SMGC Ignite
SMGC is committed to training individuals, groups, and organizations to lead with compassion. Through a range of targeted training programs, we prepare tomorrow’s leaders to create lasting, positive change in their communities and beyond.
Satyarthi Summer School
The world is grappling with many complex challenges. It is clear that we need a new path—one that leads to justice, equality, peace, and sustainability. Our Founder and Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi believes in the urgent need to globalise Compassion. He defines Compassion as not a soft emotion but a powerful force for transformation.
That is why we are bringing back Satyarthi Summer School (SSS). Held in New Delhi and Jaipur from 22 June to 12 July 2026, the programme will bring together 25 exceptional young leaders from around the world for an intensive learning experience featuring workshops, field immersions, systems thinking, storytelling, and direct engagement with Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi and other global thought leaders.
The world needs Compassionate Leaders, people like you who believe in doing their bit to create a better world, for everyone. You believe in change. We believe in you.

The Satyarthi Fellowship
As the world faces rising conflict, climate crisis, polarisation, and inequality, there is an urgent need for a new kind of leadership. One that places Compassion at the centre of decision-making and systems change – to achieve Justice, Equality, Peace and Sustainability for all.
Grounded in the vision of our Founder and Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, The Satyarthi Fellowship brings together 25 exceptional changemakers aged 23–40 for a year. Through immersive training, mentorship, action projects and real-world problem-solving, they will drive systemic change across disciplines such as business, law, technology, healthcare, politics, education, and faith.
Compassionate Leadership Training
We deliver both short and long-term experiential training to embed Compassion as a core decision-making principle based on Kailash Satyarthi’s philosophy of Compassion. Our goal is to shape how leaders and practitioners think and act – across government, law and judiciary, education, healthcare, and the corporate world.
In August 2025, we launched the first of many Compassionate Leadership Training programs for the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). Through participatory sessions, we are enhancing the officers’ endeavor towards ethical public service to improve the lives of beneficiaries.
In July 2025, we launched our first-ever university course on Compassionate Leadership at Jigme Singye Wangchuck School of Law (JSW Law), Bhutan. The course is training the next cadre of lawyers and judges to embed Compassionate Action, a core problem-solving principle in their legal practice by integrating practical tools with grassroots community work.
We are collaborating with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to design a national teacher training module on ‘Globalising Compassion through Education’, which will impact up to 6 crore students and 24 lakh teachers across India. To kickstart this exciting journey, our team recently participated in a workshop on NCERT’s NISHTHA training modules.
Satyarthi Compassion Quotient
The Satyarthi Compassion Quotient (SCQ) offers a new framework – a measurable way to evaluate and increase compassion in individuals, institutions, and societies.
Built on decades of grassroots experience and interdisciplinary research, we provide a robust, scalable tool that informs leadership development, institutional training, and organisational culture-building, establishing Compassion as the foundational principle across both public and private sectors.
A high Compassion Quotient drives real, sustainable, and systemic solutions.

Compassionate Leadership Academy
We have partnered with UNESCO and Harvard to bring together educators, policymakers, and thought leaders with a commitment to nurturing Compassionate Leadership, through fostering intercultural and interfaith dialogue. By fostering intercultural and interfaith dialogue, this initiative promotes solidarity, peaceful coexistence, and inclusive development. Key outcomes from our partnership will include a Global Compassion Dashboard to track impact, a Framework for Compassion and Dialogue for leaders and educators, and the launch of the Compassionate Leadership Academy to train changemakers driving systemic transformation.

The Satyarthi Fellowship
The Satyarthi Fellowship is a one-year, transformative leadership program that will empower changemakers to lead with Compassion and courage. We have a simple yet powerful belief: bringing together the brightest, most driven young people from across disciplines, continents, sectors, and lived experiences will catalyse the globalisation of Compassionate Action. Through immersive training, mentorship, and real-world problem-solving, fellows will work at the intersection of social justice, policy, and community action to drive systemic change.
Fellows will also design and implement high-impact Compassionate Action Projects around the world, working alongside grassroots communities, international institutions, and world leaders. By uniting talent from across the Global South and North, we aim to create a new generation of global leaders who can deliver practical, scalable, and lasting solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
Compassion Research and Satyarthi Scholars
We aim to build a robust repository of research projects, across think tanks and premier educational institutions to generate evidence-based, actionable insights for real-world application. We will make this research widely accessible through practical outputs: reports, toolkits, articles, and audio-visual content designed for advocacy and implementation.
At the heart of this initiative is the programme, Satyarthi Scholars which will support pioneering researchers across disciplines, who are advancing the frontiers of Compassion through academic inquiry and applied research. Through dedicated funding and mentorship, this programme will nurture underrepresented voices and issues, and ensure that scientific inquiry remains inclusive and socially relevant.
