Ludhiana, August 6, 2026: Preparations have been completed for the Global Peace Conference being organised by Punjabi Sahit Akedemi, Ludhiana, in collaboration with Indian Doctors for Peace and Development (IDPD). The conference will be held on August 9 at 10:00 a.m. at Punjabi Bhawan, Ludhiana.
Dr. Sarabjit Singh, President of Punjabi Sahit Academy, Ludhiana, said that the conference, themed "Global Wars, Our Challenges and Human Existence," is being organised to pay tribute to the victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Dr. Arun Mitra, President of IDPD, said that wars are causing severe environmental destruction. He noted that armed conflicts have contributed to a rise in forest fires and other ecological damage. He added that documentaries on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki tragedies will also be screened during the conference.
Dr. Pal Kaur, Senior Vice-President of the Academy, said that such conferences are essential in the present global environment. She pointed out that modern wars disproportionately affect women and children. Even in regions not directly affected by war, people continue to suffer from indirect consequences such as inflation, unemployment, and other humanitarian challenges.
Dr. Gulzar Singh Pandher, General Secretary of Punjabi Sahit Academy, said that Dr. Arvind, former Vice-Chancellor of Punjabi University, Patiala, will attend as the Chief Guest, while Satnam Chana will be the Keynote Speaker. Dr. Sukhdev Singh Sirsa will preside over the conference.
The Special Guests will include Amarjit Singh Tikka, Er. Bawa Gurvinder Singh Sarna, and Shahi Imam Usmani Ji.
He further informed that renowned doctors will present documentary films highlighting the devastating impact of wars. Academy Secretaries Dr. Hari Singh Jachak, K. Sadhu Singh, and Prabhjot Sohi have extended an open invitation to all peace-loving citizens to participate in the Global Peace Conference.
