Happy Gandhi Jayanti 2025


Every year on 2nd October, India celebrates Gandhi Jayanti, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. In 2025, we mark his 156th birth anniversary, paying tribute to his life, principles, and enduring legacy.

Mahatma Gandhi was a visionary leader who pioneered the philosophy of non-violence (Ahimsa) and truth (Satyagraha) as powerful tools against injustice and colonial rule. His simplicity, moral courage, and deep commitment to equality continue to inspire generations across the world.

On this day, libraries, schools, and institutions organize programs such as:

Book exhibitions on Gandhiji’s life and works

Screening of documentaries and films on the freedom struggle

Reading sessions of his writings like Hind Swaraj and My Experiments with Truth

Discussions on Gandhian values in modern times

For libraries, Gandhi Jayanti is a special occasion to promote reading, reflection, and dialogue on peace, harmony, and truth. By encouraging students and readers to explore Gandhiji’s writings, libraries play a vital role in spreading his message of tolerance and non-violence.

As we celebrate Gandhi Jayanti 2025, let us take a pledge to walk on the path of truth, non-violence, and service to humanity, and to carry forward Gandhiji’s ideals in our personal and social lives.

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi
