The National Foundation for Communal Harmony (NFCH) has launched the programme Volunteers for Peace & Harmony (V for Peace-n-Harmony) to create a network of volunteers.
- Inspiration to set up a network of Volunteers emanated mainly from the Gandhian concept that played a significant role in creating the atmosphere of peace and harmony.
- The launch of V for Peace-n-Harmony in 2011 coincides with the 10th anniversary of international year of volunteers (IYV) being celebrated by the United Nations. This would provide a platform to volunteers and increase the outreach of the Foundation and to join the noble cause being pursued by NFCH since a number of people have approached the Foundation to work as volunteers.
- The objectives of the Programme are: to create a network of volunteers to act as facilitators / change agents for promoting social harmony, when peace and social cohesion between communities is disturbed as well as during peaceful times for inclusive development;
- to spread awareness on peace and harmony in their respective communities and neighborhoods;
- to strengthen the sense of unity in diversity amongst citizens of the country and to take active participation in the Communal Harmony Campaign Week from 19th-25th of November observed by NFCH every year in the country.
