History

The village of Thaltej and surrounding areas were originally inhabited members of low castes who were known for social crimes. This, along with its distance from the center of Ahmedabad hindered its development as a suburb of Ahmedabad in the late 20th century. [2]

Geography

Thaltej village is situated around a lake on the far western edge of Ahmedabad. Since the city has continued to expand outward, development pressure has increased in the area and the lake has recently become an interest to the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) as a potential redevelopment project. Currently, the lake is surrounded by a large slum population who has lived around the water body for 25–35 years. In addition, the lake and the surrounding area are not polluted. [3] The lake's total storage capacity is 32.2 crore liters and the circumference is 1617 meters. Desilting area is 107393m3. [4]
