Bapu Kuti

Sevagram Ashram is de-facto capital of pre-independent India. When Gandhiji started his Dandi march in 1930, he had decided not to return to Sabarmati till Independence for India was attained. Independence was not attained and Gandhiji was imprisoned for more than two years. On his release he decided to make a village in Central India his head quarters. He came to Wardha in 1934, at the invitation of Jamnalalji Bajaj and in 1936, he shifted to the village Shegaon which he renamed as Sevagram, meaning 'village of service'. Bapu Kuti was built and he stayed in his kutiya till his death. From then on, Sevagram has become an inspiring historical place. Many decisions on important national matters, including the Quit India movement 1942 were taken here.
