"On 1st January every year we  celebrate the “United Minds For Peace Day” in which we  dedicate ourselves completely to peace and pay homage to all those lives who have lost their worldly fight due

to some un-peaceful  activities like wars and unrest. At 12 o’ clock  in the afternoon

we stop all our daily activities and devote ourselves to peace.

Written slogans and banners of Peace are released in the website and other

places wherever possible.

International poetry and article writing contests are held .

The yearly UMFPS journal is published and distributed among all members.

We  celebrate the day with many other noble works like distribution of

things of daily requirements to the poor and start literacy campaigns.

All the yearly activities are summarized in this day and the day is

celebrated with a get-together in respective countries and institutions where UMFPS

has its roots."
