Quote

Bhau (Bhavarlal Jain) took the lead in setting up of a world class museum ‘Gandhi Teerth.’ Former GRF Chairman and former Chief Justice Chandrashekhar Dharmadhikari had also provided special guidance for it. It is a matter of pride for Jalgaonkars that the GRF set up at Jalgaon will participate in global level exhibition. The GRF has undertaken the rural development work which is inspired from Gandhiji’s philosophy. The world will be able to know and understand it through this exhibition. Gandhians from all over the world will be visiting it and innumerable people will be connected to Mahatma Gandhiji’s philosophy.
