Speaking at the plantation drive, the minister recalled Gandhi's stay in Champaran in that year and highlighted how Gandhi began efforts towards sanitation and hygiene there, how those efforts became part of a wider mass movement, and how they contributed to addressing the grievances of indigo farmers.

The Theosophical Society was founded at New York in 1875 by Madame H. P. Blavatsky and Colonel H. S. Olcott, and in 1882 it moved its international headquarters to Adyar, from where it spread the study of ancient Indian philosophy and revived pride in Hindu and Buddhist thought.
