This is an annual award given to individuals and institutions for their contributions towards social, economic and political transformation through non-violence and other Gandhian methods.

Its features

The award carries ₹1 crore (US$140,000) in cash, convertible in any currency in the world, a plaque and a citation.

It is open to all persons regardless of nationality, race, creed or gender.

A jury consisting of the PM of India, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, the Chief Justice of India,

Speaker of the Lok Sabha and one other eminent person decides the awardees each year.

Ordinarily, only proposals coming from competent persons invited to nominate are considered.

However, a proposal is not taken as invalid for consideration by the jury merely on the ground of not having emanated from competent persons.
