Rotary’s newest Peace Center at Symbiosis International University was inaugurated this week on January 26th. The Center is on the University’s Lavale campus in Pune, India. Offering a fully-funded one year postgraduate diploma program in Peace and Development Studies, it has been designed for mid-career professionals working in different sectors of peace and development in Asia or Asian communities.

Reflecting our commitment to nurturing leaders who understand and act with integrity, the center will contribute not only to regional peacebuilding in Asia but to a stronger global framework for shared responsibility. It will welcome up to 40 Rotary Peace Fellows each year.

Applications for Rotary’s one year postgraduate diploma program at SIU will be open from February 1st to May 15th, 2026. Visit rotary.org/peace-fellowships to learn more about Rotary Peace Fellowship programs and how to apply.
