Remembering Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th birth anniversary, an initiative was taken up to construct convention centers in 21 countries of Africa. Based on Gandhi’s philosophy, this tribute is also to encourage growth in the tourism industry and promote local art and culture of Africa.
As said by Gandhi himself, South Africa was important to his personal achievement. It was an incident in a train that changed the course of his life and he founded Satyagraha in South Africa. With years he propagated the concept of satyagraha and made South Africa free of class and ethnic discrimination society.
“The Convention Centre at Gambia is designed to incorporate the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi, thus depicting his life and teachings. Taking notes from Gandhi’s philosophy which is to instill the virtues, the conceptual derivations can be felt in its architectural interventions and is evident in its site planning as well,” said Prof Charanjit Shah.
