Carlos G. Vallés' Centennary
(Nov. 4, 1925 - Nov. 4 2025)

On 4 November we commemorated the 99th anniversary of the birth of Carlos G Vallés (in Anglo-Saxon culture, running 100 years old), the start of the countdown to the centenary of his birth. Since his death four years ago, the Foundation has carried out several actions aimed at the dissemination of his work, including the complete updating of the website with his historical content, as well as the posthumous publication of his two unpublished autobiographies, both in Spanish: ‘Cada copo de nieve cae en su sitio: una autobiobgrafía’ (Every snowflake falls in its place: an autobiography) and ‘Cambio luego existo: puntos de inflexión’ (Change therefore I am: turning points).

Over the next two years, several activities will be carried out to promote the person and his work:

- Presentation of his autobiographies in Cordoba, Spain, and at the Guadalajara book fair in Mexico in December 2025.

- Translation of the 2 autobiographies into Gujarati and English and their subsequent publication, presentation and dissemination.

- Publication of the 2nd Spanish edition of his award-winning biography ‘Gandhi, an alternative to violence’ with a new prologue.

- Joint seminar and tribute event with the Institute of Religions of the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain.

- Inauguration of a statue and a square named after him (Father Valles Square) in Ahmedabad, India (in process).

- Donation of his personal library to the Father Valles Library at St Xavier's College, Ahmedabad, India.

* Piano concert of the Scherzo Foundation dedicated to the figure of Carlos G Vallés in the Auditorio of Madrid, Spain (in process).

- And others within a chronogram that reflects and disseminates his work.
