Hint: Kattyavar (or Kathiawar, as it is currently known) was a collection of princely states during the time. Porbandar, the state capital, had a population of roughly \[15,000\] people. Porbandar had three private primary schools and the Porbandar Taluka School, which was a government primary school

Complete answer:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in October\[2\] , \[1869\] in Porbandar. His education most likely began in \[1876\] in Porbandar, which was administered by an Indian ruler at the time. It was a somewhat remote community, with little Western influence.
Hence, it was Mahatma Gandhi who had his primary education in Porbandar.

Additional information: As of December\[12\] , \[1954\] , records showed that the name Gandhi could not be found in any of the consistent records, such as annual examination result files and correspondence files, of any of the schools. To confirm this, records from the three private schools Adhyaru School, Laxman Bava School, and Khoja School were examined. As a result, it's thought that the boy Mohania, as the family called him, went to a private school run by Shri Virji Kamdar, also known as Lulia’s teacher since he was lame. Almost all of the Gandhi family's sons attended Lulia master's school, according to Mahatma Jo's cousin Shri Maneklala Amritlal Gandhi, presumably because it was close to Karamchand Gandhi's house (now known as Keerti Mandir).

Note: Note that elementary education was not compulsory in those days, and only about \[20\% \] of boys of school-going age attended primary schools. Mohandas seems to have received special coaching from Shri Anandji Tulsi Adhyaru, who was a tutor to the princess of Porbandar, in addition to his schooling in the infant class. Mohan and his elder brother Karsandas may have learned the 'Ram-Raksha' from Adhyaru at the request of their relative Shri Amritlal Tulsidas.
