7. What can you tell me about Ahmedabad city?
Ahmedabad, the seventh largest city of India, is one of the most important seats of learning. In addition to IIMA, Ahmedabad boasts a number of exceptional academic and research institutes such as National Institute of Design (NID), Mudra Institute of Communication (MICA), and Physical Research Laboratory (PRL).
Once known as the “Manchester of the East”, much of the city’s twentieth century reputation was built on its commercial and enterprising spirit. It was a centre for textiles.
The Hriday Kunj, the Ashram on the bank of Sabarmati River, from which Mahatma Gandhi launched the Independence movement, is in Ahmedabad.
The city is well connected by air and rail to all major cities in India. It has an International Airport and is connected to major cities of Europe, USA, and the Gulf.
The city has moderately hot climate round the year except in April-May-June, when it is very hot. Here is the general pattern of temperature in Ahmedabad.
