Odisha, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam are the few areas where religion based communal tensions tend to occur at any time. In spite of the constitutional safeguards and the plethora of laws in India, violence against religious minorities continues to increase at an alarming level. Community tensions or conflicts triggered by external forces can jeopardize all developmental efforts. In this regard “Local Capacities for Peace” or “Do No Harm” approach framework is a comprehensive tool to take up situational analysis of the context of issues and find out options for alternative interventions in the project area. It also strengthens the Planning Monitoring and Evaluation systems to address issues of rising issues during program management.
