Gandhi Smaraka Nidhi Plans Statues in Vizianagaram Schools

Gandhi’s teachings will continue to inspire all generations

The Gandhi Smaraka Nidhi-Vizianagaram City association is planning to establish statues of Mahatma Gandhi in selected schools. Association president Karrothu Satyam said its delegation would meet senior officials to obtain permission for setting up the statues in educational institutions. He said the initiative would help students receive inspiration every day.

Leaders recall Gandhi’s ideals

Rotary International District Governor M. Venkateswara Rao and Karrothu Satyam said Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings would continue to inspire all generations. They said adopting Gandhi’s ideals in daily life would help people move on the right path.

They made the remarks on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary. The two leaders also honoured a few freedom fighters and recalled their contribution to the nation.

Students urged to read Gandhi’s works

Satyam asked students to read Hind Swaraj, My experiments with Truth and other books written by Gandhi. He said Gandhi had achieved freedom by using non-violence as a weapon.

The proposed statues are part of the association’s effort to provide students with a source of inspiration in schools. The delegation’s planned meeting with senior officials will be aimed at securing permission for the proposal in educational institutions.
