Youth delegates from Turkey, Switzerland, Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, and India gathered in Chandigarh for the Global Youth Meet – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam 2026, an international forum focused on cultural exchange, youth leadership, and global cooperation.

Organized by Sarv Sewa Sashaktikarn Sangthan at the UT Guest House, the event highlighted the Indian philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (One Earth, One Family, One Future) through discussions on education, environmental sustainability, community service, and the role of young people in addressing global challenges.

International participants shared perspectives on youth engagement, education, and community initiatives in their respective countries, while Indian delegates presented India’s cultural heritage, democratic values, and the contribution of youth to nation-building. The interactive sessions emphasized the importance of cross-cultural understanding and international collaboration.

Sunil Pal, Founder and National President of Sarv Sewa Sashaktikarn Sangthan, said such exchanges help strengthen global friendships and encourage young leaders to work collectively toward peace, harmony, and sustainable development.

The program concluded with a recognition ceremony honoring participating delegates. Organizers said they plan to continue hosting international youth forums to promote dialogue and cooperation among young leaders from around the world.
