What
this means
We are setting up a non-profit think-tank in Chennai that will
work in areas relating to peace, justice and security.
We are organizing this work into four Initiatives, launched in
the following sequence:
- Politics,
Security and Women in South Asia Initiative (PSW)
- Education
for Peace Initiative (EPI)
- Regions
Initiative
- South
Asian Security Initiative
At the heart of each Initiative is a cornerstone project which
will define its agenda and give it a sustaining core.
The Initiatives may draw on each other and in the case of some
projects, there may be a natural overlap.
