The Correct answer is Option 4. 

Key Points

  •  Mahatma Gandhi visited Odisha for the first time in March 1921 to promote the Non-Cooperation Movement.
  • He visited Odisha again in August 1925 to propagate his ideas on social reforms, including the upliftment of the Harijans.
  •  Gandhi visited Odisha in December 1927 to further strengthen the freedom struggle and social reform movements.
  •  There is no documented evidence of Mahatma Gandhi visiting Odisha in September 1930. His major focus in 1930 was the Salt March (Dandi March) and the subsequent events related to the Civil Disobedience Movement. Hence Option 4 is Correct.
