Hemchand Yadav University of Durg district has awarded him the degree of Doctor today on completion of his research work on a subject related to the peace efforts of the United Nations. He completed his research work under the guidance of Director Dr. Sunita Mishra, Head of Department of Political Science, Government Naveen College Bhilai and Assistant-Director Dr. Pramod Yadav, Head of Department of Political Science, Seth RCS Arts and Commerce College, Durg. The topic of his research was “United Nations Peacebuilding Commission: Assessing its Role and Functions” (Critique of the role and functions of peace-building efforts of the United Nations). He has found that to make peace permanent in the violence-ridden nations of the world after the Cold War, there is a need to move beyond the peace-keeping and peace-establishment efforts of the United Nations and emphasize on peace-building or strengthening (peace building) work. In this century, the peace-building missions being carried out under the supervision of the UN Peacebuilding Commission of the United Nations have greatly strengthened peace efforts in the world.

This thesis of Singh is based on the peace efforts of the United Nations, especially peace-building. This will help in increasing the understanding of peace efforts which is a new area. It is worth mentioning that India is firmly committed to assisting the United Nations in maintaining international peace and security and is the third largest contributor in the world to peacekeeping forces working in various countries.

This research paper of Shri Singh will prove to be very useful for foreign policy policy makers, practitioners and students.
