Gadhada is a taluka headquarter, 25 km away from the main headquarter of the Swaminarayan sect, the district headquarter, Botad and 85 km from Bhavnagar district. There was an education facility only up to the 12th standard till the year 2012. A college facility for higher education was located 25 km distant in Botad. However, out of the 72 villages of Gadhada taluka, very few students went to Botad after 12th standard. Most of the girls did not receive higher education as they had to go from their village to Gadhada and then from Gadhada to Botad. Gradually, Government took a welcome decision to start a college at the taluka level. Under this, it was decided to open colleges in Talaja, Gariyadhar, Ghogha, Vallabhipur, and Gadhada talukas of the Bhavnagar district. Thus, fortunately for the students of Gadhada who are deprived of higher education due to lack of facilities, on 15 December 2012, a government college was started in Gadhada under the acting principalship of Dr. Jignesh Upadhyay.
