India Peace Centre as an Inter-religious Centre for Justice and Peace initiatives was founded by Dr. Mathai Zachariah (1945-2012), former General Secretary of the national Council of Churches in India, on the belief that the chances of Peace as an experience of life can be enhanced by promoting the culture of dialogue and mutuality with a spirit of ever widening understanding.

Driven by this conviction and the Centre strives to engender among the people understanding and appreciation of diversity, to catalyse peace with justice, development with dignity for all; and to harmonize human attitude with the ethics of nature. Apart from the regular peace and conflict training the Centre organizes series of discussions on a number of vital national issues, such as harmony between communities, equitable economic justice, dealing with civil strife, Dalit issues, climatic change, globalization and culture, nuclear peace and symbiotic living.

Initiated by the national Council of Churches in India and supported by the National Council of YMCAs in India, the YWCA of India, Gandhi Peace Foundation and Catholic Bishops Conference of India, the centre has been dedicated to the cause of Peace and Justice among the people in India.
