The visit was split into two groups, consisting of 50 and 35 officer trainees, respectively.

The trainees were given a guided tour of the Ashram’s heritage buildings, providing them with insights into the ashram's history and its ongoing activities. The visit was organized by the Planning & Research Division of NADT Nagpur, under the guidance of Ms. Jaya Lakhwani, Deputy Director (P&R)-1, and was facilitated by the Sri Jamnalal Bajaj Memorial Library and Research Centre for Gandhian Studies at the Sevagram Ashram Pratishthan.

During the visit, the probationers toured the Library and Research Centre, where they attended an interactive session and a presentation in the seminar hall. Dr. Siby K. Joseph, Director of the Centre, addressed the trainees, helping them gain a deeper understanding of the historical significance of Mahatma Gandhi’s Sevagram Ashram.

Gandhi-Kumarappa Online Study Programme May 26 to June 24 2025 ഗാന്ധി-കുമാരപ്പ ഓൺലൈൻപഠന പരിപാടി Introduction   Numerous economic theories have emerged globally, and they were shaped by thinkers like Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Keynes, Milton Friedman, David Ricardo, Marshall, and Amartya Sen. However, J.C. Kumarappa stands out with his unique economic vision rooted in Gandhian thought. He pioneered a scientific, pro-poor, and sustainable economic philosophy. Unfortunately, independent India hasn't fully utilized his economic ideas. In today's context, corporate dominance has exacerbated economic inequalities worldwide.

Shri Vijay Tambe addressing National Atheist Conference at Sevagram  Reflections on Atheism  Vijay Tambe  "All of you, Jay Jagat. I am the secretary of Sevagram Ashram, this is a fact, but still, I have been given the opportunity to speak here as a representative of the Ashram. I will not advocate for the Ashram, I will express my own thoughts. I have 15 minutes, so I will present seven points to you. 1. First point: By choosing Gandhi's Sevagram campus for this program, you have acknowledged that it is not necessary to be an atheist to advocate for the rights of the oppressed, to fight for the rights of minorities, and to demand overall equality. 2.
