Champaran Ashram

Champaran Ashram, founded by Mahatma Gandhi in 1917, is located in the Champaran district of Bihar, India. It was established during Gandhi's campaign against the oppressive Indigo plantation system, where farmers were forced to grow indigo instead of food crops. The ashram served as a base for his nonviolent resistance movement, promoting civil rights and agricultural reform. It became a cornerstone for future struggles for independence, emphasizing self-reliance and community cooperation. Today, it stands as a symbol of Gandhi's legacy and the fight for social justice in India.
