The Heritage Foundation is proud to be the host organization for the 12th International Federation of Ageing Global Conference. The event is scheduled to be held in Hyderabad International Convention Centre, Hyderabad from the 10th – 13th June 2014. The themes for the conference would be "Health, Security & Community"

As President of IFA, I have great pleasure in welcoming you to India for this important global conference.

India is an ancient civilization known for hospitality and nonviolence. India has made tremendous progress since independence especially in last two decades and it has withstood damage during global economic crisis. The cultural uniqueness of India will leave you spell bound portraying the Unity in Diversity. The Indian hospitality and the deliberations during the 12th International Federation of Ageing will make your visit memorable.

Hyderabad is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in India with people from all faiths living in it. It has plenty of (Hindu) temples, Mosques, Gurdwaras (Sikh places of worship), Jain temples (Jains are members of one of the oldest religions in India), churches for various denominations of Christians, temples for the Zoroastrians (or Parsis, followers of the prophet Zoroaster; a religion originated in modern Iran). It also has a large Buddhist Vihara. As in all places in India, there is plenty of food to choose in Hyderabad. Hyderabad has developed into one of the major hubs for the IT industry, various bio technology, pharmaceutical companies etc.

I invite all the professionals, industries & academicians to be a part of this conference.

We eagerly await your arrival in Hyderabad, India in June 2014.

With best wishes,
(K R Gangadharan)
