at Sevagram ashram of Mahatma Gandhi, and became a follower of Gandhism for the rest of his life. He believed in
Gandhi's concept of a self-sufficient village industry that empowers seemingly helpless people, and successfully brought
his ideas into practice at Anandwan. He practised various aspects of Gandhism, including yarn spinning using a charkha
and wearing khadi. Amte founded three ashrams for treatment and rehabilitation of leprosy patients, disabled people, and
people from marginalised sections of the society in Maharashtra, India.
