Centre for Peace Studies (CPS), established in 1993 in New Delhi, was conceived as a platform for scholarship, dialogue, and action in the pursuit of peace and reconciliation. With branches in India and abroad, CPS has evolved into a truly international institution, guided by an Advisory Board of eminent academics, policy makers, diplomats, administrators, journalists, and Vice Chancellors. Its governing body and International Research Advisory Council ensure that the Centre remains firmly rooted in both scholarly rigour and practical engagement with global challenges.

CPS mission is to foster a culture of peace through research, education, and dialogue. It seeks to understand the origins and dynamics of social conflicts, to conceptualise frameworks for conflict resolution, and to develop strategies that emphasise non-violent methods of restructuring prevailing systems. By organising conferences, seminars, and interactive debates, and disseminating its findings through publications, CPS aims to build a community of scholars, experts, and activists committed to constructive discourse on peace, reconciliation, and human rights.

The Centre’s objectives encompass a wide range of pressing global concerns: the study of social conflicts and their linkages with governance and development; the promotion of human rights awareness; the role of religion as an instrument of peace; the protection of women and children in conflict situations; displacement, forced migration, and refugee issues; peace through disarmament and international law; the impact of global economic transformations on social tensions; and the role of media, environment, and governance in shaping conflict. CPS also emphasises education as a cornerstone for building civil society and addressing the challenges posed by armed conflicts and their effects on both state and society.
