The movement also resonated internationally, with participation extending across 23 countries and 100 cities worldwide.</div><div><br></div><div>This was not simply a journey across geographical boundaries. It was a journey across India’s rich cultural, linguistic, social and spiritual diversity, bringing together different traditions, generations, communities and ways of life under one shared message: I AM PEACE.</div><div><br></div><div>The Yatra reflected the timeless spirit of Bharat, a land where diversity has always found space within the larger idea of unity. From one region to another, different languages, customs, attire, music and cultural expressions came together, while the message remained the same: peace begins within the individual and finds its expression in the world.</div><div><br></div><div>At the heart of the movement was the powerful thought: “<b>Antarik Shanti Se Vishwa Shanti</b>” - From Inner Peace to World Peace. The Vishwa Shanti Yatra invited every individual to look beyond peace as merely an aspiration for nations or societies. It called upon people to recognise their own role in creating a more peaceful world - the need of the hour. The idea is simple: when individuals choose peace, they begin impacting their families and communities, and in turn, the nation and the world at large.</div><div><br></div><div><b>The message “I Am Peace”, inspired by Prem Avaatar Maitreya Dadashree</b>, has become a simple yet profound affirmation carried by people across Bharat. Through peace walks, human chains, placards, dialogues and collective expressions, the Yatra transformed this inner message into a visible public movement.</div><div><br></div><div>The highlight of the event was the launch of the World Peace Prayer, with the grace and <b>blessings of Maitreya Dadashree</b>. The objective of the prayer was to unite humanity in a collective expression of peace, compassion and solidarity, affirming the shared responsibility to create a peaceful world.</div><div><br></div><div>The most powerful expression of the Yatra was perhaps the diversity of those who participated. Children and elders. Students and professionals. Families and young people. Citizens from different communities, professions, cultures and backgrounds. Social organisations, educational institutions, wellness communities and people from diverse walks of life stepped forward together.</div><div><br></div><div>With more than 10,000 people participating across 35+ locations in Bharat, each city brought its own character, culture and expression - together creating a powerful tapestry of peace.</div><div><br></div><div>The Yatra became a celebration of what Bharat represents: unity without uniformity, diversity without division, and a shared human aspiration that transcends every boundary.</div><div><br></div><div>While Bharat stood at the heart of the movement, the message of “I Am Peace” resonated internationally, with participation extending across 23 countries and 100 cities worldwide. The movement connected people beyond geography, reminding the world that peace is a universal language.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking on the occasion, <b>Mitra Prawesh, General Secretary, Akhil Bharatiya Adhyatmik Samiti</b>, said, “Bharat has always celebrated the many as one. The Vishwa Shanti Yatra is an expression of that timeless spirit. From one corner of the nation to another, people have come together and walked together with one intention - peace. When inner peace becomes the foundation of our thoughts, words and actions, it naturally begins to touch our families, our communities and the world. This is the spirit of ‘Antarik Shanti Se Vishwa Shanti’.”</div><div><br></div><div>A prominent personality associated with the Yatra said, “What makes this movement meaningful is its simplicity. There is no complexity in the message - I Am Peace. Yet, when people from different regions, generations and backgrounds come together and carry the same intention, that simple message acquires a collective power. Bharat has shown that its extraordinary diversity can become a beautiful expression of unity when we come together for humanity.”</div><div><br></div><div>The Yatra was non-political and faith neutral, welcoming every individual irrespective of background, belief, profession, age or community.</div><div><br></div><div>The Vishwa Shanti Yatra 2026 stands as a collective reminder that the journey towards world peace can begin with something profoundly simple:</div><div>I CHOOSE PEACE. I AM PEACE.</div><div>EK BHARAT HUM BHARAT. ONE WORLD ONE FAMILY.</div><div><br></div><div>www.abastrust.org</div>

The two-hour discussion brought together around 25 CHROs, HR Heads, CSR Heads and business leaders.</span></div><div><b>Chaired by Prof. Rajiv Prakash, Director, IIT Bhilai</b>, the roundtable focused on the capabilities India’s workforce will require as AI, automation, digitalisation and emerging technologies continue to reshape industries and job roles.</div><div>The discussion examined how academia and industry can move beyond a largely recruitment-led relationship towards a model where employers participate more actively in talent creation. Key areas included industry inputs into curriculum, live projects, internships, mentorship, applied research and greater workplace exposure for students.</div><div>Participants also discussed the need for graduates to combine strong academic foundations with problem-solving ability, digital fluency, adaptability and exposure to real business environments.</div><div><span><b>Shantanu Rooj, Founder and CEO, TeamLease EdTech,</b> said, “India cannot build the workforce required for Viksit Bharat by treating education and employment as two separate stages. Industry needs to become a participant in talent creation, not merely a consumer of talent at the end of the education process. Curriculum inputs, projects, mentorship and workplace exposure can create a much deeper connection between universities and employers.”</span></div><div>The roundtable also explored how academia-industry partnerships can become more structured, scalable and outcome-oriented, particularly around experiential learning, emerging skills, faculty-industry engagement and sustained employer participation in higher education.</div><div><b>Prof. Rajiv Prakash, Director, IIT Bhilai</b>, said, “Higher Education Institutions must provide strong conceptual foundations, but those foundations become more valuable when students can apply them to real-world problems. Meaningful academia-industry engagement can bring contemporary context into education while enabling industry to contribute to the capabilities it will need in the future.”</div><div>Insights from the discussion will contribute to a forthcoming TeamLease EdTech whitepaper titled “Talent Creation for Viksit Bharat”, which will capture industry priorities and recommendations for strengthening industry readiness, employment outcomes and innovation.</div>
