NEW DELHI, MARCH 7. To propagate the ideals of non-violence epitomised by Lord Mahavira and Mahatma Gandhi, three organisations today announced annual awards to be presented to nearly 400 individuals and organisations for promotion of peace and social harmony. The "Mahavira-Mahatma Awards", instituted by the Times Foundation, All India Anti-Terrorist Front (AIATF) and Bharatiya Jain Sangathan (BJS), will be presented next month at international, national, State and district levels. ``We want to bring recognition for those who work steadfastly for promotion of harmony in society and can serve as role models for others. The emphasis will be on honouring youth and women,'' Indu Jain, Chairperson of the Times of India Group and Times Foundation, told reporters here. The AIATF chairman M.S. Bitta said ``anyone who has worked for peace and harmony through his chosen field may be nominated for the awards, irrespective of whether he is an actor, a businessman, a spiritual leader or a social worker''. The last date for receiving nominations is March 20, he added. -- PTI.
