Mr Naidu said extremism, terrorism, communalism, violence against women and numerous other forms of violent behaviour need a concerted approach.
He said, community education, inter-faith understanding and evolution of societal norms that encourage harmony and zero tolerance towards violence of all kinds can provide the foundation for a secure society.
The Vice President said, education for peace and learning to live together is the need of the hour. He said, education with values of empathy, compassion, tolerance and goodness embedded in the curriculum can prevent conflict and irrational violence.
