Dandi is a village in the Jalalpore taluka, Navsari District, Gujarat, India.

Location[edit]

It is located on the coast of the Arabian Sea near the city of Navsari.

Salt March[edit]

The village got into worldwide prominence in 1930, when Mahatma Gandhi selected it to be the destination for the Salt March.[1] He marched from Sabarmati (Ahmedabad) to Dandi (Navsari) with some of his followers to protest against the imposition of a tax on salt by the British Raj. Thousands of people participated, travelling on foot for 24 days from Ahmedabad to Dandi.[citation needed]

The Government of India initiated plans to develop the Sabarmati-Dandi stretch as a tourist hub.[2][3] In 2019 the National Salt Satyagraha Memorial to commemorate the Salt March of the Indian Independence Movement was opened in the village.[4]
