Gurugram (Haryana) [India], February 16: Shree Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary University (SGT University), Gurugram, through its Scholars’ Council, successfully organised the Scholarship Distribution Ceremony on its campus. The event was held to recognise and reward deserving students, reaffirming the university’s commitment towards promoting academic excellence and making quality education accessible for all.

The ceremony was graced by Prof. Deepti Dharmani, Vice Chancellor, Chaudhary Bansi Lal University, Bhiwani, as the Chief Guest, and Saumya Singh, Software Engineer, Educator, and TEDx Speaker, as the Guest of Honour.

Prof. (Dr.) Hemant Verma, Vice Chancellor, SGT University, in his inaugural address said, “Scholarships are not merely a reward for academic performance, but a responsibility we take to nurture dreams, encourage perseverance, and empower students to build a brighter future for themselves and society. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every deserving learner gets the opportunity to excel.”

During the ceremony, scholarships were awarded to meritorious students, including those from economically weaker sections, providing them with financial support and motivation to pursue their academic goals without limitations. The initiative reflected SGT University’s strong belief that education should empower every learner, irrespective of their background.

Prof. Deepti Dharmani, while motivating the students, said, “SGT University’s commitment to recognising and rewarding outstanding student performance is truly commendable. While knowledge and skills are important, true education must also nurture wisdom, balance, and emotional strength. Money may be necessary for livelihood, but it can never be the ultimate goal of life. Real success lies in using education to build a better future, not just for oneself, but for all.”

Saumya Singh, while offering advice to the students, said, “While we may choose different career paths, the ultimate goal for most of us is a stable and fulfilling life. To achieve our dreams, money plays an important role, but what truly creates opportunities is strong communication skills and a solid digital presence. In today’s era, the way you express yourself and present your thoughts can take you to great heights.”

Expressing gratitude, one of the scholarship recipients shared, “This scholarship is not just financial support for me, it is a symbol of hope and encouragement. I am truly grateful to SGT University for believing in my potential and giving me the confidence to dream bigger and work harder.”

The event concluded on a proud, emotional note, celebrating student achievements and reinforcing SGT University’s vision of creating a supportive, inclusive learning environment that promotes growth, opportunity, and success.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 14:  ATLAS SkillTech University and ISDI – School of Design & Innovation, in association with the Government of India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Digital India and IndiaAI, hosted the Official Pre Summit of the AI Impact Summit 2026 at its Mumbai campus. The pre-summit established the ATLAS ISDI campus as a dynamic forum for advancing design-led thinking and future-focused skill development in an AI-driven world, while accelerating national and global dialogue on inclusive, responsible and high-impact AI ahead of the main summit scheduled in New Delhi on 19–20 February 2026.

Highlighting the significance of ATLAS SkillTech University and ISDI’s association with the AI Impact Summit, Siddharth Shahani, Co-Founder and Executive President, ATLAS SkillTech University, said, “India’s AI moment cannot be built on technology alone. This association reflects our shared belief that intelligence must be designed with human intent, strong governance and real social impact. By bringing these conversations into the university ecosystem, we are preparing future designers, technologists and leaders to engage with AI not just as a tool, but as a responsibility.” 

The pre-summit, themed “Human-First Intelligence: Learning, Leadership and Social Impact,” featured lightning talks, panel discussions, masterclass and an AI Agent Buildathon, bringing together leaders from academia, industry and policy. Speakers included Sameer Rawal (Digital Impact Square – a TCS Foundation initiative), Neha Shivran (Kissht), Indranil Chandra (Upstox), Arushi Sethi (HurixDigital), Kirti Poonia (Caimera.ai), and Aryan Singh and Rohit Ghosh (Livespace.ai), among others. By hosting these future-shaping conversations on campus and connecting with the AI Mumbai Community to co-create a stronger AI ecosystem, ATLAS SkillTech University reinforced the vital role universities play in developing future-ready leaders equipped to design, govern and deploy AI with responsibility, intent and societal impact.

