The Indian High Commission said High Commissioner Harsh Vardhan Shringla and Minister for Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Quader jointly inaugurated the school in the Gandhi Ashram campus on Saturday. The school building has been constructed as a part of the Gandhi Ashram Trust (GAT) development project financed by the Gandhi Heritage Sites Mission (GHSM) of India’s Ministry of Culture. Upgradation of Ashram’s museum and construction of an office-cum-residence of the Secretary of Gandhi Ashram Trust are also part of the development project. The Gandhi Ashram Trust is a philanthropic and development organisation working in Noakhali since 1946 on the basis of the Gandhian philosophy of rural development. “Distressing television images day after day point to the need for us to return to Mahatma Gandhi,” he said, adding that Gandhi stood for liberty, ethics in public life, equality and humanism.
