BHOPAL: The Daly College of Indore will host the Round Square International Conference — the largest ever international education conference — from October 18 to 24.

Briefing mediapersons on this, college Principal Sumer Singh said here on Sunday that the international aspect would remain paramount during the conference though they will endeavour to introduce some aspects of Indian culture.

The Principal said this conference would also help all participants to become better world citizens.

Each of these conferences lead to a unique experience as different schools host these conferences at different locations around the world. This year, Daly College is hosting the Conference on behalf of South Asia and the Gulf region, he added.

Speaking further on this, the Daly Principal said India was home to the earliest democracies and the greatest universities in the sixth century B.C.

This was the land where mathematicians started the decimal system and introduced zero. Here scientists, astronomers, doctors and teachers were held in the highest esteem.

The grain bowl

It was a great manufacturing centre and the grain bowl of the world. Through history, this land lost its pre-eminent economic status but now it is once more surging ahead and regaining its glory.

Visit to villages

A visit to an Indian village would tell more about the country and its people.

A lack of affluence does not deter the average villager from being cheerful and a generous host, he said adding if he has no access to theatres and concerts, he makes up for this through the vibrant and colourful tradition of folk dances and music.

Each school attending the conference would be sending a delegation that would include members of the Board of Governors, representatives and students. Seventy-three schools from 20 countries across the globe would participate. Of the total 550 delegates, who have sent in their confirmation, about 500 would be from abroad.

The conference would be declared open by Constantine II of Greece, the Chairman of Round Square.
