| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Following the successful conclusion of the "India and the Great War' international conference held at the USI from 05-07 Mar 14 (see report in the USI Journal of Jan-Mar 2104 pp. 112-126) considerable interest was generated both nationally and internationally in the project. This was reflected in the spike in number of "hits" on the project's internet based platforms including the Facebook and Flickr pages. The Inaugural and Valedictory speeches of both, the Hon'ble Vice President and the Foreign Secretary, respectively, were featured on their own websites and served to generate greater awareness about the project as well as
to act as a stimulus for greater official involvement in the numerous activities planned to highlight India's role in the war on an international platform. |
