During my early June visit to Moscow, I had the opportunity to participate in the Reputation Business Forum “Green World”, thoughtfully organized by the Anna Ruska Group.

I was invited to share my thoughts on a question that concerns us all: How can we preserve the planet while raising a generation that values unity, compassion, and sustainability?

The world today is grappling with intersecting crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, socio-economic inequalities, and the fragmentation of global cooperation. Amidst these, the greatest challenge lies not just in technological innovation, but in cultivating a generation that sees itself as caretakers of the Earth and of each other.

We must create platforms where young people from diverse backgrounds can connect, collaborate, and lead sustainable action. Not in silos, but in solidarity.

The future depends not on a race to Mars, but on a united effort to heal and nurture our only home — Earth 🌍

Let us equip the next generation with the mindset, values, and tools to thrive with the planet, not apart from it.

Because the true legacy we leave behind will not be in how far we travelled, but in how deeply we cared. by @madhish

Honoured to have met Smt. Droupadi Murmu, Hon’ble President of India, alongside fellow youth representatives and awardees of the Government of India. It was a privilege to present our work and share perspectives on issues that matter most to the youth of our nation and will shape India’s growth trajectory. Our discussion covered the vision of revolutionizing the electoral process through One Nation, One Election, advancing youth-led initiatives for community transformation, and empowering tribal youth through sports and the establishment of Centres of Excellence. The Hon’ble President’s openness, vision, and sensitivity in acknowledging our ideas and requests were truly inspiring, reinforcing our commitment to contribute meaningfully to India’s progress 🇮🇳

It was an honour to participate as an Expert Speaker at Educational Siberia 2025, an international forum that brought together more than 20,000 educators, students, policymakers, and innovators from across regions all united by one purpose: to reimagine the future of learning.

I had the privilege of speaking on “Youth Cooperation in the Field of Education: Prospects and Opportunities,” representing BRICS Youth Alliance and Elixir Foundation where I shared thoughts on how empowering young people through global collaboration can create lasting educational ecosystems rooted in innovation and inclusion.

Later, I joined the roundtable on “Export of Russian Education: Best Practices from Leading Universities,” alongside international experts, an enriching exchange of perspectives on how cross-cultural partnerships can elevate the global education landscape.

Moments like these remind me that education is far more than classrooms or curricula. It’s about connection, curiosity, and the courage to create together 🌍✨

Today marked the launch of UNESCO WHV 2026 by Elixir Foundation! We started our inaugural ceremony with Mr. Madhish Parikh and Ms. Aarya Chavda, who has published incredible UNESCO-recognized books on Gujarat’s rich culture.

After a session on the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, we stepped into the heart of Old Ahmedabad to visit Vaarso, a 350-year-old restored haveli housing a vintage toy museum. Heritage artist Raheel Patel personally walked us through his incredible collection of traditional folk toys and ancient games, giving us a real glimpse into the city's living roots.

Day 1 set the perfect tone—here’s to keeping Ahmedabad’s stories alive!

Some moments stay with us not because of the recognition itself, but because of everything it represents - the people, friendships, journeys and belief in the power of young people to bring societies closer.

Today, I had the profound honour of receiving a Commemorative Medal and Certificate of Appreciation signed by H.E. Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, in recognition of my contribution to the preparation and hosting of the World Youth Festival 2024.

The recognition was graciously presented by Ms. Yulia Aryaeva, Counsellor, and Ms. Ekaterina Lazareva, Third Secretary, of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in India, during an interaction with Indian participants returning from the International Youth Festival 2026 in Yekaterinburg.

It was equally meaningful to meet H.E. Denis Alipov, Ambassador of Russia to India, and present him with a traditionally handcrafted Indian elephant, a small gesture of warmth, symbolism and friendship.

Listening to the young participants share their experiences reminded me of my own journey since 2024. What began as one youth gathering has grown into friendships across borders, cultural exchanges and a deeper belief in people-to-people connections.

For me, youth diplomacy is simple:
A young person meeting another young person.
A conversation creating understanding.
A friendship crossing a border.
A cultural experience becoming a lasting memory.

I am deeply grateful to the Embassy of Russia in India, Rossotrudnichestvo and everyone who has trusted me with opportunities to build bridges between young people.

I accept this recognition with a grateful heart and an even greater responsibility to continue creating spaces where young people can meet, listen, exchange ideas and build friendships.

Because sometimes, the smallest human connections become the strongest bridges between nations 🇮🇳🤝🇷🇺 by @madhish
