The district of Kutch is located in the western corner of the Gujarat State of India on west coast. Kutch has got Arabian Sea on the west side and shares border with Pakistan. The area is actually part of desert known as Great Rann of Kutch (great desert of Kutch). The area is in highly seismic zone and is prone to natural calamities like cyclone also. However, the area has always been inhabited by people of Kutch known as Kutchis. After partition of India in 1947, thousands of people living in Sindh province (now in Pakistan) were displaced. On the request of Mahatma Gandhi, the King of Kutch gave a piece of land for settlement of Sindhis displaced from Sindh. This area was developed near Kandla Port and is called Gandhidham-Adipur.

Tolani Foundation with the vision of Kaka Tolani has developed its mission as providing education, health and spiritual development of the people of this region.
