Since the United Nations Charter went into effect on October 24, the world honors United Nations Day on that day each year. This is a worldwide celebration of the UN’s work to advance human rights, peace, and security worldwide.

The UN Day 2024 was celebrated by WEBFUNA (WEST BENGAL FEDERATION OF UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION) at The Lalit Great Eastern Hotel under the guidance of its Chairman Mr. Sitaram Sharma.

The event was graced with the presence of its core members and eminent guests like Prof. Saugata Roy –MP(Lok Sabha) & President of WEBFUNA, Ambassador Krishnan Srinivasan-IFS(Ret’d) Former Foreign Secretary of India & Former DSG of Commonwealth of Nations, Dr. Rahul Varma-SG of WEBFUNA, Dr.Kanchan Chakravarty & Mr. Saurabh Maheshwari- JS of WEBFUNA, Mr. Rajendra Khandelwal-Founder and Chairman of Dhanwantary Medicare, Mr. Imran Zaki–Social Entrepreneur & President of FACES, Mr. Bobby Chakraborty – Actor /Activist/Teacher of Method Acting, (the trio also being The Executive Committee Members of WEBFUNA), and others.

As the world slowly but surely creeps toward destruction and the genocidal Holocaust in the name of religion, region, and faith, the unanimous cry of this august gathering and the gala dinner that followed was an earnest plea to the UN General Assembly to awaken from its slumber and dive towards reviving world peace.
