An institute for the study of Gandhist philosophy has been opened near Nagpur in the Central Province of India. The institute, which includes an international house for students from all countries, will be known as the Gandhi Gyan Mandir. The three buildings just inaugurated were constructed by teams of the Service Civil International, an organisation of voluntary work camps for youth founded in Europe in 1920, to promote friendship between countries. Volunteers from several European countries and from the United States worked with others from many parts of India to build the centre. (Unesco, Paris.)
