IGNOU Post Graduate Diploma in Gandhi and Peace Studies is an option that's unique for graduates looking to apply Gandhi's concepts to the world today. The one-year Postgraduate Diploma in Open and Distance Learning bridges history and ethics with politics, peace studies, and sustainability.
Today, we see that many students are asking the bigger question: How can we manage conflict without violence? How do we combine development and justice in a way that is sustainable? How can Gandhian thinking be adapted to the 21st century? The program is designed for people who want to learn more about Gandhian ideas. It connects Gandhian ideas with contemporary issues, such as environmental crises, social change, community involvement, and policy discussions.
Our goal is to make these details as clear and useful as possible. We aim to help students understand the value of this diploma, the type of work that it prepares them for, and ways they can apply it in their academic or professional life. As always, we'll guide you through every step of the process, from 0 - 100, so you never get lost.
A postgraduate diploma is more than just a certificate. It is important to choose a path. This program is perfect if your interests include themes such as conflict resolution, peace building, and social justice.
