CIVILIZATION definition

CIVILIZATION in true sense means coming and working together for each other with the idea of benefiting the other. However, to keep pace with the changing environment the “civilization” seems to lose its true meaning. One should realize that the synergy is gained by coming together and not by staying isolated. The organizations must understand the need of the hour that the Government cannot alone uplift the society as a whole and thus every organization must extend their hands for this noble cause.
