Magan Sangrahalaya

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi after departure from Sabarmati in Ahmedabad in 1930 settled at Maganwadi in Wardha in 1930. This Ashram he named after Maganlal Gandhi, his close associate who had been his right hand in all the earlier three Ashrams but who had suddenly died while working, at his behest, in Bihar in 1928. Gandhiji was dedicated to the cause of rural industries and founded the All India Village Industries Association by a resolution of the All India Congress Committee on 26th October 1934 with Mahatma Gandhi as its President and J.
