The foundation was established 31 July 1958[2] to preserve and spread Gandhi's thought. It began with donation of 10 million rupees from Gandhi Smarak Nidhi.[3] Its first board was composed of notables including R. R. Diwakar, Rajendra Prasad and Jawaharlal Nehru.[4]

Gandhi Marg[edit]

Gandhi Marg is a magazine launched in 1957[6] by S.K. George. He was later replaced by G. Ramachadran. Until 1965 the journal was published by Gandhi Smarak Nidhi and from its 10th annual year, it was sponsored by the Gandhi Peace Foundation. From 1973 to 1979 the magazine was not published, thereafter resuming on a monthly basis. After 1989 Gandhi Marg returned to a quarterly schedule.
