Nagpur Transforms into the ‘Learnathon City’ as the World’s Only Marathon of Learning Begins

In a remarkable celebration of curiosity and community, Nagpur becomes the global epicenter of learning today as Learnathon 2025 unfolds — a one-of-a-kind event redefining how people learn, connect, and grow together.

Something extraordinary is taking place in the heart of Nagpur today — not a political rally, nor a sports finale, but a movement built on curiosity, collaboration, and connection. It’s Learnathon 2025, the world’s only marathon of learning, and it has officially turned Nagpur into the ‘Learnathon City.’

Stepping into the Chitnavis Centre, visitors are greeted with an atmosphere alive with energy — the enthusiasm of over 100 student volunteers, the expertise of 42 mentors, and the laughter of families, professionals, and students from every walk of life. Organized in association with The Times of India, Learnathon 2025 is not just an event; it’s a movement that redefines learning as joyful, inclusive, and timeless.

What makes this edition particularly special is the unified participation of Nagpur’s educational ecosystem — schools, junior colleges, coaching centers, and skill academies — all coming together to celebrate the shared spirit of learning. This collective effort symbolizes a powerful message: education is not limited to classrooms; it thrives in communities that learn together.

🌍 Workshops for a Changing World
The lineup of workshops mirrors the fast-evolving world we live in. From AI for Small Businesses and AI for Teachers to Coding a Robot in the Learning Lab, participants are exploring future-ready skills in hands-on, practical ways.

Yet, Learnathon also draws strength from India’s timeless wisdom. Sessions like Bhagavad Gita for Daily Life and Chanakya Niti for the Twenty-First Century bridge ancient knowledge with modern dilemmas — guiding participants through the ethics, emotions, and decisions that shape today’s world.

🧘 A Space to Reflect and Reconnect
Amid the rush of modern life, Learnathon offers a rare opportunity to slow down and focus on mental wellbeing. Workshops such as Dealing with Depression, Anxiety & Fear, Stress Management & the Art of Letting Go, and How to Detox & Feel Joyful Offline empower participants to reconnect with themselves.

Sessions like The Art of Happiness and How to Know Who is Right for You add a personal touch — addressing emotional intelligence and relationships with honesty and compassion. These are more than lessons; they are conversations that matter.

👨‍👩‍👧 A True Family Celebration
Learnathon stands out for its inclusive family design — where parents, children, and grandparents can each attend different workshops yet leave with shared joy and inspiration. It’s a festival of learning that transcends age, profession, and background.

💙 Learning with a Purpose
Beyond workshops and talks, Learnathon carries a strong social mission. Every pass sold funds scholarships and supports access to education for underprivileged learners. Teachers volunteer, students manage logistics, and mentors from various fields — including Toastmasters — contribute their expertise.

The result is a beautiful synergy of purpose and passion, proving that when a city learns together, it grows together.
