What did gandhiji do to improve …

After the Champaran battle was won and the land given back to the peasants, Gandhiji continued to stay there as he saw the cultural and social backwardness in the Champaran villages and wanted to do something about it immediately. His loyalty was, indeed, to living human beings and he took the initiative and began the work of eradicating their cultural and social backwardness. Primary schools were opened in six villages so that the poor peasants and their children could be educated. Many of his disciples, including his wife and son, volunteered for the work. Kasturbai taught the people of ashram rules on personal cleanliness and community sanitation. Gandhiji got a doctor to volunteer his services for six months to improve the miserable health conditions in the area. He also noticed the filthy state of women’s clothes and asked Kasturbai to talk to them about it.
