Eternal Gandhi Interactive Multimedia Exhibition is the brainchild of Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla. He felt the need to transcend the Mahatma beyond the realm of textbooks to enliven him in the minds and hearts of school children and Gandhi-scholars alike. To realise his dream of recreating the history of this timeless man, he decided on the 21st century’s medium of information technology and gave a fitting tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.
