All India Kayastha Mahasabha to host two-day event at Talkatora Stadium celebrating Kayastha heritage, unity, and future leadership
The All India Kayastha Mahasabha (Regd. 2150, New Delhi) and the Chitransh Chamber of Commerce & Industries (CCCI) announced today that the World Kayastha Conclave 2025 will take place at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi, on October 23 and 24, 2025.
Announcing the conclave, National Chairman Dr. Abhishek Verma said, “It will coincide with the auspicious occasion of Yam Dwitiya (Bhai Dooj), traditionally celebrated with the worship of Lord Chitragupta. The conclave will mark a historic opportunity for the Kayastha community to unite and demonstrate its strength.”
The Kayastha community traces its origins to Lord Chitragupta, revered as the celestial accountant of Yamraj, and has historically contributed to governance, administration, education, literature, and diplomacy—from ancient royal courts to modern bureaucracy and judiciary.
Dr. Verma called upon the estimated 12 crore Kayasthas in India, saying, “Come together, showcase solidarity, and emerge as a significant political and social force to help position India as a ‘Vishwa Guru’ (World Leader) by 2047, the centenary year of independence.”
The conclave will also pay tribute to eminent Kayasthas such as Swami Vivekananda, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Premchand, and Harivansh Rai Bachchan, and pay special tribute to Balasaheb Thackeray for his role in Indian politics.
Dr. Verma also announced the institution of the ‘Shrikant Verma Samman’ in memory of his father, the renowned poet and parliamentarian, the late Shrikant Verma. The award will be conferred annually, carrying ₹21 lakh for Hindi Literature—the highest award in Hindi literature—₹5 lakh for Journalism, and ₹2 lakh each for Art and Performing Arts.
Sharing details of the upcoming conclave, National President and Convener Manish Srivastava said, “The two-day event is expected to attract over 25,000 participants and will feature a National Talent Search Examination, a Matrimonial Meet, a Mega Job Fair, and Business and Political Workshops.” He also announced plans for the installation of an 111-foot statue of Swami Vivekananda and an 81-foot statue of Lord Chitragupta in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh.
“The World Kayastha Conclave 2025 is envisioned not only as a cultural celebration but also as the beginning of social unity, political awakening, and new leadership within the Kayastha community. With its historic association with knowledge and governance, the community is being called upon to rise as an organized force and contribute to India’s emergence as a global leader by 2047,” he added.
The announcement was made in the presence of Poet Vishnu Saxena (President, Literary Cell), National Working President Sunil Nigam, National General Secretary Manoj Srivastava, National Vice President Vivek Kulshrestha, National Executive Women cell President Nishi Kulshrestha, and other senior members of the organization.
