In commemoration of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birthday, 150 trees will be planted in Athens.
Gandhi, born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, became the face of India’s nonviolent resistance against British colonial rule and is immortalised throughout the world, including with a statue at Westminster.
Although born October 2 1869, the anti-colonial figure could not be properly commemorated in Greece in 2019 for his 150th birthday, and only five trees were planted in his memory.
However, following a meeting between Environment Minister Kostas Skrekas and Indian Ambassador to Greece, Amrit Lugun, 150 trees in honour of Gandhi will be planted in Athens.
Kostas Skrekas with Ambassador Lugun on April 7, 2021.
