ABOUT

GIPE

Founded in 1930, the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE) is one of the oldest

institutions for economics teaching and research in India. In 1993, keeping in view its

professional standing and scope for further development, the Government of India declared GIPE

The Institute is located in the premises of the Servants of India Society, established in 1905 by

the great Indian nationalist leader Gopal Krishna Gokhale (1866-1915). On the Fergusson Hil

behind the Institute lies the spot where Gokhale took the vows of the Society poverty,

obedience, and service to nation - and administered them to three others. It has become a

landmark because of the erection of a column there. Gokhales bungalow still stands in the

precincts of the Society. So does a massive banyan tree under which Gokhale and M.K. Gandh

used to discuss political issues. Gandhi regarded Gokhale as his political guru. The Gokhale

Institute was established in 1930, incorporating the Servants of India Society library.
