Belagavi’s Hudali village continues to embrace Mahatma Gandhi’s values long after 75 years of independence

Belagavi will commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's 1924 Congress session. Nearby Hudali, where Gandhi stayed in 1937, continues his teachings of self-reliance and non-violence. The village thrives on Khadi production, abstains from alcohol and tobacco, and maintains communal harmony, making it a model of Gandhi's vision for rural India.
