Hermann Kallenbach, a Gandhi supporter, allowed Gandhi and seventy to eighty other people to live there as long as their local movement was in effect. Kallenbach suggested the name for the community, which soon constructed three new buildings to serve as living quarters, workshops, and a school. Sjt.pragji desai also helped in this program. There were no servants on the farm, and all the work, from cooking down to scavenging, was done by the inmates.
