Anand district, Administrative district in Gujarat, India
Description
Anand district is an administrative division in central Gujarat extending from the Mahisagar River in the north to the Gulf of Cambay in the south. It contains several blocks and hundreds of villages on relatively flat terrain used extensively for farming and dairy activities.
History
The district was established as a separate administrative unit in 1997 when it split from Kheda district. This reorganization allowed the region to develop its own identity and focus on local governance.
Culture
Dairy farming shapes daily life here, and locals take pride in their connection to milk production that feeds the nation. You see this heritage reflected in the cooperatives, the rhythm of rural activities, and how communities value agricultural work.
Practical
The district is accessible by local buses and vehicles, with villages connected by a network of roads. Visit during cooler months to avoid the peak summer heat that can be intense in this region.
Did you know?
The district headquarters hosts major national dairy institutions that have shaped India's milk production system. Few visitors realize how much of the country's dairy supply originates from the cooperative model developed here.