The pre-summit opened with a keynote address by Siddharth Shahani where he articulated how Design + AI together form India’s new power stack. Emphasising that AI brings speed, scale and optimisation while design provides direction, restraint and human alignment, he reinforced that human-first intelligence is not a feature, but a design choice. He also highlighted the growing importance of multidisciplinary AI talent and reframed data governance as a trust architecture rather than a compliance exercise.

A panel discussion titled ‘Building India’s Impact AI Stack: Data, Design and Governance’ featured Arushi Sethi, Kirti Poonia, Neha Shivran and Sameer Rawal, exploring how India can build scalable, responsible and impact-driven AI systems by aligning thoughtful design, robust data practices and strong governance frameworks.

Industry insights were further strengthened through two lightning talks. Neha Shivran, Co-Founder, Kissht, spoke on measuring the success of AI interventions by linking design and innovation to tangible organisational outcomes. Indranil Chandra, Architect – ML & Data Engineer at Upstox, delivered a session on data governance in agentic AI systems, highlighting governance-by-design, accountability and the risks of ungoverned autonomy.

Hands-on learning formed a core part of the pre-summit through an AI Agent Buildathon led by LYZR.AI, where participants ideated, designed and built autonomous AI agents addressing real-world challenges, demonstrating the critical role of design in shaping intent, behaviour and ethics in intelligent systems. The day concluded with a Livespace.ai Masterclass led by Aryan Singh and Rohit Ghosh, showcasing how AI is transforming spatial design across physical and digital environments.

As the Official Pre-Summit to the AI Impact Summit 2026, the event underscored ATLAS SkillTech University’s commitment to advancing national and global AI discourse through education. By bringing human-first AI conversations into the classroom, the university is actively shaping a generation of leaders equipped to build ethical, inclusive and high-impact AI systems for the future.

New Delhi [India], February 12: As the world economy changes quickly, professionals are increasingly looking for ways to move between countries, industries, and jobs throughout their careers. A growing number of people are pursuing international finance certificates like the CFA and CMA as a means of demonstrating competency in areas such as:

• Understanding how financial systems function outside the U.S. and across multiple regions.
• Becoming familiar with different methods of risk management used in various parts of the world.
• Learning about the regulations applicable to all functions associated with the international financial markets.
• Understanding how businesses make decisions that have an impact on their operations globally.

The CFA and CMA credentials increasingly provide graduates and working professionals with the qualifications needed to achieve global career mobility.

The Growing Importance of Global Finance Credentials

The finance sector is now fully globalised, eliminating distinctions between local and international companies. Services and investments extend across borders, following globally accepted accounting principles.

• Professionals with CFA qualifications excel in investment management, portfolio management, equity research, and financial analysis.
• CMA qualifications are valued in management accounting, financial planning, and corporate strategy.
• Both certifications are recognised worldwide, easing access to international job opportunities.
• Employers trust candidates with CFA or CMA certifications due to their adherence to global standards.
• Career mobility for holders of CFA and CMA designations has increased significantly due to these opportunities.

CFA: Opening Doors to Global Investment Careers

The CFA programme is widely recognised to have a strong emphasis on Investment Committee Work, Ethics, Portfolio Management, and Financial Markets. CFA charterholders exhibit a high level of knowledge regarding global finance and are usually employed in the following areas by institutional and individual consumers:

• Investment Banking
• Asset Management
• Equity Research
• Risk Management
• Wealth Management
• Private Equity

The CFA Programme’s global standards enable individuals to work in major financial centres like London, New York, Dubai, Singapore, and Mumbai.

Employers prefer candidates with the CFA designation for their analytical skills and understanding of global finance, highlighting their commitment to completing the CFA Requirements.

Many multinational companies seek CFA candidates for positions with global responsibilities, showcasing the CFA’s significant impact on employment mobility.

CMA: Powering Careers in Corporate Finance and Strategy

While the CFA is primarily concerned about investments, the CMA is aimed at those with an interest in corporate finance or management accounting.

