The dilapidated Dandi bridge near Gandhi Ashram may have failed to draw the attention of authorities so far. But the historical glory associated with the bridge- from where Mahatma Gandhi started his Dandi march -has struck a chord with a team from Georgia Institute of Technology. The team is in the city for a joint studio with Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (Cept) University students. The joint studio exercise between Georgia Institute of Technology and Cept that started on Monday is a platform for exchange of ideas and learning from each other. Around 11 students each from both the institutes will be working on two studies for a fortnight in Ahmedabad. The joint study was organised by Prof Madhu Bharti and Prof Utpal Sharma of Cept.
