Partnership
Vivekanand said- There is no difference in Science and religion; alchemists are looking for the single element from which all elements generated; mathematicians are looking for the digit from which all digits came; physicists are looking for the one source of energy from which all the energy has come; and the religion is also looking for the one soul from whom all have come. He once stated, “Art, science and religion are but three different ways of expressing a single truth".
From the times of cave paintings of primitive hunters to present day Information & Communication Technology products, the goal has been transferring and preservation of information for present and future use.
Visioning any future will depend on documentation of baseline data (taking present as baseline) and converting it into knowledge for future development. The direct need of the day is to develop a global organization that can serve as a platform to showcase knowledge, provide training and education about latest technologies and future challenges to knowledge managers, viz. authors, publishers, technical resource persons, subject-matter societies and all other stakeholders in managing the knowledge, while keeping focus on their ethical grooming.
NIPA FOR SOCIETIES, ASSOCIATIONS & UNIVERSITIES
NIPA, devotedly takes up this challenge and is ready to provide an active forum for authors, publishers, managers, technical resource persons from agriculture, veterinary and social organizations.
The NIPA is an organization with headquarters in Delhi, India devoted to promoting finest practice in agricultural, veterinary and social sciences publishing at global level. The NIPA strives to enhance the quality and reliability of the agricultural, veterinary and social sciences literature.
