It includes a wide range of adventure sports activities. M India’s adventure tourism industry nearly doubled in size between 2009-2014, driven by a key shift in interest towards adventure sports, primarily from domestic tourists who are looking beyond usual holidays for new experiences. M The demand for adventure sports by Indian tourists increased 400% between 2008- 2013, indicating a strong domestic market for adventure sports, including water sports. M Out of nearly 2 million adventure tourists, international tourists contribute up to 10% or 0.2 million, while the rest 1.8 million are domestic tourists. According to an analysis by industry chamber, PHDCII, adventure tourism is growing at 20% YoY, and is expected to emerge as one of the biggest foreign exchange earners — surpassing US$27 billion market size by 2018, provided that key policy initiatives are undertaken by state governments. 2 M Increasing monetization opportunities M Opportunities to monetize water sports activities are now better than ever. With internet users in India set to grow to 500 million by the end of 2016, the online space and social media is becoming a key source to promote and monetize water sports. M Gujarat has a youth population (15-24 years) of around 12 million. This youth population provides a significantly large target market for water sports in Gujarat. M Promotions and monetization methods may include offering water sports as weekend getaway packages, partnering with online travel and coupon portals to offer deals on water sport activities, striking corporate tie-ups, as well as partnering with foreign tourism boards. 3 M Rise in water sports training institutes M India is seeing a rise in water sports training institutes across states.

    Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power (Three Case Stories) By Gene Sharp Foreword by: Dr. Albert Einstein First Published: September 1960 Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 27540635 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power FOREWORD By Dr. Albert Einstein This book reports facts and nothing but facts — facts which have all been published before. And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

  • Join Us As We Cycle Mahatma Gandhi's Famous Salt March Route
    CYCLE THE SALT RIDE Join us as we cycle Mahatma Gandhi’s famous Salt March route from Ahmedabad to Dandi THE DANDI RETREAT 17th to 22nd December 2019 Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi Beach Thirty-five years before Dr. Martin Luther King marched from Selma to Montgomery, a 60-year-old Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi led dozens of his followers on a 384 km journey from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, a small village on the Arabian Sea, to protest British rule. Leaning on a long walking stick and dressed as always in modest homespun clothes, Gandhi hoped to bring worldwide attention to the growing Indian independence movement by highlighting the injustice of Britain’s colonial salt laws, which forbid Indians from producing or selling their own salt. The Salt March, also known as the Dandi March or the Salt Satyagra- ha, began on March 12, 1930, near Gandhi’s religious retreat in Sabar- mati Ashram, and proceeded some 384 km southward over 24 days toward the coastal village of Dandi, where a crowd of thousands watched as Gandhi and his followers deliberately broke the law by evaporating seawater to make their own salt. Go Dharmic will be celebrating the completion of 50 libraries for underprivileged children and also launching the campaign to plant 1 million trees. Join us on the 16th of December 2019 to raise awareness for the vast array of issues facing our environment by riding the route of Mahatma Gandhi’s famous salt march. We will cycle from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to Dandi Beach and make a stand for our planet and raise funds for Go Dharmic and its campaigns.
