Since graduating from Mahindra College in 2007, Ufra Mir has dedicated her time to promoting peace both globally and in her home, Kashmir. Influenced by the curriculum at Mahindra, Ufra went on to study Psychology and Mental Health at Luther College in the US. She founded non-profit organisation “Paigaam: A Message For Peace” as a student conflict resolution group, and since its original conception in 2011 it has gone on to grow into a registered not-for-profit organisation. Paigaam’s aim is to educate and train children, young people and adults in the values, principles, and the best practices of intercultural peace-building.
