This tribal-dominated district was carved out of the Vadodara District of Gujarat in January 2013. With a population of only 27,165 people, the city of Chhota Udaipur is one of the most literate and advanced cities not only in Gujarat, but in the whole country. A visibly strong agricultural economy provides the backbone to this constituency. Some of the tourist attractions are the Nahar Mahal or the Kali Niketan Palace, and the Rathwas in and around the region. The Tribal Museum, among many others, is a popular tourist attraction as it displays tribal artifacts used by the people in the region.