Achieving a CMA certification will provide you with expertise in:

• The budgeting process
• Financial Planning
• Cost Management
• Performance Analysis
• Internal Controls
• Making Strategic Decisions

The CMA designation is highly valued, especially among individuals wanting to work for multinational companies. Globalisation means companies need professionals who can execute financial strategies and manage business performance.

CMA candidates often receive job offers in the following positions:

• Financial Analyst
• Financial Manager
• Cost Accountant
• FP&A Specialist
• Corporate Controller

CMA’s global market recognition gives CMA candidates all over the world access to new job opportunities in the U.S., the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.

The strategic emphasis of CMA lends itself to opportunities for faster career advancement and leadership mobility, making CMA a great option for flexible career mobility across sectors and industries.

Why Employers Value CFA and CMA for Career Mobility

Today’s employers want workers who can function well in a global workplace. Certifications such as the CFA and CMA indicate to employers that a candidate has proficiency in international finance standards and compliance with ethics.

Here is why CFA and CMA certifications are valuable to employers:

• The CFA and CMA have a global curriculum and curriculum framework.

• The CFA and CMA examinations are uniformly designed to have the same content and rigour internationally.

• The CFA and CMA certifications represent extensive technical competencies in finance.

• CFA and CMA certifications are used interchangeably by employers as a benchmark across multiple countries.

When an applicant holds a CFA or CMA designation, they have shown that they have the skills necessary for financial work. Consequently, employers will have an increased level of trust in a worker’s ability to complete work opportunities that cross borders.

Higher Salary Potential with CFA and CMA

Salary growth is an important factor that affects one’s ability to move ahead in their career. If professionals are offered higher salaries, they are usually more than happy to relocate.

1. There is a high degree of salary competition among CFA charterholders working in the investment banking and asset management industries, as well as among CMA professionals in corporate finance at multinational companies.

2. CFA and CMA certificates are globally recognized so companies will often pay a premium for CFA or CMA credentials. These higher salaries will therefore result in CFA and CMA holders seeking international positions.

3. Having a CFA or CMA certificate provides a significant financial advantage over non-certified professionals and contributes to an individual’s ability to progress within their respective profession.

Flexibility Across Industries

Career mobility in the field of finance is also greatly affected by the fact that finance professionals can be employed in a large number of industries and types of organisations.

Those with a CFA designation can work in any of the following industries:

• Banking
• Insurance
• Investment Firms
• Consulting
• FinTech

Those with a CMA designation can work in any of the following industries:

• Manufacturing
• Information Technology
• Healthcare
• Retail
• Multinational Corporations

As a result of having such broad industry options, CFA and CMA designation holders can change jobs easily based on current market trends, without being limited to their respective sectors.

Building Global Professional Networks

CFA and CMA offer access to extensive global professional networks.

• CFA has societies in many countries and organises events, conferences, and other opportunities for networking to help CFA candidates build relationships with financial leaders worldwide.
• Similarly, CMA members have access to the CMA International Chapters and CMA Professional Communities.

These networks create improved job referrals, increased opportunities for mentoring, and greater exposure to international work experience. Networking can significantly enhance mobility within your career; therefore, by obtaining either a CFA or CMA credential, you will reap many rewards.

A Competitive Edge in a Crowded Job Market

There are many graduates entering the finance job market with just a basic degree; however, they may not have had the opportunity to earn their CFA or CMA certification.

• Employers use these credentials to differentiate between candidates when evaluating applicants.
• A candidate with a CFA clearly demonstrates a high level of investment expertise, while a candidate with a CMA demonstrates a high level of expertise in management accounting.
• Recruiters will typically focus on sourcing globally certified candidates as their first choice when hiring internationally, as this can drastically increase that candidate’s chances of obtaining a career mobility opportunity.

Why Graduates Are Choosing CFA and CMA Early

Recent graduates have been planning for their futures, with aspirations for jobs in different countries and opportunities to increase their earnings and secure employment with proven companies that recognise them.

Therefore, many graduates have begun their pursuit of obtaining the CFA and/or CMA as soon as they graduate (or shortly thereafter).

