Mahatma Gandhi Was A Multifaceted Person: India Pres

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to hold a brainstorming session with chief ministers of all states to finalise ideas for the programmes to be held to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Modi, in a letter to chief ministers, has stated that the government would be organising various programmes in the current year to mark the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

“The 150th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation will be celebrated in 2019. We shall use the preceding year i.e. is 2018, to rededicate ourselves, through our actions, to the ideals that the Mahatma Gandhi taught and lived by. We also aim to bring the Mahatma’s message alive for the generations across the world that have not the privilege of living during his lifetime,” Modi wrote in a letter to chief ministers, a copy of which is with The New Indian Express.
