The
Sardar
Patel
University
was
the
dream
of
Shri
Bhaikaka.
Thus,
Bhaikaka
was
at
the
peak
of
his
career
as
an
engineer
when
he
sought
early
retirement
from
Government
Service
in
1940
at
the
behest
of
Sardar
Vallabhbhai
Patel,
and
joined
Ahmedabad
Municipality
as
Chief
Engineer.
This
was
the
time
when
his
mentor,
Sardar
Patel,
began
to
visualise
what
a
soon-to-be
independent
India
would
require.
Patel
advised
Bhaikaka
to
give
up
engineering
and
help
Patel
in
transforming
Charotar
into
the
focal
point
of
India.
Serving
the
rural
countryside
would
control
migration
of
people
from
villages
to
towns
in
search
of
education,
employment,
and
healthcare.
Bhaikaka
resigned
from
this
office
too
in
1942
at
the
behest
of
Sardar
Patel,
and
was
appointed
as
Chairman
of
Charotar
education
society
in
Anand,
a
few
years
before
moving
on
to
what
we
now
know
as
the
township
of
Vallabh
Vidyanagar
on
3
March
1946,
but
not
before
registering
Charutar
Vidya
Mandal
as
a
Charitable
Education
Trust
on
10
August
1945.
What
was
once
a
wilderness
at
the
tri-junction
of
Karamsad,
Bakrol,
and
Anand
thus
became
Vallabh
Vidyanagar,
and
the
‘Vallabh’
was
prefixed
to
‘Vidyanagar’
in
recognition
of
Sardar's
advice
to
work
for
rural
uplift.
Containing
migration
required
that
the
reasons
for
migration
be
addressed,
and
Bhaikaka
began
to
work
on
a
plan
together
with
Shri
Bhikhabhai
Patel,
a
dedicated
and
farsighted
educationist,
who
shared
Bhaikaka's
vision.
