History

Ode was known in ancient times as Pranavpur. In former prosperous times, the Banzara (Gypsy) community built a Vav (a well with steps) and an inn for large numbers of visitors. Part of this inn was used as a middle school until 1945. During the struggle for Indian independence, Ode was the center for the area’s Satyagraha movement. In 1930, Narshibhai Jivabhai Patel of Nar sacrificed his life for the movement. The 'Narshi-Bhavan' monument was built in his memory. This building was used as a Dharmashala (guest house) as well as a girls' school.

The local Education Board operates a primary school for boys and a another for girls. Both these schools were built with a generous donation from Marghabhai Kishabhai Patel. A high school under the name “Sardar Patel Vinay Mandir” is managed by the Ode Kelavani Mandal under the guidance of the Charutar Education Society. This board also manages a Kindergarten school. Under the banner of various educational bodies, several educational programs are catered to youths and adults. These programs include typing classes, painting, music and home science.