Preparation for the CFA and/or CMA allows candidates to:

• Develop their skill set quickly
• Enhance their chance of obtaining high-paying positions
• Achieve global recognition
• Advance faster within their chosen profession

Since both CFAs and CMAs provide structured approaches to developing professionals, they are an excellent option for anyone who wishes to have a successful career.

How International Qualifications Reduce Career Barriers

Historically, when professionals wanted to apply for jobs overseas, there were restrictions on them based on their degrees being recognised only in their home country, but neither the CFA nor the CMA has this restriction.

• Employers will quickly recognise the value of CFA and CMA credentials since both of these certifications are recognized across multiple countries.
• Confusion regarding the academic credentials of an applicant is diminished, thus creating additional confidence that the applicant is qualified to perform the job for which they are applying.
• As globalisation increases, certification based on testing, such as the CFA or CMA, will continue to impact career mobility across countries.

The Future of Career Mobility in Finance

There is a growing need for professionals to help fill these roles across many industries. The CMA and CFA certification programmes also provide a very good match to trends surrounding globalised financial services.

• The CFA provides a more comprehensive analysis of the market around the world, and the CMA oversees the finance and accounting function of a multinational company.
• With these two internationally recognised certifications, there is an optimistic view regarding careers available to people looking to establish themselves in the international financial services industry.

Conclusion: Why CFA and CMA Are Shaping Global Careers

For ambitious careers seeking international exposure and movement, having an international finance qualification is essential.

If you are looking to work in investment or financial markets, you should get a CFA. If you want to work in corporate finance/management roles, CMA would be the best choice. Both certifications provide worldwide recognition, increased earning potential, flexibility across industries, and professional credibility.

As businesses become more global, they will seek professionals with global certification. CFA/CMA-certified professionals can build their careers without geographic boundaries; obtaining either certification can be strategic.

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 11: In a world of sharper geopolitical faultlines, faster technology cycles and heightened scrutiny, strategy has become a continuous discipline. Organisations increasingly need senior leaders who can read signals early, make hard trade-offs with analytical rigour and translate ambition into execution across functions and geographies. Against this backdrop, the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (IIM Lucknow), in association with TimesPro, has begun accepting applications for the 10th batch of its Chief Strategy Officers Programme, designed for experienced professionals shaping enterprise direction and driving multi-region transformation.

Spanning 10 months, the programme develops end-to-end capability, from diagnosing external disruption to translating strategy into measurable execution. Participants learn to build advantage in fast-changing environments, integrate digital and AI into decision-making, embed ESG into long-range planning and manage risk through sharper capital allocation and scenario thinking. Designed for aspiring CSOs, COOs and CEOs, as well as senior managers and vice-presidents leading large change agendas, the programme builds the confidence to influence boards, guide business units and mobilise stakeholders around coherent strategic priorities.

As organisations navigate uncertainty and disruption, they need leaders who can ground strategy in evidence while acting with speed and clarity. PwC’s Global CEO Survey 2026, based on responses from CEOs across 95 countries and territories, shows that the foremost concern for many leaders is whether their organisations are transforming quickly enough to keep pace with technological change, including AI—42% cite this as their top concern. Gartner’s 2024 CEO and Senior Business Executive Survey echoes’ this urgency: 62% of CEOs rank growth as their highest business priority, while 34% identify AI as the leading theme for the next wave of business transformation after digital.

Aimed at professionals with 10+ years of full-time work experience, the programme is anchored in three interconnected modules: Sensing Opportunity, Crafting Competitive Advantage and Execution & Realising Competitive Advantage. The curriculum covers strategic decision-making, emerging disruptions, corporate and business strategy, international strategy, mergers and acquisitions, corporate entrepreneurship, strategic communication, change and transformation and design thinking, enabling participants to move from insight to action with rigour.

