Details

The IGINP is headquartered in the Center for Experiencing Social and Cultural Interactions (CESCI) Center in Majagram. Over the past ten years, the IGINP has produced the quarterly journal Ahimsa under the editorial direction of the senior Gandhian scholar, Dr. Jaypragasam. In addition, the IGINP has set up a year-long correspondence diploma course on Gandhian concepts and nonviolence practices. Besides publishing Ahimsa and offering a diploma course, the IGINP also hosts weekend training sessions for youth interested in learning the principles of nonviolence.

The IGINP has remained pivotal in the coordination of various peace and nonviolence programs since its founding. One such campaign currently in the works is the Jai Jagat 2020 campaign. Over four years, this campaign seeks to reach the following goals:
(i) large-scale generational awareness about nonviolence and peace
(ii) training and mobilization of youth in the principles and practices of nonviolence
(iii) successful national and global advocacy for nonviolence and peace

Besides formal campaigns, the IGINP conducts training and education on nonviolence and peace in both formal and non-formal settings. To promote nonviolence and peace, the IGINP acts as a resource hub involved in the production of communication material, research, networking, information collection and social media. An area of extra significance to the IGINP is resolving conflicts and violence emerging out of marginalization affecting women, Adivasi and outcaste communities. Finally, the IGINP seeks to promote the global realization of nonviolent economics and governance.
