Gandhi Peace Prize 2000
The Gandhi Peace Prize is an annual award instituted by the Government of India to recognize and honor the contribution of individuals and organizations towards social, economic, and political transformation through non-violence and other Gandhian methods.
The Gandhi Peace Prize for the year 2000 was awarded to the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh and its founder, Muhammad Yunus. However, due to some controversies, the award was later withdrawn, and the Government of India decided to confer the prize jointly to two individuals.
Winner of Gandhi Peace Prize 2000
The joint winners of the Gandhi Peace Prize for the year 2000 were:
- Nelson Mandela: He was the former President of South Africa and a renowned anti-apartheid revolutionary. Mandela had spent 27 years in prison for his political activism and was released in 1990. He became the President of South Africa in 1994 and played a crucial role in dismantling the apartheid system and promoting reconciliation among different racial groups in the country.
- Grameen Bank: It is a microfinance organization founded by Muhammad Yunus in Bangladesh in 1983. The bank aimed to provide credit to poor people, especially women, who were not eligible for traditional bank loans. The bank's innovative approach to poverty alleviation through microfinance has been replicated in many countries worldwide and has earned Yunus the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.
Significance of the Award
The joint award of the Gandhi Peace Prize to Nelson Mandela and Grameen Bank was a recognition of their contribution to the promotion of peace, justice, and equality through non-violent means. Both Mandela and Yunus had embraced the principles of Mahatma Gandhi and applied them to their respective struggles against apartheid and poverty. The award also highlighted India's commitment to the ideals of non-violence and social justice, as espoused by Gandhi.
