Gandhi Katha Vachan is a compilation of stories related to Mahatma Gandhi for different age groups.

“Stories have been compiled to create interest among school students to know and understand Gandhi,” an official of the state Mass Education Department said.

According to officials, stories like “Cha se Champaran” and “Mitti se neta bhi bante hain” will inform students about the uniqueness of Gandhi.

Mahatma Gandhi launched a satyagraha against the forced cultivation of indigo by the British rulers in Champaran district in Bihar on April 10, 1917.
