>> Invitation of nominations for the "International Gandhi Award 2023"
Gandhi Memorial Leprosy Foundation, a pioneering organization established in 1951 in the field of leprosy in India, has instituted the award titled “International Gandhi Award” in 1986. The background for introducing the award and the relevant information is summarized below :
Mahatma Gandhi had evinced keen interest for over 50 years in mitigating the sufferings of persons affected by leprosy. The need to shed stigma against leprosy and adopt a humanitarian approach were amply demonstrated by the Father of Nation by nursing and caring leprosy patients. Leprosy work was accorded importance by Gandhiji by including it in his 18-point constructive programme. To perpetuate memory of this service and scientific approach of Gandhiji, the GMLF has instituted the "International Gandhi Award" in 1986.
