- Description:
- The role of universities in peace and social development has to be viewed in the context of pressing global problems and the central issue of human survival in an increasingly interdependent world. We know that concerns such as poverty, homelessness, violence and environmental and developmental crises are no longer confined to one nation. What were once, for example, local incidents of social dislocation or pollution, now involve multiple linkages that transcend national boundaries. It is also presumptuous to think that any one institution or group by itself - be it the United Nations, the non-governmental organisations or the universities - could deal with problems that are unprecedented in terms of increases in rate, scale and complexity. Given this context, the article advocates a collegia! and interdisciplinary role for universities in working towards peace and development in a militaristic, hostile world en vironment. S ustainable social development is only possible when structural inequalities and exploitative relationships have been exposed and efforts made to remove these inequalities. In the struggle for this new global dispensation, universities have a vital role to play.

- Description:
- This paper discusses the role and importance of voluntary agencies in the promotion of mental health and the rationale for such a role. As the socioeconomic and political problems of societies grow more acute everyday, the potential solutions seem increasingly to indicate the need to make wiser and more effective use of all human resources and potential. Many of the solutions to these problems seem to call for the return of responsibility for making institutions effective to the people and the community to be served, through voluntary work for the common good. This is especially true of the voluntary work undertaken by relatives and citizens in mental health and other institutions. In this period of economic stringency, which seems likely to remain with us for some time, communities, in order to maintain services, have to rely on the contributions of volunteers and voluntary agencies.
