Bhai Pratap Dialdas, who thought of the displaced Sindhis as the aftermath of partition, requested Maharaja of Kutch asked for land and he got 18,000 acres, where homeland for the Sindhis was planned; the Sindhu Resettlement Corporation Ltd was formed. A new township of Gandhidham and Adipur came in existence.

With the assistance from Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Pandit Jawarlal Nehru, Acharya J B Kripalani, the then President of Indian National Congress and first Chairman of Sindhu Resettlement Corporation Ltd, Bhai Pratap Dialdas, the soul behind this great missionary work gave new shape to the town.

Owing to the Sindhu Resettlement Corporation Ltd's work the township's - Gandhidham and Adipur - work progressed. The Government of India leased out 2600 acres of land to the corporation for the development and grant of sub-lease to the shareholders of the corporation.

The residential, commercial and industrial houses, which were built were demarcated for allotment to the shareholders of the corporation. The SRC built over 35,000 houses for the Sindhis, who were shareholders of the corporation. Many co-operative housing societies were also being built. There is good transport, communication and education provisions. This is a good place for Sindhis who consider Gandhidham as a homeland.
