Mahendra Kumar MIshra in Global Conference on Education and Peace ,San Frensesco , US 26 March - 2 April 2026

Had a great opportunity to attend an international Conference on Education and Peace held in Los Angeles from 28 March to 1 April 2026. Thanks to Dr Dhir Jhingran, Director of LLF, New Delhi, for taking a team of practitioners on FLN, MLE, Assessment, and Strategic Planning Experts. SWetalal, Shivakshi Rana, Tushar Pundir and Pramod Kumar (Samagra, Govt of Haryana) presented the success story of LLF and its far-reaching goal of achieving literacy in India. MLE was the special focus for India. I presented on MLE in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan. It was a thrilling experience to meet thousands of scholars, professors, leaders, and Donor agencies that partnered with LLF and supported LLF's Literacy Goal in India.
Although it was a difficult journey for me, I managed to attend the LLF teams' nourishment and care, which made me attend. Here are some photos of the MLE session I attended. Grateful to Dr Dhir Jhuingran, Sweta, Shivakshi, and Tushar for their kind support in making this overseas journey meaningful.
