About
About Gandhinagar
Gandhinagar in India is the capital of the state of Gujarat and of Gandhinagar district. Gandhinagar is located approximately 23 kilometres (14 mi) north of Ahmedabad, on the west central point of the industrial corridor between the megacities of Delhi and Mumbai.
After being separated from Maharashtra, the state of Gujarat had its government offices in Ahmedabad temporarily. This town was created to set up the government offices through which the state can run. All the bureaucrats travelled by public transport from Ahmedabad to serve the government offices (or, Sachivalaya - Gandhinagar has Old Sachivalaya and New Sachivalaya). Some still do so. New Sachivalayar surrounds Vidhan Sabha or the State Senate Building. From its start is a town of bureaucrats. It is now booming with tourism.
