It changed the course of Indian history. It was, there/ore, necessary to erect a memorial at this holy place so that the present especially younger generation is reminded ofthis heroic episode which shook the British Raj. Keeping in view the full essence of Mahatma Gandhi's ideals, the Dandi Yatra 1988 was planned on the celebration of fourtieth anniversary of country's in~dependence and the Birth cenLenaJY ofPandit Jawaharlalji. The day and time of the departure, the route, number of participants and villages covered were same as they were for Mahatma '5 Dandi March. "Ex". Prime Minister, Late Shri Rajiv Gandhi gave send off to these Dandi Yatras. SO selected young yatri's began their yatra on 12th March 1988, from Saharmati Ashram and ended at Dandi on 6th April 1988. The main objeatives of these yatras are to revive the Gandhian principles like patriotism, communal harmony, national integrity, national unity, non-violence etc. During these yatra Hindus and Muslims have turned out in large number to greet them from wherever they passe~. Various ·Welfare aetillities were also undertaken during the course oJ the whole yatra: It is worthwhile to note that quite a good number 0/ people were seen w~aring old Gandhian white caps. According to the Ex. Prime Minister, Late Shri Rajiv Gandhi's observation Dandi yatra-1988 seems to have once agqjn awakened us to rededicate ourselves to the Gandhian ideas and ideals/or national reconstruction {e. to remove tears from the eyes of every Indian people.
