Baroda is situated on the banks of the river
Vishwamitri (whose name is derived from the great saint Rishi Vishwamitra).
The city was once called Chandravati, after its ruler Raja Chandan, then
Viravati, the abode of the brave, and then Vadpatra because of the abundance
of banyan trees on the banks of the Vishwamitri. From Vadpatra it derived
its present name Baroda or Vadodara.
Modern Baroda is a great and fitting memorial to its late ruler, Sayaji Rao
Gaekwad III (1875-1939 AD). It was the dream of this able administrator to
make Baroda an educational, industrial and commercial centre and he ensured
that his dream would come true.
The people of Baroda like to tell visitors that their city is a ‘Sanskari
Nagari', that is, a ‘cultured city'. By and large, the visitors agree. The
city does indeed have rich cultural traditions. And today's Barodians have
quite a full and hectic cultural life throughout the year.
In Baroda various large-scale industries such as Gujarat State Fertilisers &
Chemicals, Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited and Gujarat Alkalies
and Chemicals Limited have come up in the vicinity of Gujarat Refinery and
all of them are dependent on it for their fuel and feedstock. Other
large-scale public sector units are Heavy Water Project and Gujarat
Industries Power Company Limited. In addition to these public sector
enterprises, a number of other large-scale enterprises have come up in the
private sector. The products of these industries have wide applications in
various sectors of the Indian economy.

Junagadh Municipal Corporation [JUMC] |
| |
Junagadh is
situated right at the base of the temple-studded Girnar Hill, and is the
departure point for visits to the Gir Forest. This interesting and
unspoilt town has some exotic old buildings, most in a state of disrepair,
and is a fascinating place to explore, but very few tourists come here.
The city takes its name from the fort, which enclosed the old city. Dating
from 250 BC, the Ashokan edicts near the town testify to the great
antiquity of this site. At the time of Partition, the Nawab of Junagadh
opted to take his tiny state into Pakistan. However, the inhabitants were
predominantly Hindu and the Nawab soon found himself in exile, which
perhaps explains the sorry state of his former palace and fort.
