This is a memorial of the Salt Satyagraha, also known as Dandi March, was a non-violent civil disobedience movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930 against the British salt tax and monopoly in India. The memorial is located in the coastal town of Dandi, where the Salt March ended on 5 April 1930 and the British salt monopoly was broken by producing salt by boiling sea water.

The project to develop the National Salt Satyagrah Memorial was conceived and advised by the High Level Dandi Memorial Committee (HLDMC) and was endorsed by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. The IIT Bombay provided services as a Design Coordination Agency. The memorial was inaugurated on 30 January 2019, the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

To the left of the main memorial there is a life sized statue of Gandhi with 78 volunteers. These statues are made of bronze. An artificial lake was created to symbolize the seashore aspect of the Salt Satyagraha. In order to reinstate the virtue of Self-sufficiency reinforced by Gandhi in the Freedom Struggle, the memorial is made self-sufficient for its energy needs. To achieve this 40 Solar Trees are installed. In order to engage the visitors, solar salt making pans are installed. As a memento of a visit to the memorial visitors are allowed to take a pinch of salt back home. There are 24 narrative murals on the path connecting main entry to the main statue which describes the historical events. There is big elevated glass cube on the main statue of Mahatma Gandhi to symbolize the crystal of the Salt.
