Samskruti Foundation is a registered Trust formed by a group of people               for awakening the latent sensitivities and motivating people towards their                responsibility in upholding Indian culture and traditions. Of late, there has               emerged a tendency among our youth to run down our socio-cultural life. It is a               fact that our culture has stood the test of time and many a storm over                centuries and millennia could not uproot it. A nation, whose people understand               its ethos and live up to it and nourish it at any cost are bound to flourish                for perpetuity. It is with this task of awakening national consciousness, that               this group has been formed. ‘Indian culture has been called the mother of all               cultures’ by a person no less than Will Durant, the author of “The Story of Philosophy”. Toynbee the historian of repute feels that ‘Only Indian culture can save               humanity from extinction’. Such being the regard our culture has earned for               itself from intellectuals, it is our sacred duty to know what our culture is. It is a bounden duty to protect, preserve and pass on this noble culture to the               generation next. Some people aided and abetted by groups with ulterior and               nefarious motives have been leading estranged lives ignorant of the fact that                Loss of Culture is Loss of Identity. It is in the context that the task of               awakening the national consciousness gains primacy. Samskruti Foundation has               set for itself the following objectives. In pursuit of the above said objectives, apart from other               activities, Samskruti Foundation does organize lectures, seminars and publishes                literature/periodicals The foundation also designs projects and encourages the                intellectuals to take up those projects for implementation. Samskruti               Foundation has been functioning for the past five years and has increased the                areas of its activity among various sections of society. Swamy Vivekananda               believed in ‘man making process’ for national reconstruction. The Foundation believes in attempting to arouse the awareness               among eminent persons and making them partners in the larger task of national                reconstruction. The intellectuals, the efficient, influential and organizing               sections of our society have a not-so-ordinary role to play. If they fail in               giving a direction to society, society faces a vacuum and it is more dangerous. Hence it is but obligatory for them to be positive and be the beacons. Samskruti Foundation has its task, thus, cut out. Important activities that would be taken up include : Appeal: Keeping               this in view, the Foundation is requesting your participation in this sacred                but long journey by sparing your valuable time, energy and material resources                for furthering this great cause.
