The Vice President of India Shri M. Hamid Ansari inaugurated an exhibition on the life of Mahatma Gandhi in photographs and quotations entitled “Mahatma Gandhi- My Life is My Message” at a function here today. The Exhibition has been organized by National Gandhi Museum, Rajghat, New Delhi and gives an overview on the life of Mahatma Gandhi in important key dates. Addressing on the occasion, the Vice President said that if we practice one ideal of Mahatma Gandhi daily, our next generation will be more acquainted with his teachings. It has become a tradition for years to remember Mahatma Gandhi on two days only a year which implies that we have forgotten the contribution of Mahatma Gandhi. He said that Mahatma Gandhi had an expertise in explaining the difficult and complex issues in simple words. If we practice Gandhiji’s ideals and teachings whole year like this, his soul would have been more satisfied. The Vice President congratulated National Gandhi Museum for organizing such an informative and useful exhibition on Mahatma Gandhi and asked them to invite school children to visit to enhance their knowledge of Mahatma Gandhi. The Chairman of National Gandhi Museum Prof. Bimal Prasad and the Director Smt. Varsha Das also addressed. Many dignitaries were present on the occasion. SK/BS
