🇮🇳 SCERT Uttarakhand on an International Platform
Participation of Ramesh Badoni from SCERT Uttarakhand, India, adds an important educational perspective to this international gathering.
The registration document identifies him as representing the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Uttarakhand, from Dehradun, India.
His participation reflects SCERT Uttarakhand's engagement with wider conversations around education, technology, innovation, international cooperation and human-centred development.
For educational institutions today, humanitarian values are closely connected with the larger purpose of education. Technology and innovation become truly meaningful when they help make learning more accessible, inclusive, equitable and empowering.
Distinguished Global Speakers
The webinar features eminent personalities from different areas of humanitarian leadership.
Dr John Bellavance, Asia Pacific Coordinator of the International Association of Academicians for Peace, delivers the Opening Remarks.
Dr Joseph Masika, an accomplished physician, public-health specialist and global humanitarian leader, delivers the Keynote Address.
Dr Prem Adheesh Lekhi, an international healthcare professional associated with SSIOM INGO, Malaysia–ASEAN–Asia, joins the programme as the Featured Speaker.
The webinar also includes insightful sharing, panel discussion and an interactive Q&A, providing participants with an opportunity to exchange perspectives on humanitarian service and global responsibility.
Education and Technology for Humanity
For Ramesh Badoni, participation in this global forum is particularly relevant to the expanding role of ICT, Artificial Intelligence and digital technologies in education.
Technology today has the potential to reach learners beyond geographical limitations, provide opportunities to underserved communities, support teachers, improve accessibility and connect educational institutions across countries.
The humanitarian dimension of educational technology therefore lies not merely in adopting advanced tools but in asking an important question:
How can technology and innovation be used to ensure that every learner receives better opportunities, dignity, inclusion and access to quality education?
This perspective connects educational innovation with the central message of World Humanitarian Day—placing people and human dignity at the heart of progress.
International Academic Collaboration
The programme also provides an opportunity for international academic interaction. Ramesh Badoni is participating alongside academic collaborator Huong Vu from Vietnam, adding another dimension of India–Vietnam educational friendship and knowledge exchange.
Such international engagements can encourage educators to share experiences across borders and explore collaborative approaches in ICT integration, teacher education, research, innovation and technology-enabled learning.
They also reinforce the idea that education can serve as an effective bridge between cultures and communities.
Honouring Those Who Serve Humanity
The programme is hosted by the International Association of Academicians for Peace (IAAP) Asia Pacific, described in the webinar flyer as a primary association of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF).
The international webinar is scheduled for:
15 August 2026

A Proud Moment for SCERT Uttarakhand
