PHAGWARA: Americans4Hindus (A4H), a national, independent and non-partisan political organization based in California, has announced the launch of Rajneeti Academy 2026, a nationwide political empowerment initiative designed to cultivate informed, ethical, and future-ready leaders for public life. The program marks a strategic shift from advocacy toward long-term capacity-building within the Hindu and pro-Hindu American community. 

The initiative is led by Dr. Romesh Japra, founder-president of Americans4Hindus and a U.S.-based cardiologist of international repute originally from Phagwara. Dr. Japra said the Academy reflects a commitment to strengthening democratic participation through education, leadership development, and constitutional values. “Sustainable representation comes from informed engagement and principled leadership, ” he noted. 

Rajneeti Academy 2026 will formally commence on January 11, 2026, and will be conducted online every Sunday from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST, enabling participation across the United States and globally. The structured weekly program will offer practical exposure to governance, public policy, political campaigns, and civic institutions through sessions led by experienced policymakers, campaign professionals, and public leaders. Interactive discussions, live Q&A, and national-level networking form a core part of the curriculum. 

A distinguishing feature of the Academy is its multi-tier certification framework, ranging from a Foundation Certificate in Civic and Political Leadership to Advanced and Leadership Excellence certifications for highly engaged participants. These credentials are intended to prepare individuals for meaningful roles in campaigns, civic organizations, and public service, while reinforcing ethical governance and pluralism.
