MGIRI Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Rural Industrialization (MGIRI), earlier named as National Institute for Rural Industrilization (NIRI), is an autonomous institution located in Wardha, Maharashtra, India whose purpose is to accelerate the process of rural industrialization by providing science and technology support. It is inspired by the Gandhian vision of sustainable and self reliant village economy. Mahatma Gandhi came to Wardha in 1934, at the invitation of Jamnalalji Bajaj. In April 1936, Gandhi established his residence in the village Shegaon which he renamed as Sevagram. From 1934-1936 Gandhi stayed at the place where MGIRI stands today. His cottage has been well preserved by institute, housing a library, office and guest house. The place was donated by Bajaj Group of Industries to Govt. Of India as a tribute to Mahatma. KVIC thus collaborated in many projects with NIRI for developing rural technologies. Establishment of MGIRI was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, Government of India, on 28 February, 2016 as an autonomous body under the Indian Societies Registration Act.
