Key Takeaways

+ +
+
    +
  • Rainfall in Southwestern India is becoming more irregular and intense, increasing risks to + agriculture, urban infrastructure, and water security.
    • +
  • While climate science offers tools to predict these changing patterns, uncertainty makes + adaptive and resilient planning essential.
    • +
  • The discussions stressed that unplanned urbanisation and the neglect of natural water systems + worsen the impact of changing rains.
    • +
  • Emphasized the need for sustainable urban planning, community-based water conservation, and + interdisciplinary collaboration to effectively respond to climate change.

Summary of the Activity

- The panel discussion titled “Not Less, Different” was hosted by the Centre for Peace Praxis at CHRIST (Deemed to be University) on 25 July 2025.

Highlights of the Activity

- The panel discussion brought together voices that don’t often share the same stage—an academic, a journalist, and a student—each offering unique yet intersecting perspectives on disability. Mrs. Priti Salian spoke about how the media has the power to shape public attitudes and narratives, but often misses the mark when it comes to nuanced coverage of disability. She emphasized that storytelling, when done right, can build empathy instead of pity. + The panel discussion brought together voices that don’t often share the same stage—an academic, a + journalist, and a student—each offering unique yet intersecting perspectives on disability.

- Dr. Abilash Chandran provided insights into how higher education institutions must go beyond tokenism. He pointed out that inclusion should be embedded in policy, pedagogy, and campus culture—not limited to infrastructure alone. His observations sparked conversation about the silent struggles that are overlooked in academic spaces. + Dr. Abilash Chandran provided insights into how higher education institutions must go beyond tokenism. + He pointed out that inclusion should be embedded in policy, pedagogy, and campus culture—not limited to + infrastructure alone.

- Abhishek Chetty, a student panelist from the 3rd year of the BA Economics and Sociology program, spoke candidly about his lived experiences. He reflected on navigating campus life as a differently abled individual—not as a victim, but as someone who is constantly negotiating agency and acceptance in a system not designed with him in mind. His words resonated deeply with the audience and brought authenticity to the theme: “Not Less, Different.” + Abhishek Chetty, a student panelist from the 3rd year of the BA Economics and Sociology program, spoke + candidly about his lived experiences.

Key Takeaways

- +

- The panel discussion emphasized that disability is not a limitation but a difference that society must recognize with dignity and respect. A central takeaway was the importance of shifting language from terms that marginalize to expressions that empower—moving away from outdated labels and embracing inclusive terminology like “differently abled.” The session also highlighted how lived experiences offer powerful insights that challenge stereotypes; Abhishek Chetty’s reflections made it evident that accessibility is not just about ramps and elevators, but about attitude, awareness, and agency. The role of the media, as discussed by Mrs. Priti Salian, was seen as crucial in transforming public perception—portraying persons with disabilities not as subjects of sympathy but as individuals with autonomy and value. Dr. Abilash Chandran’s academic lens brought attention to institutional responsibilities, urging universities to create inclusive learning spaces that support students both structurally and socially. Ultimately, the discussion inspired participants to become allies in action—committed to listening, learning, and making inclusion a lived reality in every sphere of life. + The panel discussion emphasized that disability is not a limitation but a difference that society must + recognize with dignity and respect.

Director’s Note

The Hard Road to Peace: Necessary and Possible

- +
Dr. Padmakumar MM -

Peace is rarely accidental—it is most often hard-earned. While it may appear quiet or effortless from a distance, peace is the result of conscious choices made in moments of uncertainty, conflict, and moral testing. In contrast, it is far easier to bypass life’s deeper complexities: to seek unfair advantage, surrender to impulsive emotions, assert dominance over dialogue, neglect ethical reflection, and gradually normalize cultures of exclusion and violence.

- -

Violence, in many forms, is reactive and instinctive. It thrives on fear, anger, and unresolved pain. Peace, however, is deliberate. It demands intention, courage, and sustained commitment. It requires the ability to listen deeply—especially to voices that challenge us—engage in difficult conversations without retreating into hostility, and confront wounds that demand healing rather than denial. Peacebuilding is not passive; it is an active process of creating just, inclusive, and resilient systems. Above all, it requires the audacity to hope for a shared future rooted in dignity, even in the face of adversity.

- -

The Centre for Peace Praxis at CHRIST University is grounded in the belief that peace is not merely an emotion, a slogan, or an abstract ideal. Peace is a skill to be learned, a practice to be cultivated, and a culture to be consciously nurtured. Good intentions alone are insufficient. Peacebuilding calls for critical knowledge, practical tools, ethical clarity, and wisdom drawn from lived experiences and global practices committed to collective well-being.

+

The Centre’s work is anchored in four interrelated pillars:

- +
    -
  • Intercultural Dialogue, which fosters mutual understanding across differences;
    • -
  • Psycho-social Well-being, which recognizes healing and mental resilience as foundations of peace;
    • -
  • Media Literacy, which equips individuals to engage critically with information and resist manipulation; and
    • -
  • Eco-consciousness, which affirms that peace with one another is inseparable from peace with the planet.

- -

Through capacity-building initiatives, research, and sustained community engagement, the Centre seeks to embed peace within both personal and public spheres—transforming attitudes, practices, and institutions alike.

- -

Peace cannot be pursued in isolation. It flourishes when constructive forces converge. The Centre therefore actively collaborates with a wide network of stakeholders, including educational institutions, civil society organizations, government bodies, policymakers, media and creative communities, the private sector, and international development partners. Together, we strive to co-create pathways toward a future grounded in empathy, equity, responsibility, and shared humanity.

- -

As peacebuilders, we are reminded that peace does not mean uniform agreement or the absence of disagreement. Rather, peace resembles a shared table—sometimes noisy, sometimes tense—where patience, humility, humor, and mutual respect prevent conflict from turning destructive. It is the courage to stay present, to keep the conversation alive, and to pass the bread even to those with whom we disagree. In that persistence lies the true work—and promise—of peace.
