Bano Connection Lab

VISION Inspired by the timeless principle of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family), the Bano Connection Lab is dedicated to creating a world where everyone feels deeply connected. Our goal is to explore and enhance the ways in which people build relationships, fostering a sense of unity and belonging across the globe. MISSION 1. Conduct Comprehensive Research: Delve into the complex dynamics of human relationships across diverse areas including intergroup contact, mental health issues such as suicide, care for the elderly, the nuances of singlehood, and the social fabric of educational and workplace environments. 2. Incorporate Cultural Insights: Leverage India's collectivistic culture to inform our studies and interventions, ensuring our research is deeply rooted in the values and practices that shape social bonds. We also advocate for social prescription as a means for social cure in addressing mental health challenges within collectivist cultural contexts. 3. Foster Collaboration and Education: Collaborate with academic institutions, healthcare providers, NGOs, and policymakers to share insights and best practices. Provide educational resources and training to empower individuals, communities, and organizations to cultivate deeper social connections. 4. Advance Global Understanding: Share our research and innovations on a global stage, contributing to the international discourse on social connectedness, and applying our learnings to benefit societies worldwide.
