In 2007, the United Nations passed a resolution to observe the International Day of Non-Violence On Gandhi Jayanti each year. This day is also celebrated as the birth anniversary of the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, who played a key role in the non-violent freedom movement of India.
International Day of Non-Violence is commemorated to promote the principles of non-violence through education and public awareness. This day highlights Gandhi’s timeless message of ‘Ahimsa’ and people and organisations to advocate for peaceful resolutions to conflict and to act on non-violent approaches in their lives and communities.
