MIT World Peace University, Pune MIT Pune has a rich legacy of over 4 decades in the field of education and is known amongst the top education institutions in India. It was established in the year 1983 by Revered Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad. MIT has 10+ campuses across India covering 1000+ acres of land with world class infrastructure and amenities. The Founders of MIT-WPU Pune have now embarked upon a journey to make their vision of ‘Attaining World Peace through Education’ a reality. A step towards this vision has been that MIT Pune has been accorded the status of University as ‘Dr Vishwanath Karad MIT World Peace University’ (MIT-WPU) under Government of Maharashtra Act No. XXXV 2017 and is recognized by UGC.

MIT-WPU is the flagship University of MIT Group of Institutions situated in Pune. MIT-WPU is the center for scientific, educational, technological

and spiritual development. MIT-WPU offers UG, PG, Ph.D., Certificate and Diploma programmes in Liberal Arts, Fine Arts, Media & Journalism,

Engineering, Pharmacy, Management, Design, Political Leadership & Governance, Education, Law and Computer Sciences. At any given point of

time, more than 60,000 students are pursuing various courses across 65+ Institutes of MIT Pune through campus programmes.

World Peace Dome, Pune – The World WonderWorld’s Biggest Dome at Pune (diameter 160 ft. and height of 263 ft.) has been constructed with a singular objective of propagating the message

of world peace in alignment with the activities of MIT World Peace University. The structure contains a grand meditation hall that houses 54 larger

than life statues of some of the most revered saints, scientists and philosophers of the world like - Plato, Shri Ram, Jesus Christ, Gautam Buddha,

Emmanuel Kant Charles Darwin and others. The expansive library houses 10000+ books of various religions and religious scriptures and is a

testament to the unification of religions to bring peace into the world.

MAEER’s World Peace CenterThe World Peace Centre (Alandi) of MAEER’s MIT, Pune, India was established on 1st December 1996, as an outcome of the “World Philosophers

Meet” – A Parliament of Science, Religion and Philosophy, held in November, 1996 at MIT Pune. The conference was attended by over 700

eminent scientists, scholars, social scientists, philosophers and religious leaders, apart from educationists and other intellectuals from India and

abroad. The World Peace Centre endeavors to establish a “Culture of Peace” in a systematic and organized manner through education and training

at the global level.

MIT-WPU School of Liberal Arts, Fine Arts, Media and Journalism School of Liberal Arts, Fine Arts, Media and Journalism was established in 2017. Within a short span of two years, MIT-WPU has become the preferred destination for pursuing higher education in Liberal Arts, Fine Arts, Media and Journalism. The School provides value based learning through interactive sessions, hands-on practical sessions, tutorials, classroom presentations, industry driven assignments. Furthermore, field trips, rural immersion programmes, internship, national and international study tours and projects gives in-depth insights about society and industry. Foundation, core, electives and unique courses related to world peace along with real life research projects are a part of the programme design. Adequate emphasis is laid upon co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The school helps students to understand the dynamics of the society and industry.

The Indian Music Therapy AssociationThe Indian Music Therapy Association (IMTA) is a professional forum for the working Music Therapists of India to propagate Music Therapy as a successful and alternative means of intervention across various ailments and strive towards enlarging the research and education of Music Therapy in India. Music has been used as a healer, a relaxer, a meditator, etc. "We tend to think of music as an art or a cultural attribute," notes Robert Zatorre, a neuro scientist at McGill University in Montreal, "but it is a complex human behaviour that is as worthy of scientific study as any other." It is indeed hard to exaggerate the effect music can have on the human brain. What seems clear is that the ability to experience and react to music is deeply embedded in the biology of mankind.
