Dr Jagdish Gandhi Awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Queen’s University Belfast
Dr Jagdish Gandhi, Founder of City Montessori School, was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Social Science Honoris Causa by Queen’s University Belfast, UK.
The citation of the Honorary Doctorate read, “Dr Gandhi is a world-renowned educationist and a true visionary in his field. He co-founded (with his wife Dr Bharti Gandhi) the City Montessori School (CMS) in Lucknow, India, in 1959. Sixty years later, the school has grown from 5 pupils to 55,000 and is recognised as the world’s largest school. Size, however, is not its distinguishing feature but rather the global citizenship focus, which underpins CMS’s educational ethos. Dr Gandhi has crafted meaningful initiatives to create a wider set of circumstances for peace and conflict prevention at a local, national and international level, including 28 international events aimed at inspiring world unity.”
Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, Chancellor of Queen’s University Belfast, conferred the degree on Dr Gandhi for his distinguished services to education. Dr Gandhi’s daughter Nita Gandhi Forouhi who is Professor of Medicine at the University of Cambridge, received the award on Dr Gandhi’s behalf as he could not attend the ceremony in person.

said: "The future peace, security and ordered
progress of the world demand a world federation of free
nations, and on no other basis can the problems of the
modern world be solved." |
Pt Jawaharlal Nehru,
the Prime Minister of India said:
“Either the world will unite or it will perish.” |
Dr. B R Ambedkar
said "Law and Order are
the medicine of the body politic and when the body
politic gets sick, medicine must be administered."
(Body Politic of the world has become sick it requires
the medicine of Law & Order.) |
Dr. S. Radhakrishnan,
President of India said:
“There will be one central authority to which the
instruments of coercion will be surrendered and a
fraction of the sovereignty of independent nation states
will have to be given up for the security of the whole
world...” |
|
U. Thant,
UN General Secretary said:
“A world under law is realistic and attainable.” |
Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia
a great socialist leader constituted, 'World
Development Council', a step towards creation of 'World
Government', with a view to establish peace in the whole
world. |
Bertrand Russell
said "Our
goal, I repeat, should be the creation of a world
government". |
Jan Tinbergen,
Nobel Laureate in Economics said:
“Mankind’s problems can no longer be solved by national
governments. What is needed is a world government”. He

|
Winston Churchill,

possible for us to avert the World War III.” |
John F. Kennedy,
President of USA said: “We
must create worldwide law and law enforcement agency, as
we outlaw worldwide war and weapons.” |
Dwight D. Eisenhower,
President of

“There must be law, steadily invoked and respected by
all nations, for without law, the world promises only
such meager justice as the pity of the strong upon the
weak.” |

President of USSR said:
“An awareness of the need for some kind of global
government is gaining ground, one in which all members
of the world community would take part.” |
