For this, Gandhi appealed to teachers. Mahadev Desai and Narhari Parekh with their wives volunteered for work. Several more came forward from all over the country to give their services. His son Devdas and the wife of Gandhiji, Kasturbai, also came there. Primary schools were opened in six villages. Kasturbai taught the rules on personal cleanliness and community sanitation. Gandhiji got a doctor to volunteer his services for six months. Gandhiji also noticed the filthy state of women's clothes. He asked Kasturbai to talk to them about it.
