# I. Introduction

od made this world a beautiful place to live and sent his best creations such as human beings to live on this earth. He wanted his men to live on this place with mutual love, respect and cooperation. All the religious systems and cultures of the World whether it is Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Muslim etc. from the day of their origin always preached for righteous relationship among the human beings to enforce peace and harmony. All the Scriptures have also been 'useful for training us in righteousness' (right relationships) and therefore relevant in identifying the foundations of a relational society. Even at present various International bodies like UNESCO, SAARC, UN, and World Bank etc. are working at their levels and positions best to promote social harmony among different nations of the World. But instead we are facing crisis of weak, unjust or broken relationships, both at the personal levels and at the levels of groups or organizations. This has affected the aim of attaining Social harmony to the Worst. In order to attain Social Harmony and to have righteous relationship, we must understand the concept of Social harmony and various Institutional roles operating underneath.

of the Scientific Development Concept. The term 'social harmony' refers to the construction of a harmonious society within the aspects of a federal or communist republic. Social Harmony is defined as a process of valuing, expressing, and promoting love, trust, admiration, peace, harmony, respect, generosity and equity upon other people in any particular society regardless of their national origin, weight, marital status, ethnicity, colour, gender, race, age and occupation etc. among other aspects. Hence Social harmony is quite essential for truly being social as being social also means living harmoniously with each other. For this purpose, we must understand the different institutions working in the society and the social relationships existing between them. These institutions can be many. In this table, Institutions, contains 'rules of behaviour' and hence have all sorts of functions. They reflect the society's beliefs concerning right and wrong. They also talk of the society who has the authority and power to do something about those beliefs. Institutions may change over time slowly and hence lead to long term cultural and social change. These Institutions hence are the critical factors to determine the levels of social harmony in society.


# III. How to Promote Social Harmony?

The answer to this question lies in making people more social for each other. It can be done at two levels: for each other and use knowledge-based awareness to progress, do not need to fear. It is so because in their efforts to support the group, their own needs are ultimately met. Smaller groups may merge to become larger groups and thereby help to survive and grow each other. If we won't do so, we will be faced with threats from desperate people in near future. The people who don't have enough to survive will turn into allies for those who have more than enough to waste. These allies have to be sorted out with harmonious and righteous relationships. ? Bridging the Gap: The whole universe is split into duality. It is just like the choice between two opposing spirals, one ascending towards creation, and the other descending towards destruction. But the need is to bridge this gap and move people to the direction of creation only.
a) Institutional level b) Personal Level a)
Generally, when we consciously choose to serve others and at the same time, respect their free will to choose also, we favor the spirit of creation and the universe will also respond in harmony.

To conclude, the key to attain Social Harmony lies in being truly social. It can be done by not only understanding one's own needs and priorities but also respecting the same of others too. Then only we can construct a progressive nation which can work on the path of sustainable development.
