As world is facing numerous challenges of violence and hatred, MIMC is deeply developing the vistas of humanity and filling the gap with helping the needy and supporting the lives of helpless souls.   

Currently, MIMC is delivering more than 64 transformative social programs, each of which perfectly align with our Prime Minister’s national social initiatives, and which are also in alignment with the UN’s 2030 Global Vision, which calls for the achievement of 17 Goals of Sustainable Development.

Recollecting what it truly means to be “human”, our shared humanity, and our inter-relatedness with the living environment that surrounds and sustains us, the most urgent and pressing need of our time is clearly Mahakaruna – Great Compassion, which has the power to transform all before it.

In pursuance of its objectives, MIMC has organised the “Mahakaruna - Compassion in Action” event for the past 4 years, and the response has been tremendously positive. Spurred on by this success, this year's event(s) will be bigger and bolder than ever before, so that the message of Mahakaruna will spread far and wide.

“This year's second Mahakaruna Diwas was successfully concluded on 4^th Febuary, 2017 at Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Auditorium.
