The twenty four day march started from 12 March 1930 to 6 April 1930 as a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly.

Gandhi led a large group of people from Sabarmati Ashram on 12 March 1930 till Dandi, a coastal village in Gujarat, to break the salt law by producing salt from seawater.
