Dandi March Day is celebrated on March 12th every year to commemorate the historic Salt March led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930. This day is observed to honor the brave activists who participated in the nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly.

The Salt March, also known as the Dandi Satyagraha, was a significant event in India's struggle for independence. Mahatma Gandhi and his followers walked 240 miles to the Arabian Sea, where they produced salt from the seawater, defying the British laws.

On Dandi March Day, people across India pay tribute to the spirit of nonviolence and civil disobedience that Gandhi embodied during the Salt March. It is a day to reflect on the power of peaceful resistance in bringing about social and political change.
