Governor opens exhibition on Mahatma Gandhi

G.R. Bus Terminus, Koyembedu. Speaking at the occasion, Governor Purohit said that the aim of the exhibition is to create awareness and disseminate details about the life and message of Mahatma Gandhi. “There are so many facets of his contribution to the nation which need elaboration. For Gandhiji, truth was God and his prayer meetings were meant to bring out the inner strength in an individual. To him the spinning wheel stood for dignity and freedom from the rule of merchandise,” he said. Governor said that Tamil Nadu was always close to Gandhiji’s heart. 

“It is important to recall that when Gandhiji started the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, in which there were initially 25 inmates, 13 of them were Tamilians,” he said. Concluding his speech by expressing my best wishes and greetings to the Regional Outreach Bureau – Chennai and congratulating them for the excellent display of exhibits for the benefit of the public, Governor said that Gandhiji’s life and message will be remembered and will serve as a guide for millions of people for several thousands of years in the future.
