Chhota Udaipur district (also Chhota Udepur district) is a district
in the state of Gujarat in India. It was carved out of the Vadodara
district on 26 January 2013 with its headquarters at Chhota Udaipur
town and is the 28th district of Gujarat.
The district consists of the six talukas of Chhota Udepur, Pavi
Jetpur, Kawant, Naswadi, Sankheda and the newly created Bodeli
taluka. The district headquarters is located at Chhota Udepur.[3]The
district was created to facilitate decentralisation and ease of
access to government services.[4][5] Its creation, announced in the
run up to the Assembly elections in Gujarat in 2012, was also seen
by the media and political analysts as a government strategy to
attract tribal votes
