President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali says Guyana’s rapid economic growth and infrastructure expansion must be matched by stronger investment in values, consciousness and national unity. Speaking at celebrations marking the 50th year of the Brahma Kumaris in Guyana, Ali urged that “true progress” is not measured only by physical development such as roads, bridges and buildings, but also by the character of citizens and the cultivation of inner peace.

The event, held under the theme “One Guyana, One Future: The Power of Conscious Leadership,” highlights the organisation’s long-running work promoting spiritual development, self-reflection and consciousness. Multiple outlets report that the anniversary is framed as a milestone for the group’s service in Guyana and includes recognition of its contribution to personal and community well-being.

Overall, the remarks connect national development with social and spiritual goals, with Ali calling for conscious leadership and unity as Guyana moves forward with major transformation. The celebrations also mark half a century of Brahma Kumaris’ activities in the country.
