THE Eternal Gandhi Museum Houston (EGMH) has received a grant of USD 475,000 from the Fort Bend County under the American Rescue Plan, which would go a long way in completing construction of the first museum in the US dedicated to preserve and promote Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy and ideals.

 

The ground-breaking ceremony for the museum was conducted on July 3 this year, with Congressman Al Green being the chief guest, with a host of other dignitaries and members of Houston’s local community also being present for the event. The museum is expected to open sometime in 2023. “The Eternal Gandhi Museum Houston is delighted and truly grateful to the Fort Bend County Commissioners’ court for approving this grant,” volunteer, trustee and co-founder Atul B Kothari said.
