  • An Introduction
    M G I M S : An introduction The Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sevagram is India’s first rural medical college. Nestled in the karmabhoomi of Mahatma Gandhi, in Sevagram, this Institute was founded by Dr Sushila Nayar in 1969. Kasturba Hospital has the distinction of being the only hospital in the country which was started by the Father of the Nation himself. MISSION STATEMENT In the spirit of its Founder, the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sevagram today is committed to the pursuit of professional excellence by evolving an integrated pattern of medical education and it seeks to provide accessible and affordable health care primarily to underprivileged rural communities. HISTORY When Mahatma Gandhi left Sabarmati Ashram and set up his ashram at Sevagram in 1936, the epicentre of India’s independence struggle shifted to this obscure village in Maharashtra. In 1938, attracted by Gandhiji’s leadership in the Indian freedom struggle, a young graduate from Delhi’s Lady Hardinge Medical College, Dr Sushila Nayar, arrived in Sevagram. Her selfless service to the community endeared her to the local people. In 1944, when Gandhiji returned from his last imprisonment at Aga Khan Palace, Sevagram was experiencing a number of epidemics. In this situation, Bapu had no use of the guest house built for his guests by Shri GD Birla. He got it converted into a dispensary, and later, into a 15 bedded hospital for women and children. He put Dr Sushila Nayar in charge of the same. It was christened “Kasturba Hospital” in memory of Kasturba Gandhi, who had passed away in 1942.

  • Gandhiji-By-MHS-Vati
    The role of religions in promoting fraternal love and non-violence for harmony and peace Paper presented on the occasion of the 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Vatican, October 1st, 2019. Dr Mehool H Sanghrajka MBE Managing Trustee Institute of Jainology London 1 | P a g e Amongst the statues of the many Prime Ministers and Presidents who stand augustly in Britain’s Parliament Square, is a lone, dhoti and shawl clad figure of the Indian independence movement leader Mahatma Gandhi, directly opposite the House of Commons. In the heart of Westminster, Gandhiji cuts a rather peculiar figure; neither a Prime Minister of Britain nor of its allies, but instead a freedom fighter who was imprisoned by the British on many occasions for his uncompromising adherence to peacefulness resistance, and whose actions directly contributed to the independence of India. Today we continue to honour this man, whose name has become synonymous with Ahimsa or non-violence, and whose influence on other great national and civil-rights leaders, like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, are well documented. Gandhiji accredits Jainism and Lord Mahavir, the last Jain spiritual teacher, as the source of his inspiration. He said, "No religion of the world has explained the principle of non-violence so deeply and systematically, with its applicability in life as in Jainism.......Bhagwan Mahaveer is sure to be respected as the greatest authority on non-violence”. In fact, during his independence struggles, Gandhiji’s daily spiritual practise included practice of the Jain lay vows of Non Violence, Truth, Non stealing, Non Possession and Celibacy.
