Complete answer:
 Gandhi Ashram also known as Sabarmati Ashram (Harijan Ashram, or Satyagraha Ashram) is located in the sub-Saharan suburb of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, along Ashram Road, on the banks of the Sabarmati River, miles from the town hall. The Bhagavad Gita was recited daily here as part of the Ashram program.
It was here that Gandhi led Dandi's march also known as the Salt Satyagraha on . In recognition of the immense influence that the march had on the Indian liberation movement, the Indian government established ashram as a national commemoration. Gandhi's India ashram was originally founded in Kochrab Bungalow by Jivanlal Desai, Gandhi's lawyer and attorney. At that time the ashram was called Satyagraha Ashram.Gandhi wanted to do various jobs, such as farming and herding, in addition to the need for more land. So two years later the ashram was sent to a -acre site on the Sabarmati River, later known as the Sabarmati Ashram.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note:Satyagraha Ashram, renamed Harijan Ashram, was re-launched with a twofold purpose - one was to continue the quest for Truth, and the other was to create a non-violent working group, which would form a non-violent working group, which would organize and help defend national liberation.
