Brief History of Sabarmati ashram

         First of all let me tell you that Sabarmati ashram is also known as some other names which are satyagrah ashram, Harijan ashram, and Gandhi ashram. Originally Sabarmati ashram was known as satyagrah which was established at Kocharab Bungalow of jivanlal desai in 1915. He was friend of Gandhi. After some times Mahatma Gandhi realized that this ashram is too small for doing their activity. Because of that Mahatma Gandhi started to search new place where he can shift this ashram. In 1917 Gandhi found a big space near to ban of Sabarmati River. Mahatma Gandhi told that this is the right place where they can do their activities regularly. So in 1917 Satyagrah ashram was relocated and it became famous as Sabarmati ashram. This ashram is near to the ban of Sabarmati River and because of this reason it is known as Sabarmati ashram.  So It is the Brief History of Sabarmati Ashram. But does anybody know what the situation of Sabarmati ashram at present is? Let me tell you something about present situation of this ashram.
