    Abstract
    PUNE: The Deccan house of Gopal Krishna Gokhale, a prominent figure of the Indian national movement, will be preserved and a memorial will be constructed on the same premises. "The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has alloted Rs 25 lakh for preserving the house and making the memorial," said Ashwini Kadam, head of the standing committee. The memorial will house Gokhale's belongings, writings and awards won by him during his lifetime. It will also be included in the heritage tour. The year 2015 marks Gokhale's 150th birth year and death centenary. He was born in Ratnagiri in May 1866 and died in Mumbai in 1915. Gokhale was a senior leader of the Indian National Congress and founder of the Servants of India Society. He is described as one of the founding leaders of India's Independence movement. Mahatma Gandhi referred him as his 'guru'. Following Gokhale's advice, Gandhi toured the country to learn about its realities before taking a plunge into politics. A number of establishments including streets, auditorium, schools, hostels and colleges have been named after him including the renowned Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics.
