	== History ==		== History ==
	Mahatma Gandhi ~~came to~~ Wardha in ~~1934~~, at the ~~invitation~~ of ~~Jamnalalji~~ Bajaj. In April ~~1936~~, ~~Gandhi~~ established ~~his residence~~ in the village ~~Shegaon which he renamed as Sevagram. From 1934-1936 Gandhi stayed at~~ the ~~place where MGIRI stands today~~. ~~His cottage has been well preserved by institute, housing~~ a ~~library~~, ~~office and guest house~~.~~<ref>{{Cite web\|title=Sevagram Ashram\|url=https://www~~.~~gandhiashramsevagram.org/}}</ref>~~		Mahatma Gandhi started the All India Village Industries Association (AIVIA) on 14 December 1934 in Wardha. The AIVIA got reorganized in Maganwadi, [[Wardha]], [[Maharashtra]], in a spacious orchard belonging to Seth Jamanalal Bajaj. Gandhiji stayed there with Kasturba during 1934–36 and supervised the works of AIVIA which became a hub of rural industrial activity with focus on research, production, training, extension, organization, propaganda and publication.
	~~The place~~ was ~~donated by Bajaj Group~~ of ~~Industries to Govt~~. ~~Of India as a tribute to~~ Mahatma~~. KVIC thus collaborated in many projects with NIRI~~ for ~~developing rural technologies. Establishment of~~ MGIRI was ~~approved~~ by the [[~~Appointments Committee of the Cabinet~~\|~~Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs~~]], [[~~Government~~ of ~~India~~]]~~, on 28 February, 2016~~ as ~~an autonomous body~~ under the [[~~Indian Societies Registration Act~~]].~~<ref>{{Cite web\|url = http://kvic~~.org.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=339&Itemid=32\|title = The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) website\|date = \|accessdate = 22 August 2015\|website = KVIC website\|publisher = \|last = \|first = }}</ref>
			Jamanalal Bajaj Central Research Institute (JBCRI) was created in 1955 to carry forward the R&D works of AIVIA. From 1 April 1957, the Institute came under the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), which was established in 1956. The objective of JBCRI was to carry on research and investigations into the problems of village industries and in particular the development of improved tools and techniques. When KVIC adopted a more inclusive definition of rural industries, which permitted infinite number of activities vide M. Ramakrishnayya Review Committee Report 1987, a new pattern of R&D support system became necessary. Thus revamping of JBCRI was become necessary to meet the technological challenges arising out of the above paradigm shift.

			Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Rural Industrialization (MGIRI) at Wardha was developed during 2001–2008 by the collaborative efforts of [[Khadi and Village Industries Commission\|KVIC]] and [[IIT Delhi\|Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi.]] MGIRI was setup as a National institute under the [[Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises\|Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Govt. of India]] at the historical premises of Maganwadi, Wardha by revamping JBCRI. Its autonomous function started effectively from October 2008.
