A short history of the Gandhi memorial academy society.......

Abstract

A brief history of the Gandhi Memorial Academy Society written by the late Dr. R. K. Yajnik was given in the first Souvenir Volume on pages 45 to 55. It is proposed in this Note to bring that account up to date for the information of members who have not been in touch with the developments since Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan's visit.Dr. Yajnik's account more or less fully covers the period between the visit of Professors Humayun Kabir and N. K. Siddhanta and the opening of the Gandhi Memorial Academy part of the Royal Technical College by Dr. Radhakrishnan. It is felt, however, that members will be interested to know some of the early history of the idea.
