An interactive session on “Impact of

Governance on Economy”

NUML Dialogue Forum organized an interactive session on “Impact of
Governance on Economy” on May 24, 2022. There is no doubt that
enhancing a nation's business climate plays a significant role in luring both
domestic and foreign investors, which would ultimately be reflected in higher
economic growth. A politically unstable and corrupted economy with
ineffective and opaque government services will scare away investors. In
the end, a democratic environment promoting inclusive growth and human
development will be produced by a government that is socially accountable
in the provision of services and sensitive to the needs of its residents.

Talk on ‘Religion, Tolerance and Peace Building’

NUML Dialogue Forum held a talk on “Religion, Tolerance & Peace-Building” held on January 04, 2022. It is simple to
draw a link between religion and violent conflict. Many violent uprisings around the world, both recent and historical, are
couched in religious themes. It's simple to link religion and promoting peace. In numerous instances throughout human history,
people who were religiously motivated went above and above to heal rifts,
encourage reunification, or promote peaceful coexistence. Thus, it becomes
evident that comprehension of the relationships between tolerance, religion,
and peace-building is necessary in order to comprehend the dynamics of
conflict - both the causes of discord and the forces of resilience. But this
understanding is frequently hampered by the sensitivity and ambiguity that
accompany even the mention of religion.
