Gandhi Ashram (Bihar)

Gandhi Ashram, located in Bihar, India, was established by Mahatma Gandhi in 1917 as a center for social reform and the promotion of his principles of non-violence and self-sufficiency. It played a crucial role during India's struggle for independence, focusing on community service, education, and empowerment of the marginalized. The ashram emphasized simple living, spinning khadi (handwoven cloth), and fostering a sense of unity among diverse communities. Today, it serves as a historical site and a memorial, reflecting Gandhi's vision for a just society and promoting his teachings on peace and sustainability.
