DINGUCHA (GANDHINAGAR): An NRI status is the mark of success in Dingucha – the last village in Gandhinagar district on the way to Mehsana.
This is very clear the moment you step into the settlement: posters advertising ‘student’s visa to Canada and USA’ are visible anywhere you turn in the village, which recently gathered infamy after four of its residents froze to death while being smuggled from Canada into the US. Of its 7,000-strong population, nearly half are settled in countries like the US, the UK or Canada.
