The two organisations have come together to showcase the very best Urdu and Hindi poets and to promote peace and harmony through the medium of poetry.Hamari Association's mandate is to facilitate peace and mutual understanding through the universal platform of arts and spreading South Asia's culture. Aman ki Asha aims to promote cultural exchanges, people-to-people contacts and dialogue between the two countries.

Several other high level dignitaries, politicians and businessmen attended the hugely successful event. Two outstanding poets, one writing in Hindi and the other in Urdu, were presented with lifetime achievement awards.
