Peace is the very existence and need of our life. We as a human being can maintain our existence and wellbeing by remaining peaceful. A slight disturbance in our peace may end in bitterness, aggression conflicts and war. This fact can now be very much witnessed and reflected in our modern society. We are everyday observing and experiencing the horrors of violence, aggression and suicides on the part of people belonging to almost every strata of society. Our societies are progressing towards violence, hatred, jealousy, social insecurity, and degradation of environment, corruption, extortions, violation of human rights, communal and ethnic violence as well as threats and wars. The world could be transformed and peace would rule if the basis of education is knowledge flourish by love and value for sustainable development. Education is the only means for empower and sustained improvement in all wellbeing.

In the words of Betty Reardon Peace Education would provide knowledge to be applicable to the problems of reforming and restructuring the present conflicting and violent human society to make it peaceful, unified and violence-free. Peace education aim to prevent a conflict in advance or rather to educate individuals and a society for a peaceful existence. Peace education is a remedial measure to protect children from falling into the ways of violence in society. It aims at the total development of the child. It tries to inculcate higher human and social values in the mind of the child. In essence, it attempts to develop a set of behavioral skills necessary for peaceful living and peace building from which the whole of humanity will benefit. This paper is an attempt to throw light on the obstacles leading to Peace Education and to develop a culture of peace by using Education as the powerful tool.
