By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On January 11, 2025, the High Commission of India to Belize donated a life-sized statue of Mahatma Gandhi to the University of Belize’s Belmopan campus.

The statue was presented to Prime Minister John Briceño, who received it on behalf of the University.

Gandhi was selected as the symbol for this donation due to his embodiment of peace, tolerance, and non-violence—values that Belize seeks to promote, particularly among students, who are essential to the nation’s future development and prosperity.

The ceremony concluded with the planting of a Ficus Religiosa tree, symbolizing the growth of an environment rooted in enlightenment and knowledge.
