The GandhiServe Network

What is GandhiServe?

GandhiServe is a multinational network of various institutions furthering the promotion of Gandhian values - truth, civil disobedience, nonviolent resistance and peace. These institutions offer products and services relating to Mahatma Gandhi and India's independence movement. They firmly believe in and follow the principles of simplicity, self-support and trusteeship as propagated by Mahatma Gandhi.

Which are these institutions?
