Answer:
Reasons for launching the Civil Disobedience Movement were:
The Simon Commission came to India in 1928. It was to look into the functions of the constitutional system in India. Since it had no Indian member in it, it was boycotted by all political parties in the country.
Later, in 1929, the Congress under the leadership of Nehru declared 'Poorna Swaraj' as its main aim. The nationalist fervour began to rise in the country.
As nationalist feelings began to emerge, Gandhi sent a letter containing eleven demands to Lord Irwin in 1930 asking him to accept it. When he refused, Gandhi launched the Civil Disobedience Movment.

British had the monopoly over salt manufacturing and selling. The Namak Satyagrah was in protest against the steep tax the British levied on salt. It was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India to produce salt from seawater, as it had been practised by the Indian people. The British officials deemed such production illegal and forced the people to buy it at expensive rates.
Although salt was not the main problem Indians were facing under British rule, it was chosen to symbolize the start of civil disobedience movement because salt was deemed as something on which each Indian had the basic right. Also, salt could be made free of cost from the ocean instead of paying hefty taxes on its purchase from the British
And so, Mahatma Gandhi declared resistance to British salt policies to be the unifying theme for the civil disobedience movement and thus started Dandi March
