Mahatma Gandhi Institute

The Mahatma Gandhi Institute was inaugurated on 09 October 1976 by two distinguished personalities, Dr the Right Hon. Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, Prime Minister of Mauritius, and Shrimati Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India. The Mahatma Gandhi Institute Act 1982 together with the Mahatma Gandhi Institute (Amendment) Act 2002 and the Rabindranath Tagore Institute Act 2002 have provided for the Mahatma Gandhi Institute and the Rabindranath Tagore Institute to function under one Council and one Director-General. By broadening its scope, the Mahatma Gandhi Institute is well settled on its path to cater to the growing educational, academic, and cultural demands of the country and to contribute to the regional role of Mauritius.

The Mahatma Gandhi Institute is today rightly viewed as a meeting ground for different cultures. The philosophy underlying the vision and its mission of it takes an example from Gandhian thought, rich in educational and social values. The objects of the Mahatma Gandhi Institute as stipulated by its Act are to establish, as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, a Center of Studies for Indian culture and traditions, to promote education and culture generally.
