Gujarat Vidyapith Observes Gandhi's Birthday as Rentiya Baras on October 7
Gujarat Vidyapith, founded by Mahatma Gandhi, celebrates his birthday on October 7 according to the Hindu Vikram Samvat calendar, marking it as 'Rentiya Baras' or spinning wheel day. This tradition, observed for about 90 years, honors Gandhi's wish to dedicate his birthday to the charkha, symbolizing self-reliance through khadi. This year, the university took the charkha to over 350 municipal schools in Ahmedabad to promote Gandhi's message of swadeshi and self-sufficiency.
