Initiative for Moral and Cultural Training Foundation [IMCTF]

Concept of IMCTF

The IMCT has devised scientifically and rationally supported samskarams or training modules to impart and inculcate reverence which is eroding in the contemporary world, among the young in particular.

The triangle of Themes [values], Samskarams [training] and Symbols [sign] implants reverence for the symbols in the minds of the young so that, when they revere the Symbol where they recall and revere and also imbibe the values symbolized by it.

The IMCT module, which focuses on imparting the six high values to young India in schools, rests on three pillars, namely

  • One, voluntary participation in the Samskarams;
  • Two, Symbolism - Symbols that represent the Themes
  • Three, Samskarams to build Reverence
