APNAH Endowment Lecture 2006

28 May 2006

The College for Leadership and HRD (CLHRD), Valencia, Mangalore, organised the APNAH Endowment Lecture 2006 at its premises in Mangalore on 28 May 2006 at 06.00 pm. Dr Xavier Alphonse, S.J., member, University Grants Commission and former Principal, Loyola College, Chennai, presented the lecture, titled ‘Developing Human Resource for Enhancing Competencies to Neutralise Individual and Collective Violence”. In his endowment lecture, Dr Alphonse cited instances of violence portrayed on TV, which have a negative impact on the psyche of children. We have become passive spectators to acts of violence around us and this has lead to insensitivity and carelessness, he regretted. Mahatma Gandhi classified violence as physical and passive violence. We need to guard against the passive violence that is inherent in all of us, he pointed out. Humanism and empathy are the only panacea to stem the vicious tide of violence that seems to engulf society he asserted. Promotion of healthy human relationships could also reduce violence in children, he opined.

Prof. M.I. Savadatti, former Vice-Chancellor of Mangalore University and Chairman of Academic Senate of CLHRD, presided over the programme.

The other dignitaries present were Prof. P.T. Manoharan, Former Vice-Chancellor, Madras University; Prof. K.V. Kodandaramaiah, Director of Collegiate Education, Karnataka; and Prof. M.D. Muthamma, former Director of Collegiate Education, Karnataka   

Arunabhas Bose, Vice-Principal of the college proposed the vote of thanks.

Almost eight professors, academicians, members of NGOs and Principals of colleges in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka attended the programme.

Association for Promotion of Non-violence And Humanism (APNAH) is a collective promoted by Aim Insights, the HRD group, the parent organisation of College for Leadership and Human Resource Development. Its objective is to intellectually influence groups, congregations and assemblies of people to eschew violence and to promote emotional intelligence to neutralise violence, more importantly, the small-scale everyday indulgence that is minor in units but major in impacts. APNAH organises as well as sponsors intellectual interventions by resourceful individuals or organisations, to promote humanism and learning Panetics, a study of human suffering with all its ramifications.

It has endowed CLHRD with an annual lecture by eminent scholars on themes that are associated with human endeavour to identify and develop human resource towards building a more humane and enlightened society, the slogan of all the institutions of Aim Insights, the HRD group.
