| About Gandhi Jayanti |
| Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi also known as 'Bapu' or 'Father of the nation’ was born on the 2nd of October in 1869, in Porbunder, Gujrat. On the 2nd of October, the President and Prime Minister, along with other eminent political leaders, pay homage at Raj Ghat the samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi. All the offices and schools, throughout the country, remain closed on Gandhi Jayanti. Gandhi is the person behind the Satyagraha Ashram in Ahmedabad and the Sabarmati Ashram, which became a platform for introducing long needed social reforms such as 'Harijan' welfare, small scale industries and self reliance and rehabilitation of lepers. The United Nations General Assembly announced on 15 June 2007 that it adopted a resolution which declared that October 2 will be celebrated as the International Day of Non-Violence. |
