The day serves as an opportunity to spread the message of non-violence through education and public awareness. It emphasizes the need to promote a culture of peace, tolerance, and understanding among people from diverse backgrounds and beliefs. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007, the International Day of Non-Violence holds special significance for the people of India, as it honors the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

The observance of this day seeks to promote the principles of non-violence, resilience, and tolerance as essential tools for protecting human dignity, building sustainable and friendly communities, and addressing broader social, economic, and political challenges. In India, International Day of Non-Violence is observed with various events, seminars, and awareness programs that focus on the teachings and principles of Mahatma Gandhi. These events often involve discussions on the role of non-violence in resolving conflict, social and environmental causes, and fostering intercultural dialogue for building a harmonious society. Educational institutions play a vital role in disseminating the message of non-violence by organizing lectures, workshops, and exhibitions about Gandhi's life and works. International Day of Non-Violence occurs annually on the 2nd of October in India, coinciding with Gandhi's birthday. Facts about International Day of Non-Violence
