gopal krishna gokhale
in 1905, when gokhale was elected president of the indian national congress and was at the height of his political power, he founded the servants of india society to specifically further one of the causes dearest to his heart: the expansion of indian education. for gokhale, true political change in india would only be possible when a new generation of indians became educated as to their civil and patriotic duty to their country and to each other. believing existing educational institutions and the indian civil service did not do enough to provide indians with opportunities to gain this political education, gokhale hoped the servants of india society would fill this need. in his preamble to the sis's constitution, gokhale wrote that "the servants of india society will train men prepared to devote their lives to the cause of country in a religious spirit, and will seek to promote, by all constitutional means, the national interests of the indian people." the society took up the cause of promoting indian education in earnest, and among its many projects organised mobile libraries, founded schools, and provided night classes for factory workers. although the society lost much of its vigour following gokhale’s death, it still exists to this day, though its membership is small.
