    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi, was a leader in the freedom struggle against colonial British control. He was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Gujarat.

    This led to India's independence being achieved in 1947. His unwavering commitment to "Swaraj" (self-governance) and "Ahimsa" (non-violence), also known affectionately as "Bapu," earned him honours from all over the world.

    International Day of Non-Violence is a day set aside each year to commemorate Gandhi's birth.
     
    Swachh Bharat is a shared obligation, and every effort matters, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who on Friday announced the start date of a cleaning campaign that would begin on October 1 to commemorate Gandhi Jayanti.
