to be taken care of as we are a democracy and not ruled by communist like
china. So it was necessary to find a land where there would be no resistance
from local farmers and its location is in proximity to connected cities. In
such context in Gujarat Dholera was a forgotten port city once bigger than
Bombay or today’s Mumbai was having maximum government land with farmers land
also given by government for farming after independence gradually over years
moreover this land was barren because of salinity creating challenges in
farming activities and only monsoon was suitable for farming with limited
number of crops possible. This was also located in the midst of Gujarat south
of Ahmedabad, North of Bhavnagar and West of Vadodara almost in the vicinity of
100 kilometers of this major cities of Gujarat.
