Every society desires a leadership, which is dynamic, proactive, capable and above all
knowledgeable, so that it can most ably represent the society for its betterment. There are many young men and women who desire to assume leadership within the society, but do not know how to go about it. For eg:-

A dire need was felt for an academy that would impart the necessary knowledge and
empower these young aspirants with the wherewithal and the training to be dynamic leaders. This culminated in the founding of MIT School of Government in 2005. It has received a very warm and positive response from all sections of the society, including the political leadership, irrespective of political affiliations. MIT School of Government (MIT-SOG) was established with the active support of UNESCO Chair for Human Rights, Democracy and Peace, World Peace Centre, Alandi, Pune.
