The conference also aims at promoting the study and practice of nonviolence in every walk of life, initiate processes of introspection and rethinking of the very vision of life and living which were hitherto considered as modern and civil for the benefit of individuals and communities, networks working towards peaceful, nonviolent and just world order. The recent Covid Pandemic situation exposed the fragilities and hollowness of existing world order which compels humanity to revisit some of the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi, Lanza del Vasto and others and go beyond that to address the contemporary challenges.
