It was from 1880 to 1887 that Gandhiji studied here and completed his matriculation here. “The building's architecture is beautiful and in good shape but needs to be preserved. Converting the place into a museum will also attract more tourists and help maintain the legacy of Gandhiji,“ said municipal commissioner Vijay Nehra.
