As a part of celebrations to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the Embassy of India in Slovenia participated in the Vzajemna Kids’ Cycling Marathon on Saturday, 8 June 2019.

Ambassador HE Mr. Param Jit Mann flagged off the marathon. By participating at the cycling event in Slovenia, the Embassy’s aim was to spread more awareness on Gandhi’s principles of truth, non-violence and universal brotherhood; morality in personal and public life. Mohandas K. Gandhi known as Mahatma or “Great Soul” led his life in a most inspirational manner and thus also inspired many generations to follow.

To cite one of his quotes: “We must become the change we want to see.”