Commenting on the 10th batch, Sabayachi Sinha, Professor, IIM Lucknow said, “Strategy now demands both range and discipline; leaders must read uncertainty early, choose where to compete, and execute with clarity across functions and geographies. This programme develops that capability through structured frameworks, contemporary cases and peer learning that mirror boardroom complexity. Participants leave with sharper strategic intuition, stronger analytical tools and the ability to translate ambition into resilient, measurable growth.”

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head – Executive Education, TimesPro, said, “Senior leaders rarely need more information, they need better synthesis, decision discipline and execution velocity. Our collaboration with IIM Lucknow brings that together through live, faculty-led learning, applied assignments and a capstone that turns frameworks into outcomes. The programme fits demanding calendars while building credible strategic capability that leaders can deploy immediately across transformation, growth and stakeholder alignment.”

Over the years, the Chief Strategy Officers Programme has drawn professionals from BFSI, manufacturing, FMCG, IT, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and other sectors. Cohorts typically include C-suite leaders, vice presidents, directors and senior managers responsible for enterprise priorities and transformation roadmaps.

IIM Lucknow faculty deliver the learning through TimesPro’s Direct-to-Device platform, combining live sessions with case discussions, simulations, quizzes and graded assignments. A three-day on-campus immersion at IIM Lucknow enables deeper reflection and peer exchange. Participants also complete a capstone project, applying digital transformation, AI and innovation toolkits to a real strategic challenge. On successful completion, learners receive an IIM Lucknow certificate and alumni credentials.

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], February 10: Urjasvini Special School is not just a school — it is a place of hope, healing, acceptance, and new beginnings. Recognized by many as the best special school in Indore, Urjasvini exists for one powerful purpose: to help every child feel seen, valued, capable, and worthy.

Director of Urjasvini Special School , Clinical and Child Psychologist Dr Vini Jhariya said , For years, many families have silently struggled with worry and confusion when their child could not cope in a regular classroom. Society often spreads painful myths — that special schools are only for “severely disabled” children. This belief is not only incorrect, it is deeply unfair to children who are neurodiverse — including children with Autism (ASD), ADHD, Down syndrome, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and Specific Learning Disability (SLD). These children are often bright, creative, sensitive, and intelligent; they simply learn differently and deserve an environment that understands their unique needs.

At Urjasvini — the best special school in Indore — we look beyond labels and diagnoses. Whether a child has ADHD and struggles with attention, dyslexia and finds reading challenging, dyscalculia and finds numbers difficult, SLD affecting academics, or Autism/ASD affecting communication and social understanding — we see potential, not limitation. Every child is respected as a valued member of our school community.

School Managing Director Hitesh Jhariya said , What truly makes Urjasvini the best special school in Indore is the emotional safety we create. Here, children are free from comparison, ridicule, and constant academic pressure. Instead, they experience:

Gentle, individualized learning support

Small, caring classrooms

Encouragement over criticism

Celebration of effort, not just grades

A nurturing, inclusive school culture

Life skills that build confidence and independence

A space where neurodiversity is not just accepted, but celebrated

The spirit of Urjasvini was beautifully reflected in our Annual Day Function. That day was more than an event — it was a celebration of courage, resilience, and growth. Children with Autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, dyslexia, SLD, and other learning differences all participated with joy and pride. Some sang, some danced, some spoke, and some simply stood confidently on stage — but every child shone in their own way. Parents sat with tears of pride, realizing how far their children had come since joining the best special school in Indore.

To every parent searching for the right school for a child with Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, Down syndrome, or SLD — we invite you with warmth and humility: come and meet the children of Urjasvini Special School once. Spend time with them, talk to them, observe their confidence and happiness. You will feel the magic of Urjasvini in their smiles.

We also gently remind parents to let go of the fear of “log kya kahenge?” Society will always have opinions — but your child’s future depends on your choices today. Instead of worrying about others, focus on one question: Where will my child truly grow, feel safe, and believe in themselves? At Urjasvini — the best special school in Indore — your child will not just survive; they will begin to thrive emotionally and personally.

