The Poona Pact was signed on 24 September 1932 at Yerwada Central Jail in Pune.
Poona Pact was signed during the tenure of the Viceroy Lord Willingdon (1932-1936).
The Poona Pact refers to an agreement between Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi.
This Pact ended the fast that Gandhi had undertaken in the jail to protest against British Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald’s award of a separate electorate to the Depressed Classes.
Mahatma Gandhi went on a hunger strike and objected to the provision of separate electorates for the Dalits at Yerwada Central Jail.
