Global Youth Festival Begins at Sant Nirankari Bhawan, Panipat
October 2, 2025

The Global Youth Festival commenced on October 2, 2025, at Sant Nirankari Bhawan in Panipat, marking a vibrant beginning to a truly historic event. This festival is being jointly organized by Gandhi Global Family, the National Youth Project, and the Sant Nirankari Mission.

For the first time, participants had the unique opportunity to listen to Janab Ghulam Nabi Azad, former Chief Minister and Union Minister, who delivered an insightful address on Mahatma Gandhi’s life journey—from his birth to his assassination. His powerful speech resonated deeply with the youth, highlighting the relevance of Gandhian values in today’s world.

Approximately 400 young delegates from across India, as well as from Bangladesh and Indonesia, are taking part in this momentous program. The festival aims to foster international friendship, promote peace, and encourage youth engagement in nation-building through Gandhian philosophy.
