AHMADABAD DISTRICT VILLA~E & TOWN DIRECTORY -¢-- VILLAGE AND TOWNWISE PRIMARY CENSUS ABSTRACT , , Jayant Pari mal of the Iridian Administrative Service Director of Census ,Operations, Gujarat GANDHI ASHRAM After spending some time overseas, Gandhiji returned to India and soon after that established his Kochrab ashram at Ahmadabad, from where he moved to a new site on the banks of the river Sabarmati in 1917 AD. The Sabarmati ashram was the launching pad of Gandhiji's many movements including the struggle for freedom from British rule, the fight against caste discrimination in India, and the Swadeshi Movement. The Hriday kunj, where he stayed, houses his simple belongings, while Charles Correa has designed a suitable memorial keeping in mind Gandhiji's policy of simplicity and non-possession. In 1921 Gandhiji inaugurated the Gujarat Vidyapith which is working on tribal welfare research even today. Gandhi ashram was the staging post for Gandhiji's march to Dandi in 1930 AD. The march protesting against the salt act, that prevented Indians from earning from salt trade, ended at Dandi with the Mahatma picking salt from the coastal marshes, an act that broke the back of the British empire in India by inspiring various patriotic uprisings. A memorial and a picture gallery marks the spot where Gandhiji's disobedience act was committed. Gandhiji left Gujarat after the Dandi march and settled in Mumbai, Delhi and other cities of India, but the Satyagrah, self government and village upgradation movement he had instilled with the help of Sardar Patel, starting with south Gujarat, remained alive after his death. In 1942, Ahmadabad was one of the focal points for the Quit India Movement.

The publication, which is brought out for each district, contains several demographic and socio-economic characteristics village-wise and town-wise of thedistrict along with the status of availability of civic amenities, infra structural facilities, etc. 2. The scope of the DCHB was initially confined to a few Census Tables and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town within the district. Thereafter, at successive censuses, its scope and coverage has been enlarged. The DCHB published at the 1961 census provided a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory including PCA. The 1971 census­ DCHB series was in three part~: Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part~C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCAand amenity data in respect of villages.