Urjasvini does not chase marksheets, rankings, or rote results. Our sacred mission is to help every neurodiverse child — whether with Autism (ASD), ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, Down syndrome, or SLD — stand on their own feet, build self-respect, gain independence, and move forward in life with dignity.

Because at Urjasvini Special School — the best special school in Indore — every child is not just educated… they are truly understood, valued, and loved.

Urjasvini Special School is located at 100-A, Baikunth Dham Colony, Old Palasia, Saket, Indore. Contact us at 7999215093 or 9893371516 to learn more or to know more about how we can help your child reach their full potential!

World Fashion University (WFU) has officially announced its establishment

New Delhi [India], February 07: World Fashion University (WFU) has officially announced its establishment, marking a significant milestone in the global creative education landscape. Developed with a vision to connect academic learning with real-world industry practice, the institution has been created to serve students, professionals, and creative communities across international borders.

The University emerges from years of collaborative groundwork involving educators, industry leaders, and professional organizations operating within fashion, beauty, and craft sectors. Its establishment reflects a growing global recognition that creative industries require structured academic ecosystems capable of integrating innovation, technology, sustainability, and cultural knowledge.

Legal Formation and Regulatory Position

World Fashion University has been incorporated under the Companies Act of the Republic of Uganda through the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB). Academic development activities are structured with awareness of the regulatory framework governed by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE), Ministry of Education & Sports.

The institution recognises that institutional licensing, programme accreditation, and degree authorization are subject to regulatory approval processes, and it continues to advance its development within these structured compliance pathways. This approach reflects a long-term commitment to transparency, academic responsibility, and adherence to international governance expectations.

Recognition and Institutional Standing

As the University enters its operational phase, its structured governance and academic positioning have begun receiving acknowledgement across international platforms.

In the IFA Africa Rankings 2026, World Fashion University was placed:

#1 among Uganda’s Top Ranked Private Fashion Universities

Overall Rank #19 across the regional evaluation

This placement reflects the institution’s emerging visibility within specialized fashion education assessments.

The University has also been honoured with the title:

Best Fashion University — 2026

Presented by the International Award Forum

The recognition cited the University’s academic framework, global orientation, and contribution toward advancing creative education initiatives.

Additionally, institutional policy execution and governance structuring were evaluated by International Quality and Standard Certifications Private Limited, resulting in:

Global Ranking Position — #3

This evaluation highlighted the implementation of ISO-aligned policy systems, structured governance practices, and compliance-oriented institutional planning.

These acknowledgements represent developmental milestones during the University’s early establishment phase and are viewed internally as encouragement for continued institutional growth rather than endpoints of achievement.

Academic Scope and Educational Direction

World Fashion University has been structured to address the diverse and evolving needs of the global creative economy. Its academic areas span design, textiles, beauty sciences, craft traditions, and creative entrepreneurship — fields that collectively contribute to employment generation and cultural preservation worldwide.

Programmes are designed across multiple learning levels including certificate training, diploma education, advanced professional pathways, and higher academic tracks. The University’s approach emphasises skill application, conceptual thinking, and industry awareness rather than purely theoretical instruction.

By combining structured coursework with practical exposure, the institution aims to prepare learners not just for employment, but for meaningful participation in creative sectors.

Industry Ecosystem Integration

A defining characteristic of the University is its active connection with industry bodies and professional networks. Through collaborative engagement with global organisations and sector alliances, the institution provides students with opportunities to interact with working professionals, participate in forums, and observe real-time industry dynamics.

This integration reflects a deliberate educational philosophy — that relevance to industry practice is essential for contemporary creative education. Exposure to global platforms enables learners to contextualise their training within broader economic and cultural environments.

Research, Culture, and Sustainability

Beyond teaching programmes, World Fashion University encourages research that connects creative disciplines with technological innovation and sustainable practices. Areas of focus include material innovation, digital design environments, heritage craft documentation, and ethical production awareness.

The University views research as both intellectual contribution and social responsibility — particularly in supporting traditional artisan communities and environmentally responsible practices.

