A 'Mo Dak Ticket' based on the historic Alka Ashram in Jagatsinghpur was unveiled on Sunday by Governor Dr Ganeshi Lal here.
Alaka Ashram Centenary Committee chairman Laksha Keshari Mohapatra, editor Devendra Nath Raut, coordinator Nagendra Nath Swaween, Somnath Parida and stamp sculptor Lal Laksha Keshari Roy were present.
Built on the backdrop of the Non-Cooperation Movement and playing a major role in civil disobedience across Odisha, the Alaka Ashram, which was declared illegal by the British Government during the Quit India Movement, is celebrating its year-long centenary celebrations this year. A preparatory meeting was also held on the occasion before the unveiling of the postal tickets.
Many dignitaries of the State attended and expressed their views to make the centenary ceremony very memorable. The ceremony will be held in the presence of national and international Gandhian followers including many dignitaries of the country and the State.
