ACTION
PLAN, 2012
Abstract
UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) is a specialised agency of
the UN. It was formed to find answers to the key problems that beset our
societies in the areas within its competence.
To achieve the aims of UNESCO,
clubs are formed around the world. The clubs are educational in character. Three
functions of UNESCO clubs are Training, Information, and Action.
In essence they mean training of the members, information both
for members and for general public, and lastly the action which is
essential condition of the club. The
main aim of the clubs are to create more public support and take interest in
the activities of the UNESCO organisation, taking initiative in celebrating the official International Days proclaimed by
the UN.
The Samtengang UNESCO club has
planned to cater the following (various) programs for 2012. Apart from the club
days’ activities, the club will also initiate different educational and
informative acts.

Tobacco has all its devilish impacts all the way through medical and religious perspectives. According to Buddhist belief, it is harmful to the three realms- the heavenly realm, the mundane and the underworld. The smoke from tobacco effects the clean air of the realm of gods (Ten-lha-yuel), the spit from the tobacco users disturbs the purity of the underworld (wog lu yi yuel). And most practical, the use of tobacco affects the world around us. Family members and friends become passive users who are directly suffering. Innocent lives are put to risk in one or the other way. The list goes on…
