Kikkeri’s parents had never been to Sabarmati Ashram in the city and Doctor’s son in Germany also wanted to see the place where Father of the Nation had spent many years during the freedom struggle. Hence they took the help of technology and bro ught a special robot which moved to every nook and corner of the Ashram giving a real-time glimpse of the place.

Doctor said his son Naman is studying in Germany but through live video was able to see the entire Gandhi Ashram. “He used an app to control the robot’s position and could see the Ashram as if he was there itself. He could see each and every place including Gandhiji’s personal room, Hridaya Kunj,” he said. Kikkeri’s mother, Girija Kikkeri, and father, Narayan Kikkeri, also saw Gandhi Ashram through robot.
