Dr.S.Kulandaisamy, Secretary, Gandhi Peace Foundation, Chennai is an Engineer by profession. He has specialised in Gandhian thought and follows a mission to touch young minds and initiate them into Gandhian thought and culture through Peace Education. He believes in resolving conflicts through micro actions for peace.
As I read one of his write ups last year in The Hindu, Young World, I too had a personal feeling that non violence is on the hike among students and inclusion of Peace Education into the course module would definitely help mould our kids in a better manner.
Later I came to know that 51 modules on Gandhian values was published by him, with stories, quiz, quotes, anecdotes and illustrations. Further I understood that these are compiled and published as books and distributed among interested students. The simple material, well presented and suitable for students for various levels in an appropriate manner is definitely a choice to be utilised by the citizens of tomorrow.
The Gandhi Peace Foundation, Chennai, conducts various certificate courses for students from Class IV. The modules are different for each standard. Attempting them would definitely influence one on the long run and thus are lessons that lasts a lifetime.
There are similar courses for college students, teachers, parents and women.
Gandhi Peace Foundation, Chennai offers these books to each student at a rate of Rs.200.Lessons are presented in such a way that they instill into young minds values in a very subtle way. There is a questionnaire at the end of the material which students can attend and score to avail a certificate. Toppers join together at the Foundation on Gandhi Jayanti day to share their experiences and ideas in a creative manner. It helps to build a network of like minded people.
Students can attempt these modules anytime of their choice and from the comfort of their home also.
The Foundation also conducts workshops to facilitate Inter religious understanding and Peace Education in schools.
