The saga of Indian history is incomplete without the Independence Movement. Mahatma Gandhi, along with the growing nationalism among the vast population, significantly influenced the Indian freedom struggle. Mahatma Gandhi led the launch of three major national movements during the 20th century. The Non-Cooperation Movement in 1920; the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930; and the Quit India Movement in 1942. Among these, the most dynamic movement is the Civil Disobedience Movement, which is popularly known as the Salt Satyagraha because its first and most significant act of disobedience involved breaking the salt law. The civil disobedience movement involved a nationwide mass movement. In Odisha, the participation of the undivided Balasore District in the movement is particularly praiseworthy. This paper will discuss the participation of the undivided Balasore District in the Civil Disobedience movement, also known as the Salt Satyagraha.
