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,
The Life Transformation Center (LTC) of MIT World Peace University embodies the university’s core philosophy — “Education for Life, not merely for a living.” It reflects our deep commitment to holistic human development, nurturing the mind, body, and spirit in harmony. The visionary dream of Executive President Dr. Rahul Vishwanath Karad has come to life through the establishment of the LTC.

Built upon five pillars — Physical Fitness & Sports, Team Building & Leadership, Spirituality & Wisdom, Agriculture & Nature, and Patriotism & Nation Building — the LTC aims to nurture complete citizens capable of building a strong nation. Experiences in these help students grow into compassionate, resilient, and responsible global citizens.
This brochure captures the essence and impact of the LTC — stories of young minds discovering clarity, confidence, and inner peace.

Dear Students,
The transformation of the MIT Group of Institutions into MIT World Peace University marks a bold and visionary step inspired by our Revered Founder, Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad — to integrate Peace as an essential dimension of education. Guided by his philosophy of the “Union of Science and Spirituality,” MIT–WPU continues its mission to nurture individuals who unite academic excellence with moral, social, and spiritual values.
Under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Rahul V. Karad, Executive President, MIT–WPU, the University has embraced experiential learning as a cornerstone of its educational philosophy. Initiatives such as the Rural Immersion Program, National and Global Academic Immersion Program, and the Life Transformation Centre (LTC) have been developed to expand students’ horizons and prepare them for purposeful lives of service.
LTC stands at the heart of this vision — a space where learning transcends the classroom to engage mind, body, and spirit. Through its Five Foundational Pillars — Agriculture & Nature, Physical Fitness & Sports, Leadership & Team Building, Patriotism & Nation Building, and Spirituality & Peace — students experience self–awareness, balance, and personal growth.
