The 40th Niwano Peace Prize was awarded to Mr. Rajagopal P. V. of India in recognition of his extraordinary work in the service of Justice and Peace.
His actions are in favor of the poorest and most marginalized of his country through peaceful and nonviolent methods for the recognition of the equal human dignity and equal rights. His accomplishments that garner the highest esteem include negotiating the surrender and facilitating the rehabilitation of gangs, the education of young people in the service of the poor, and, well aware that the primary needs of the poor are water, land, and forests, his commitment to care for the environment.
