Message from the Founder
The human race is witnessing and experiencing scientific and technological developments like Artificial Intelligence, Internet, Instant Communication, Space travel, Medical breakthroughs on one hand and total chaos, confusion, clashes, conflicts, terrorism, bloodshed and massacre in the name of caste, creed, religion, land and resources on the other hand.
There is a degradation and disregard of ethical, social, moral, cultural and ecological values. A culture of revolt and action rather than patience and tolerance seems to be emerging in today's youth. Amidst this challenging environment, I am happy that an island of hope and stability is emerging with a mission to promote the ethos of value-based education, and at the same time, creating awareness amongst the young students about the importance of establishing a Culture of Peace for a holistic global society.
For thousands of students, MIT-World Peace University is a gateway to their professional life. For nearly four decades, we have led the development of education in emerging technologies and modern professional practices to meet the needs of the challenging and volatile job market. MIT-WPU endeavours to provide the finest environment for teaching, learning, research, innovation and character building.
I hope and feel confident that the students of MIT-WPU family with their wide exposure to academic and professional fields will leave a mark nationally or globally wherever they go, by exhibiting their sound professional knowledge, unimpeachable character, sense of discipline and commitment.
