Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2nd 1869 in Gujarat, then known as Porbandar, British India. Gandhi lived his life with acceptance and practice of truth, non-violence, vegetarianism, simplicity and faith in God and was a major political and spiritual leader within India. He was a pioneer of Satyagraha, which believed in resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon total non-violence. His honorific title of Mahatma, which means "high-souled" in Sanskrit, was first used in 1914 in South Africa Mahatma Gandhi’s contribution towards bringing peace and non- violence to this world is un parallel. His teachings must be promoted to resolve current conflicts, to avoid violence and to find peaceful solution to every small or big problem to make this world a better place to live in. Community and Social wellbeing - economic, social, environmental and cultural, often evolves from this type of collective action being taken at a grassroots level. Community development ranges from small initiatives within a small group, to large initiatives that involve the broader community.
