7th Report (Capacity Building for Conflict Resolution)

Conflict is as much an internal process of the human mind when it evaluates the pros and cons of a decision. Some philosophers have attributed all progress to the continuous conflict and conflict resolution process. The absence of conflict may be an impossible condition to reach, and it may often mean brutal repression or callous indifference by one section vis-à-vis the rest. This is because the maturity of a society is thus measured not so much by the absence of conflict but by the ability of its institutions and procedures to resolve it. The more broad-based and impartial this mechanism, the less is the likelihood of discontent and disaffection stewing in it. Hence, the 2nd Administrative Reforms Commission, discussed Capacity Building for Conflict Resolution owing to its importance.
