The social and cultural backwardness in the rural areas of Champaran caused Gandhi ji a great pain. His appeal for teachers was responded by several people. In about six villages, primary schools were opened. Gandhi's wife and youngest son also came to Champaran to help him. Kasturba taught personal cleanliness and community sanitation to the people. Gandhi also managed to get the help of a doctor who with three medicines, tried to fight the miserable health conditions of Champaran.
