International Day of Conscience

International Day of Conscience is observed on 5 April yearly. It inspires ethical reflection and compassionate action. Encourages societies to promote dialogue and empathy that support sustainable development and peaceful coexistence among diverse cultures. The UN recognised that fostering individual conscience can be a powerful force for good. Ancient Indian scriptures (Vedas, Upanishads) offer profound insights into the nature of consciousness. Education is crucial in nurturing conscience from a young age, instilling values such as empathy and critical thinking. It also fosters respect for diversity and empowers one to make informed and ethical decisions.
