Youth Club for a better World
It is now being increasingly realized that the society needs both Science and Spirituality. There was a time when there was some antagonism between science and religion. But now all feel that, besides science, we need social, moral, and spiritual values and we also need some discipline, such as Meditation and Ethical Education, for the promotion of the spiritual and human aspects of our personality and that blind faith and irrational and rigid dogmas that caused discards.
Ministry of Information Technology & Telecommunications
Mauritius is now poised to become a cyber island and to serve as an info-communications hub in the region. The vision of an information society dates back to the early 1990s. However, recent top level commitment coupled with the creation of an enabling environment has given Mauritius a new impetus. It is Government's declared policy to make ICT the fifth pillar of the economy alongside sugar, textiles, financial services and tourism.
