The Association of Hungarian Librarians recently held this year’s roaming conference, at which the "Young Librarian of the Year" award was presented. The Kovács Máté Foundation’s special prize was awarded to Renáta Farkas, an employee of the University Library and Archives of Széchenyi István University.

Mahatma Gandhi and his principles have great relevance in today’s challenging times when the  world is facing some of the most unpredictable times. His ideals and way of life have been  unquestionably accepted and practised all over the world. Truth and non-violence are ageless and  timeless concepts that have been the foundational values of many quiet and peaceful revolutions  of the world and will continue to do so for the times to come.

It is well known that there is a growing interest worldwide in Mahatma Gandhi and his theory and  practice of peace, nonviolence, and interfaith harmony. People are trying to understand Gandhian  Philosophy to equip themselves. Many of them have expressed their desire to get in-depth  knowledge and training in Gandhian thoughts which would expose them not only to the life, philosophy, and method of Gandhi but also to Indian social life and culture.
