Gandhi Nagar formerly known as Jalihal Camp, is one of the largest villages[1] in Karnataka state in terms of area, population, property, agricultural production and revenue. It is the first government recognized revenue village in the Tunga Bhadra Delta Region (i.e. Bellary, Raichur and Koppal districts). From 17 May 1997 onward this village was renamed Gandhi Nagar from Jalihal Camp.[2] is located on either sides of Tunga bhadra left Bank Canal,#36. In this village there are many fertile, high-yielding paddy fields. Paddy is the main agricultural crop in the Tunga Bhadra Delta Region and the paddy varieties grown here include Sonamasuri, Emergency, Ganga Kaveri, Nellore Sona, JJL, RS22.

The paddy grown here were mainly exported to Bengaluru, Chennai, Maharashtra and Middle-East countries. The paddy cultivation is done by using modern agricultural equipment; in this village most of the farmers have their own tractor. The residents mainly established cow and buffalo farms alongside the paddy fields.

In this village, there are many Telugu-speaking people, who are mainly migrated from West Godhavari District of Andhra Pradesh during 1960–1970s for cultivating agricultural land in Tunga Bhadra Delta Region. These people are mainly of Kamma and Rajulu Community and their primary occupation is agriculture and animal husbandry. Telugu constitute the majority of the villagers and farmers.

There are no communal tensions and people of all castes and creeds coexist in harmony. This village perfectly suits its name "GANDHI"NAGAR as all the people in this village follow Gandhian principles. Kamma people, also known as chowdaries, form the base of Gandhinagar's economy.
