    The key takeaways are that the Gandhi Ashram in Pallipadu, Nellore was established in 1921 on the banks of river Penna where Gandhi propagated his principles of truth, non-violence and equality. It made a significant contribution to the Indian independence movement.

    The Gandhi Ashram in Pallipadu was the first of its kind in Andhra Pradesh and second only to the Sabarmati Ashram at the national level. It was inaugurated by Gandhi himself and started living and teaching based on his principles of truth and non-violence.

    The original building was constructed in 1925 with donations from various individuals and organizations. In 2006, the building was renewed with donations from other individuals and organizations.

    The Pinakini Satyagraha Ashramam is a living memory of Mahatma


    Gandhis association with Nellore. It was established on the bank of river
    Penna. It has made a significant contribution to the National Freedom
    Struggle lead by Gandhiji.
    This Ashramam is known as Pallipadu Gandhi Ashramam. It is the first of
    its kind in Andhra Pradesh and stands second only to Gandhijis Ashramam
    at Sabarmathi at the National Level. The Ashramam was inaugurated on 7feb-1921 by Gandhiji himself.
    Initially it started in thatched huts on the bank of river Penna. On the
    suggestion of Gandhiji an amount of Rs. 10,000/- was extended as
    financial help by the All India Congress Committee and 22 acres of land
    was secured. The living and teaching in the Ashramam started on the
    principles of truth, non-violence. Many programmes were taken up such as
    Production of Khadhi, Eradication of untouchability, propagation of Hindi as
    the national language, Naturopathy, Equality of all religions, and Adult

    Traditional Architecture Guest House

    RURAL DEVELOPMENT CENTRE AT PALLIPADU


    GANDHI ASHRAM
    I visited the Ashram and very much inspired by the
    atmosphere there. The Museum contains rare
    photographs of Mahatmaji. The Ashram is on the
    banks of Pennar River. There is the Guest House
    which was built with traditional Architecture. 22
    Acres of fertile land belongs to the Ashram.
    I had discussions with Management of Red Cross on
    making this Ashram as a Centre for Rural
    Development,ideals cherished by Gandhiji. They

    are very positive and incidentally the Management


    Team is well known to me.
    The proposed Rural Development Centre will have
    Three Divisions:

    1.Rural Energy:
    Demonstration of Renewable Energy Systems
    like Solar Cookers,Solar Driers,Simple Solar
    Water Heaters,Small Wind Turbines
    Biogas for cooking and power through inpout
    from care-free growth,regenerative and CAM
    plants like Agave and Opuntia.
    Energy Conservation in Lighting and
    Agricultural Pumpsets
    2.Vertical
    Farming
    for
    nutritional
    leafy
    vegetables,Growing Highly Nutritious plants
    like
    Broccoli
    under
    controlled
    conditions,Organic Farming.
    3.Agro Industries & Skills TrainingCentre: Small
    industrial units utilizing local resources and
    resourcefulness: For Example Seethaphal oil
    which is Tocic and can be used as natural
    insecticide.

    Today there is great demand for Skilled


    workers. A Skilles training Centre in the fields
