BENCH MARKING IN EDUCATION INCULCATION OF GANDHIANPHILOSOPHY IN 21ST CENTURY……

The name of Mahatma Gandhi transcends the bounds of race, religion and nation- states, and has emerged as the prophetic voice of the 21st century. He is remembered for his passionate adherence to the practice of non-violence and his supreme humanism. After the great Buddha and Jesus he once again demonstrated that non-violence could also be effective instruments of social change. A giant of a man with his frail body, his short dhoti, his walking stick, a khadi shawl over his bare shoulders and his round spectacles. A man whose footprints are found in every corner of this country, a man of the soil, a man who lives India its ethos, its culture, its fabric!Gandhi successfully demonstrated to a world, weary with wars and continuing destruction that adherence to Truth and Non-violence is not meant for individual behavior alone but can be applied in global affairs too. But the saddest part of today’s reality is that today’s generation either don’t know about Gandhi or are not provided enough opportunities to explore Gandhi and his ideologies. The school, the society, the polity, the community somehow does not take into cognizance about making the present generation familiar with the thoughts and ideals of Mahatma Gandhi. So a small little institute named Gandhi ShikshanBhavan in a quiet corner of Juhu, Mumbai is trying to making persistent effort to make the present generation understand the ideas and thought process of the Father of Nation by propagating it through not only words but by action. Gandhi envisioned an ideal society where justice is done “unto the last” and in which institution’s aim is to get the best out of man. We also are trying to promote the same.
