Geographically Rajkot is situated in the heart
of Saurashtra Region of Gujarat State. Throbbing with commercial activities, in
the backdrop of new globalized economic and industrial policy, Rajkot is the biggest
city in terms of population in Saurashtra-Kutch Region. It is well connected with
the whole of Saurashtra-Kutch Region and other parts of the States through National
Highway, Sate Highway, Railways and Airlines.
It was a princely State prior to independence
and during the British Regime considering its geo-climatic factor and state of its
industrial growth, Rajkot was made the headquarter of political agent and offices
of all princely states of Saurashtra were established here. It became the State
Capital of Saurashtra State after independence. After independence and formation
of Gujarat State, Rajkot became the focal point of Saurashtra-Kutch Region through
its rapid social, cultural, commercial, educational, political and industrial activities.
As a result of increased urbanization, the villages on the fringe of Rajkot City
became an integral part of Rajkot for all purposes. |
