To undertake exchange programmes and other activities that are aimed at promoting constructive interaction between experts, academicians, students and voluntary social workers from India and abroad for mutually beneficial international understanding.
To undertake collaborative research projects on field study projects and similar activities among different countries.
To promote participation of Indian voluntary organisations in providing relief and rehabilitation to people across the globe that are in distress, facing natural and/or man-made calamities.
