Detailed Solution

Mahatma Gandhi organised a satyagraha to support the peasants in the Kheda district of Gujarat in 1918. Gandhi is credited with starting the first non-cooperation movement with the Kheda satyagraha in 1918. Due to crop failure and famine, farmers in the Kheda district were in hardship.
