'Gandhi
for Tomorrow' theme park to come up at Sewagram
The Sewagram Ashram in
neighbouring Wardha district where Mahatma Gandhi stayed for six years after
the Dandi March (1936 to 1948), is all set to become a major tourist attraction
with a 'Gandhi for Tomorrow' theme park being developed there at an estimated cost of Rs. 62 crore.
The major attraction of is an international convention centre worth Rs. 95
crore, will be similar to the centres that have been set up in the name of
anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela and 16th president of America, Abraham
Lincoln. This will be an appropriate memorial when the place is celebrating 75
years of Gandhiji's stay in the area here, Wardha District Collector Nawin Sona
said.

Sevagram Ashram is one of the places of pilgrimage for those who want to have a first-hand feel of the way Gandhiji lived and fought for India's freedom. Jamnalal Bajaj gave his land for an Ashram. Gandhiji named the place as Sevagram
, earlier known Segaon, a village near Wardha.
