39th Indian National Congress, Belagavi

A special cover was released in Belagavi on 27th December 2018 to celebrate the 39th Indian National Congress, Belagavi which was held in 1924.

Mahatma Gandhiji having extracted promise to move ahead with inter-faith,inter-caste and inter- party UNITY, declared the struggle for freedom to be carried forward in the path of Non-violence with Non-cooperation. He asked the people not to get discouraged even if the heavens are at loose. This propelled country faster towards freedom.

39th Indian National Congress, Belagavi ao Hardikar strived hard to make the congress session at Belagavi with Gandhiji as president, a great success, supported by later's "Seva Dal" Volunteers. A special well (Pampa Sarovar) itself was built in the vicinity of the session to meet water requirement of delegates of the session, which is famous even today as " Congress well".
