economic and social development and respect for human rights.
It will work in several areas, including global warming and non-proliferation.
It will do research on Gandhian thoughts on social justice, equity and peace.
The government will invest Rs 100 crore while UNESCO will put in USD five lakh (Rs 2.5 crore) for setting up the institute.
At present, there are 11 UNESCO Category-I institutes and most of them are located in developed countries
