There is something very special about seeing the Pankaj name associated with an award that stands for peace, understanding and positive change.
The Pankaj Award to End Conflict recognises individuals and initiatives working to bring people together, resolve conflict and create stronger, more inclusive communities around the world.
As Selva prepares to present the award at the One Young World Summit 2026 in South Africa, I am incredibly proud of what this moment represents — not simply for our family, but for the young leaders whose courage and commitment the award exists to celebrate.
Real change often begins with people who are willing to listen, understand different perspectives and take action when it matters.
I am looking forward to seeing another remarkable changemaker recognised on the global One Young World stage. 🤝🌍
