Gujarat: Newly formed Vav-Tharad district set to receive Jilla Seva Sadan
Gandhinagar, January 25
The newly formed Vav-Tharad district will soon be equipped with a modern, state-of-the-art Jilla Seva Sadan. This Seva Sadan will provide a strong impetus to the holistic development of the district.
According to a release from the Gujarat CMO, the launch of this significant development project has taken place in the Vav-Tharad district, which will be hosting the state-level celebration of the 77th Republic Day for the first time.
Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel laid the foundation stone and unveiled the plaque for the Jilla Seva Sadan, to be constructed across an area of 39 acres in Tharad, at an estimated cost of ₹70 crore.
The event was graced by the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Shankar Chaudhary, and the Minister of State, Swaroopji Thakor.
In accordance with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of good governance, the construction of Jilla Seva Sadan at the district headquarters has been adopted to ensure that citizens can conveniently access all government services from a single location.
Taking this approach forward, the state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel will develop this advanced Seva Sadan in the newly formed Vav-Tharad district, the release noted.
The new Jilla Seva Sadan will be equipped with more than 30 district-level offices of various state government departments, including the office of the District Collector. This will enable citizens to avail services from multiple departments in one place, resulting in the saving of time and resources while enhancing administrative efficiency.
The Vav-Tharad Jilla Seva Sadan will be developed in accordance with green building standards. It will feature amenities such as a solar rooftop system, rainwater harvesting facilities, a spacious meeting hall, modern elevators, and basement parking, as per the release.
On this occasion, Deodar MLA Keshaji Chauhan, District In-charge Secretary Nagarajan, District Collector J.S. Prajapati, District Development Officer Kartik Jivani, Roads and Buildings Secretary P.R. Patelia, Special Secretary J.A. Gandhi, Superintending Engineer L.D. Chaudhari, Executive Engineer Tejas Mangukiya, along with other officials and a large number of citizens, were present.

₹70 crore is a significant investment. While the intent is good, I hope the focus remains on efficient service delivery and not just a fancy building. The real test will be whether the common person finds the processes simpler and faster.
Great to see development reaching newer districts. Hosting the Republic Day celebration there is a proud moment for the locals. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
The solar rooftop and rainwater harvesting are commendable. Sustainable infrastructure is the need of the hour. Hope other states take note of such projects that combine governance with environmental responsibility.
As someone from a rural area, I know the struggle of running between different offices in the city. This 'Seva Sadan' concept is a boon. Bas ab yeh promise pura ho jaye, kaam time par ho. All the best to Vav-Tharad!
Efficient, centralized administration is key to development. 30+ departments in one location is ambitious. The success will depend on well-trained staff and robust digital systems to manage the workflow without delays.
