Treading ahead with achievements in the beginning of the New Year, three students have been selected to represent Rai Foundation at " The 2006 EPIIC Norris and Margery Bendetson International Symposium Program" from Feb 22-26, 2006 at The EPIIC program at Tufts University, Boston USA.

The students of Delhi Campus Vipul Sharma (C2ASE, B.Tech (CSE) Sem VI), Vivek Goel (BERC, B.Tech (BT) Sem VI) and Akanksha Arya  (SAMS, BBA Sem IV) will be talking on the pre-selected topic " The Politics of Fear" along with other students of Tufts University.

EPIIC is a carefully integrated multidisciplinary program. Through its innovative and rigorous curricula and projects, EPIIC prepares young people to play active roles in their communities, whether at the local, national or global level. Many students consider their participation in EPIIC a profoundly formative experience: challenging them to reassess or even jettison prior assumptions or beliefs; expanding their understanding of how historical, cultural and ideological forces can affect both individuals and nations; and inspiring them to pursue careers in public service or international affairs.

As educators and practitioners lament the lack of informed involvement of the younger generations in their civic communities, EPIIC is working to promote the active engagement of young people in global and national issues and to create tangible, collaborative relationships within and among the academy, the general public, and the professional community.

Each year, EPIIC's initiatives explore one central global dilemma, a broad theme that tests and transcends national sovereignty. The process provides the intellectual space where students can explore the complex issues emerging from these dilemmas and can create projects that enhance and invigorate the traditional curriculum.

Rai Foundation is proud of these students and also its student-centered pedagogy that promotes the linkage of theory to practice and encourages moral responsibility, life-long learning, and engaged citizenship.
