Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gandhinagar is the capital of the state of Gujarat in western India. Gandhinagar is located on the west central point of the Industrial corridor between Delhi, the capital of India and Mumbai, the Financial & Economical capital of India. In 1960, when the old Bombay State was bifurcated into the present states of Maharashtra and Gujarat, Bombay city fell to the share of Maharastra. It was then decided to build an entirely new capital for Gujarat. Gandhinagar, Gujarat's new capital city, lies on the west bank of the Sabarmati River, about 464 km away from Mumbai, the financial capital of India. Gandhinagar presents the spacious, well-organized look of an architecturally integrated city. Around the central Government complex, stretch 30 sectors into which the city has been divided. Each sector has its own shopping and community center, primary school, health center, Government and private housing. Apart from which there is a generous provision for wide open green parks, extensive planting and a large recreational area along the river giving the city a lush green garden-city atmosphere.
