Gandhi Peace Centre Annual Report 2016-2017

All forms of organizations are contrived with a purpose to help

the society cope with specific problems it confronts. Gandhi

Peace Centre is dedicated to build the capacities of

underprivileged individuals, marginalized Civil Society

Organizations and other concerned stakeholders and to broaden

the base of principles & ideologies taught by Mahatma Gandhiji

through spreading the light of optimism; once ignited by Late

Shri. K. S. Radhakrishnaji.

One’s strength is not always measured by its visibility;

sometimes silence speaks volumes and peace signifies that

something magnificent is being penned down by great

visionaries at Gandhi Peace Centre before the onset of the real

enormous spring.

The secret of GPC’s achievements goes to augmentation of team

work of local leaders that highlighted the specific needs of the

targeted communities and each staff member that translated the

vision of its Governing Body & General Body.

I take this opportunity to thank all our distinguished Governing

Body Members for being the guiding force; standing by us always

and sending the message to “Never Give up!”

Gandhi Peace Centre (GPC) is a secular, apolitical and not for profit organization

which was established in 1979 by Late Shri. K.S. Radhakrishna who needs no

introduction to the development world. In its initial years, GPC worked as a forum of

social activists and young Gandhians who translated the ideologies and philosophy of

Gandhiji. Over its thirty years of existence, the organization has strived to penetrate

deep into the vulnerable communities through its value based, technology driven,

socially relevant, gender sensitive and pro-poor multifaceted interventions.

So far, the organization have built the capacities of over 100 organizations and

thousands of children and youths through its partnerships with various development

organizations; particularly; with EZE (now EED) Germany that helped GPC in carrying

out its mission from 1978 to 2003 with the assistance of a network of NGOs through a

tripartite agreement.