Founder’s Perspective

Commenting on the announcement, Founder & Chancellor Dr. Aravind Lakshminarayanan noted that the establishment of the University represents a continuation of long-standing efforts to empower creative professionals through structured education.

He emphasised that fashion and creative sectors extend beyond aesthetics — contributing to livelihoods, identity, and economic mobility — and that educational institutions must evolve to support these realities.

His vision for the University centres on building an inclusive platform that encourages innovation, confidence, and global engagement among learners and practitioners.

Looking Ahead

With its foundational structure now established, World Fashion University intends to expand academic offerings, deepen international collaboration, and develop specialised research initiatives. The long-term objective is to position the institution as a meaningful contributor to global creative education while maintaining accountability to regulatory and academic standards.

About World Fashion University

World Fashion University is an international academic institution focused on advancing education within fashion, beauty, and creative industries through interdisciplinary learning and industry engagement. It seeks to support creative professionals, preserve cultural knowledge, and promote sustainable innovation across global communities.

Mohali (Punjab) [India], February 06: CGC University, Mohali, emerged as a vibrant nucleus of intellectual exchange, cultural celebration, and national dialogue as it hosted Sahityam 2026, its official Literature Festival. Held as a two-day intellectual and cultural celebration, the festival stood as a powerful testament to the University’s commitment to nurturing critical thought, creative expression, and leadership aligned with the ethos of Viksit Bharat.

The festival was ceremoniously inaugurated by Shri Nayab Singh Saini, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Haryana, whose presence marked a defining milestone for Sahityam 2026. In his address, the Hon’ble Chief Minister articulated the vision of Viksit Bharat as a collective national responsibility rooted in education, youth empowerment, innovation, and ethical governance. Emphasising the pivotal role of universities as incubators of ideas and agents of nation-building, he underscored how platforms like Sahityam foster informed discourse, cultural confidence, and civic responsibility, cornerstones of India’s journey towards becoming a developed, inclusive, and globally influential nation.

The occasion was further elevated by the distinguished presence of Dr. Kiran Bedi, IPS (Retd.), India’s first woman IPS officer and former Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry. Her address offered profound insights into leadership, discipline, and public service, resonating deeply with the values of Viksit Bharat. A landmark highlight of the festival was the launch of the Kiran Bedi Leadership Learning Program (KBLL)—a transformative initiative aimed at nurturing principled, resilient, and future-ready leaders.

Adding a significant dimension of innovation and entrepreneurship to Sahityam 2026, several startups incubated at CGC University, Mohali were recognised for securing prestigious funding support—underscoring the University’s growing role as a catalyst for startup culture and innovation-driven nation-building. EDS Wagon Tech Pvt. Ltd. received a seed grant of ₹10,00,000 from IIT Madras, while Techealth Apex Pvt. Ltd. secured ₹6.5 lakh in seed funding from Startup Punjab, the Punjab State Council for Science & Technology, and the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISF). Vidyutam Verde NCESOL Pvt. Ltd. was awarded a seed fund of ₹3 lakh from Startup Punjab, and Aasyra received funding support from AICTE. These achievements reflected the University’s strong innovation ecosystem and its commitment to nurturing entrepreneurial leadership aligned with the national vision.

The festival also witnessed a mega book launch, celebrating literature as both conscience and catalyst of societal transformation. Renowned author Yash Tiwari, along with eminent literary voices Mr. Anish Kanjilal and Ms. Pankhuri Gidwani, engaged audiences in compelling conversations exploring identity, ambition, governance, and the evolving power of narrative in contemporary India. The discourse was further enriched by the presence of distinguished dignitaries including Shri Ashok Kumar, IPS (Retd.), former DGP of Uttarakhand and Vice Chancellor, Sports University of Haryana; Ms. Navjyot Randhawa, Editor and Presenter associated with GNT, Aaj Tak, and India Today; Mr. Umang Jindal, CEO, Homeland Group; and Mr. Ashish Kumar Chaudhary, Indian International Boxer and Olympian—each contributing nuanced perspectives across governance, media, entrepreneurship, and sport.
