Mobile exhibition on Mahatma Gandhi to be flagged off from Porbandar

New Delhi

A specially designed truck from Porbandar will pass through Gujarat, Rajasthan and Haryana and reach the third India-Africa Forum Summit venue which is scheduled between October 27-29 at Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium. South African President Jacob Zuma and his Nigerian counterpart Muhammadu Buhari are among those who have confirmed their participation in this summit which will address major global issues like climate change, UNSC reforms and international terrorism. The Summit is taking place exactly 100 years after his return from Africa as a mass leader against racial discrimination and oppression.

The truck will feature Mahatma Gandhi’s Africa connection.

The truck will be flagged off by Gujarat CM Anandiben Patel in Porbandar after the inaugural event at the Kirti temple, located next to the birthplace of the Mahatma. It will then head to Rajkot where it will stop at Rajkot High School (earlier Alfred High School) from where Gandhi graduated. The mobile museum will also visit Dandi, Sabarmati and Gandhinagar before heading to Rajasthan. Designed in the form of a museum, the truck showcases important events of Mahatma Gandhi’s life in the form of photos and audio-visual content and sound and light shows.
