New Delhi, July 2025 – In a landmark celebration of peace, unity, and humanitarian values, the Swarna Bharat Parivaar Trust successfully hosted the prestigious Nelson Mandela Peace Award 2025, recognizing the extraordinary contributions of 51 visionary leaders from across the globe. The award ceremony, held in New Delhi, served as a testament to the enduring legacy of Nelson Mandela and his lifelong mission of promoting peace, justice, and equality.
The event brought together distinguished leaders, change-makers, social activists, and diplomats from different countries, reflecting the universal need to strengthen peace and harmony across borders. Each awardee was honored for their unwavering dedication to building bridges between communities, fostering intercultural understanding, and addressing global challenges with compassion and resilience.
Speaking on the occasion, Adv. Peeyush Pandit, Chairman of Swarna Bharat Parivaar Trust, congratulated all the winners and highlighted the deeper significance of the award. “The Nelson Mandela Peace Award is not just an honor but an international recognition of extraordinary commitment to humanity. These 51 leaders have demonstrated through their work that peace is not merely the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice, equality, and hope. Their efforts resonate with the vision of Nelson Mandela and inspire generations to continue the global journey towards peace.”
The ceremony reflected the trust’s mission to encourage humanitarian service and cross-border collaboration. Awardees represented diverse fields such as education, social service, governance, sustainable development, youth empowerment, women’s rights, conflict resolution, and environmental protection. Despite their varied backgrounds, they all shared a common goal – to uplift societies and ensure a better, more peaceful future for all.
This year’s Nelson Mandela Peace Award was especially significant as it came at a time when the world faces increasing challenges of conflict, inequality, and climate change. By honoring individuals and organizations that go beyond personal ambition to serve humanity, the award not only recognized outstanding achievements but also encouraged others to follow the path of peace and compassion.
The event also emphasized the role of India in promoting global unity. As the host nation, India showcased its commitment to Gandhian principles of non-violence and universal brotherhood, values that align closely with Nelson Mandela’s lifelong struggle against apartheid and injustice.
Chairman Pandit further added, “Peace is the foundation of progress. Without peace, there can be no sustainable growth or equality. The Nelson Mandela Peace Award 2025 is our way of acknowledging those who dedicate their lives to making peace a reality in every corner of the world.”
The ceremony concluded with a collective pledge by the awardees and participants to continue strengthening global peace efforts, fostering dialogue, and working collaboratively towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Swarna Bharat Parivaar Trust reiterated its commitment to supporting humanitarian projects, uplifting marginalized communities, and nurturing young leaders who can carry forward the message of peace and harmony.
As the Nelson Mandela Peace Award 2025 drew to a close, one message resonated powerfully among the gathering: peace is not a distant dream but a responsibility shared by all of humanity.
