In fact, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs General V.K. Singh has assured us all support through Indian Embassies when and where required. Further, they will assist World Peace Rally Members in holding interactive sessions with people who care for World Peace at the micro & macro level.  (all at the locations where Indian Embassies are located)

 When the Trustees presented the concept of spreading World Peace through a Rally to Honourable Governor Shri. O.P.Kohli , he was very  pleased  & kindly agreed to flag off  the rally on 1st July 2019 at 9.00 am from Gandhi  Ashram premises, where the Father of our Nation & the Global Peace crusader, the great Mahatma Gandhiji  had made his home (1917-1930) which served as one of the main centres of Indian Freedom Struggle.

However, the organizers of WORLD PEACE RALLY 2019 felt the need to undertake  a DRY RUN  on 25^thMay 2019 from the very Gandhi Ashram at 8.00 am till Udaipur& return on 26^th May by road in brand new Hyundai Tucson SUVs,  to familiarise all the 30+ Rally Members with the rules and regulations of a long, enduring road rally which they will be undertaking  from 1st July – 17th August 2019 , covering a distance of 17,000 km / 15 Countries / 105 major Cities.
