Peace Centre at Padma Kanya Campus By A Staff Reporter Kathmandu, Apr. 10: State Council Chairman Dr. Keshar Jung Rayamajhi opened the UNESCO Study and Peace Centre at Padma Kanya Campus today. The Centre, set up with the support of the National Federation of UNESCO Associations of Nepal and Peace Education Academy, promotes peace, non-violence, friendship, international understanding and human rights. "War invites death, whereas peace sustains life," Dr. Rayamajhi told at the inaugural ceremony. "We should all contribute to peace in the country and beyond." He hoped the Centre would help instil a love for peace in people. "The Centre will expand its network to other campuses and schools across the kingdom to realise its goals," the Centre Chairman Dambar Bir Thapa said. Thapa said the Centre–established as a reference centre with around 2,000 books – would be developed into Peace Studies Department in future. Other Stories
