Wardha is a town of Maharashtra state. The town derives its name from the Wardha
River that flows through it. It was founded in 1866 and now is an important
trade centre for cotton. The place is more famous for Gandhiji’s Sevagram
Ashram, now a national institute. It is just 8 km from the town. Most of the
tourists coming to Wardha visit this historic place as it is associated with the
Father of the Nation. This Ashram was established by Mahatma Gandhi in the year
1933 and was named Sevagram which means “Village of Service”. Once it was the
head quarter of the Indian National Movement where Gandhiji lived for over 14
years.
