This year will mark the 150th Birth anniversary of the Father of our Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. He was not only a great leader and a social reformer but also an innovator par excellence whose creative and innovative ideas are of relevance till today.

The goal of this challenge is to bring Bapu's way of life to the students of our country. We want students to read and understand the principles of Mahatma Gandhi to express their innovation. Mahatma Gandhi was a strong believer of social justice, non-violence, self-reliance and equality for one and all. Unfortunately, we as citizens of the world are moving further away from these tenets and towards an exclusive society rather than an inclusive one.

Many problems are staring at us in our face today, such as those of global warming, increasing violence and intolerance to name a few. The situation we are in, calls for all us to look back at our rich past and think of how we can bring back Gandhiji's values to create a new World, a sustainable world which is full of love and harmony, peace and justice for one and all. So, let's come together to innovate towards building a brighter World and a better future!

Read and understand what Mahatma Gandhi believed in, how he lived his life and how he helped our country, our planet and all its citizens.
