Overview

Twenty kilometers away from the Rajasthan border, and eighty from M.P. in the North East of Gujarat, is situated in the lap of the Aravalli hill ranges the small township of Santrampur. Surrounded by verdurous greenery and small rivulets like the Chibota and the Sukhi, this taluka of Panchmahal district was for years considered the heart of darkness. Tribalism and socio-economic backwardness were synonymous. Its remoteness can be judged from the fact that the nearest railway station from Santrampur is seventy kms away and the nearest metro cities of Baroda and Ahmedabad about 165 kms. With a population of 33,000, the main source of income for the people are agriculture and cattle breeding. The geographical situation of the place has its impact on the socio-economic condition: abject poverty and backwardness prevails in this region of Gujarat.
