At 6 o'clock in the morning after prayers Bapu and his band of marchers bid farewell to Ankhi and marched towards Jambusar. At Jambusar Motilal Nehru and his son Pandit Jawharlal Nehru along with several Indian National Congress leaders were waiting to meet with Bapu. Delegates of the central provinces and Andhra had also come to Jambusar to meet Bapu and assure him that in their states and provinces also the satyagraha would be enthusiastically observed. That afternoon Motilal Nehru and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru along with several Indian National Congress leaders and 16 members of the Indian National Congress Working Committee held a meeting at a secret venue in camera. The meeting was to plan the schedule of the nationwide satyagraha and the civil disobediences' movement. Bapu said that if they got the services of more volunteers then he would simultaneously launch civil disobedience movement in all the provinces of India but if there were few volunteers then he would only hold satyagraha at one venue in India. Gandhi appealed to the leaders to stage similar marches in their provinces, if he was arrested or when he gave the clarion call to launch civil disobediences. In his speech Bapu thanked eleven government officials for submitting their resignations to him. He referred to letters he had received from Khursheed Behn, granddaughter of Dadabhai Naoroji and the daughter of the Ahmedabad industrialist Mridula Sarabhai, that they were eager to join as volunteers in his satyagraha. Bapu said, ‘I will not stop women from offering satyagraha but the time is not yet’. At Jambusar a young girl offered Bapu her glass bangles. Bapu accepted the donation and immediately auctioned them, the glass bangles were sold for rupees one hundred and twenty five, a princely amount then. That evening Bapu and his band left Jambusar and reached Amod. The people of Amod and the villages around Amod had gathered in their thousands to welcome Bapu. They had sprinkled water on the path so that dust would not raise when the marchers reached their village. They had decorated the roads with leaves of the asopalav and mango trees and they had decorated their village lavishly.
At 8 o'clock in the evening the marchers reached Amod to welcome him a person sprinkled rose perfume on Bapu and welcomed him with a garland of khadi yarn, that he had himself spun. When he tried to sprinkle more rose perfume, Bapu stopped him and said ‘Enough, do not waste such fine perfume on vagabonds like us’. The night halt here was in the compound of a cotton ginning mill. The address to the people of Amod was organized in the compound of the ginning mill and more than ten thousand people gathered to listen to Bapu. Speaking at the rally Bapu warned the people that the agitation must be completely non violent, no matter what the provocation, no matter how brutally the government acted against the people. He forbade them from raising their hands against a single British official, they were to receive the blows rained on them without even raising their arms to ward off the blows. This was a test of their bravery, and they would have to prove themselves worthy. After the meeting Bapu and his band of marchers rested for the night in the compound of the ginning mill.
