Genocide is the crime of crimes but the awareness of this crime is at its lowest ebb in our country. This lack of awareness inhibits the use of the word \u201cGenocide\u201d even in the situations where it should be applied. The Post Graduate Diploma in genocide studies is aimed at creating this awareness.

They are released into society with an opinion on the genocide crime. Their role is not only to educate the public, but also to be vigilant regarding communities and individuals who may exhibit the indicators of potential perpetrators. In addition, the students must make it plain to the communities in which they reside that genocides can only be ended when the offenders are punished through an appropriate legal process. Counter-genocide has never been a viable solution. It just serves to promote genocide.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"story-item\"><h4><b>Sunanda Vashisht<\/b>, Chairperson \/ Chief Academic Council<\/h4><p>Nelson Mandela famously said \u2018Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world\u2019. Jonaraja Institute of Genocide &amp; Atrocities Studies (JIGS) is a first ever institution in India that aims to provide a broad curriculum and rigorous study of genocides that have not yet received the attention of global community. The capacity of one powerful community to subjugate, oppress and persecute another community exists in every society and in every culture. However, there is a significant bias towards not acknowledging genocides that have happened in eastern societies.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"story-item\"><h4><b>Arti Agarwal<\/b>, V.P. (Academic Council)<\/h4><p>Genocide studies are an important component of humanities and social sciences, and as more and more communities see conflict, ethnic cleansing and genocide, it becomes important to create scholarship which can study, document and advocate for the human rights of marginalized and persecuted communities. This course on Genocide Studies fills this important gap in Indian academics, though learners from around the world are welcome to join the course. We hope to use this platform to educate, inform, and lead thinkers, writers, journalists and scholars who can use this knowledge to shape a better future for everyone<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1489664330369{padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"section promohalf type-1\"><div class=\"row-table\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><h3>Become a volunteer<\/h3><p>We are actively looking for volunteers who would want to be engaged in operational activities of the institute.<\/p><p><a class=\"btn round secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/jonaraja.com\/?page_id=592\">JOIN US<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6\"><h3>Become a sponsor<\/h3><p>Interested in supporting the institute.
