Founder's Message
"जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपि गरीयसी...!"
Dear Students/Changemakers,
Greetings from Life Transformation Centre (LTC), Daund.
With the power that pervasive technology and media gives you, you wonder about the pace with which change is happening around you and how you could do this better. You have seen or have been informed by your parents and grandparents, about the rewards of their ways of life and its pace and wonder how these should be not neglected in contemporary life. You are not alone!
Inspired from the vision of my mother, Late Smt. Urmilatai Karad, a distinguished poet, writer and pioneer who believed that education blossoms when it nourishes the whole being, at LTC, we honour her legacy by creating vibrant and transformative spaces where experiential learning meets timeless wisdom, youth are empowered to discover their infinite potential while reconnecting them with community life and nature. You will observe, that crafting tangible skills, builds both, inner fortitude and outward mastery that informs you of your inherent purpose and kindles the spirit of selfless service to our motherland. This also cultivates leadership that is forged in the crucible of nature’s resilience and illuminated by unwavering clarity.
We at LTC, believe that the integration of agriculture and nature, physical fitness and sports, leadership and team building, spirituality and wisdom and patriotism and nation building, with mainstream education is essential for transforming one’s life towards making it meaningful and rewarding for oneself and all.
LTC beckons you to this transformative experience. Be open in mind and at heart to the journey that awaits you. A journey to dream of a better future and build it too.
Let us walk this path together-with resolve, reverence, and responsibility...!
Jai Bharat, Jai Jagat…!

Dear Students / Participants,
The Life Transformation Centre (LTC) stands as a powerful embodiment of the philosophy of “Education for Life, not merely for a living.” While an independent initiative, it beautifully complements the larger vision we uphold at MIT World Peace University — nurturing holistic human development.
The visionary dream of Dr. Rahul Vishwanath Karad has taken meaningful shape through the establishment of the LTC, creating a unique platform dedicated to experiential learning and inner transformation.
In today’s fast-paced world, education must extend beyond academic achievement to cultivate mindfulness, balance, character, and purpose. The Life Transformation
Centre offers transformative experiences built upon five pillars — Agriculture & Nature, Physical Fitness & Sports, Team Building & Leadership, Spirituality & Peace, and Patriotism & Nation Building. LTC nurtures responsible, resilient, and compassionate individuals prepared to contribute meaningfully to society and the nation.
We look forward to meaningful opportunities for collaboration, through which students of MIT-WPU can greatly benefit from the enriching programs and transformative environment offered by the Centre.
This brochure captures the essence and impact of the LTC. At MIT-WPU, we value initiatives that promote wisdom, compassion, and global harmony. In this spirit, LTC stands as a significant and inspiring endeavour, guiding generations toward purposeful and peaceful living.

Chief Academic Officer’s Message
Dear Students / Participants,
The Life Transformation Centre (LTC) represents a meaningful step toward deepening experiential and value-based learning for today’s generation. As an independent initiative, it creates a dynamic environment where education extends beyond academics to nurture clarity of thought, strength of character, and balance in life.
Through its Five Foundational Pillars — Agriculture & Nature, Physical Fitness & Sports, Leadership & Team Building, Patriotism & Nation Building, and Spirituality & Peace — LTC offers structured opportunities for students to engage with real-world experiences that foster self-awareness, resilience, and purposeful growth.
This spirit of holistic development at LTC resonates strongly with the journey of MIT World Peace University. The transformation of the MIT Group of Institutions into MIT World Peace University reflects a visionary path inspired by our Revered Founder, Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad — to integrate Peace as a vital dimension of education. Rooted in his philosophy of the “Union of Science and Spirituality,” MIT-WPU remains committed to shaping individuals who combine academic excellence with moral strength, social responsibility, and spiritual depth.
In this shared spirit, initiatives like LTC strengthen our collective mission of blending knowledge with wisdom and competence with character, contributing to the development of compassionate, responsible, and visionary global citizens prepared to serve society.
