I am extremely happy to note that the Educational Development Council is organizing two days of “Sustainable Development: Issues and Challenges. on 7th -8th December 2024 at Fatima Degree College, Gonpura, Patna. On this occasion, a souvenir will be released, followed by the release of the souvenir and award distribution. I am extremely delighted to heartily welcome you to the national conference. This conference will surely be a landmark in the development of teachers and the teaching community. I am confident that there will be fruitful discussion on several issues in this conference. Education is the holiest aspect of a human being, which illuminates individuals, nations, and the world. Skills is a positive and dynamic concept in education. In present circumstances, we are passing through a period of value crisis. This is a high time to take stock of deteriorating conditions of the value system in order to inculcate basic human values such as truth, justice, peace, love, cooperation, law, non-violence, etc. in younger
generations for peace. Education is considered the most important tool for human resource development, i.e., knowledge, skill, reasoning, ability, attitude, aptitude, emotional balance, dedication, confidence, etc. It is a means of overcoming hardship, achieving greater equality, and acquiring wealth and social status. Education is perceived as a place where learners can develop according to their unique needs and potential. It is also perceived as one of the best means of achieving greater social equality. 

Many people would say that the purpose of education should be to develop every individual to his full potential and give them a chance to achieve as much in life as their natural abilities allow him. But very few people would accede to the present educational ecology that can accomplish the desired goal perfectly. Some take a negative view, arguing that the educational system is causing inequality in society. The critical importance of education in all societies is creating moral unity, social cohesion, harmony, and values, which are the foundation of society. Whether the present system of education and the teaching pedagogy have any concern with the individual, global peace, and social goals is the subject matter of discussion in the international conference. 

The ideal educational reform is required to create structures, programs, and curricula that are technically advanced, practically employable, and rationally encouraging and developing human resources for social unity, peace, scientific spirit, industrial progress, and moral values. Therefore, there is a requirement of good teachers who are creators of the human mind. Sustainable Development: Issues and Challenges are Best for the Quality of Education. Therefore, there is a requirement of good teachers who are creators of the human mind. Education for skills and technology is a movement that seeks to bring about a worldbased culture of education. In this conference, several principals, teachers, and research scholars will have the opportunity to actively participate and discuss some of their thoughts on the theme. 

All delegates should take up this assignment with all their energy and efforts to reach excellence in the chosen field of activity. We should feel really proud that we are given a divine assignment to lead, teach, and guide people. 

The organizing committee would like to acknowledge the efforts of the EDC management committee, Mahabodhi College, all educational institutions, all professionals, research scholars, students, and media, and all the agencies who have directly or indirectly contributed towards planning and organizing the international conference and their wholehearted support to make this conference a grand success.
