Description

About Us

The M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence was founded in 1991 by the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Arun Gandhi, and his wife, Sunanda. The Gandhis provided seed money for the Institute through the sale of Gandhiji’s letters to his son and daughter-in-law (Arun’s parents), Manilal and Sushila. Sustaining funds come from contributions, publications, program fees, and grants. The Institute is hosted by Christian Brothers University, which graciously provides an office for our work on nonviolence.

Many of the Institute’s educational programs are aimed at conflict prevention, anger management, diversity training, and relationship- and community-building. Currently, our programs include the Alternative Spring Break, the interactive nonviolence and diversity-training workshop Faces In The Crowd, the annual Behind the Prison Walls prisoner essay contest, the international Season for Nonviolence grassroots community-building campaign, the Circle of Friends monthly public discussion forums, and others.

Arun and Sunanda Gandhi travel almost year-round all over the world speaking and teaching about nonviolence and promoting the work of the Gandhi Institute. In the winter, they host a two-week tour of “Gandhi’s India” that starts in Bombay, and travels to other cities and rural areas to observe Gandhian constructive community action projects in contemporary India.
