Naming and census identity
All three sources spell it the same way: the 2009 gazette, the DSIRDA Development Plan villages map and the 2011 census sheet all print Gorasu. Nine of the twenty two villages have at least one variant spelling; this is not one of them.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Census 2011 village code | 511925 |
| Census village name | Gorasu |
| Sub district | Dhandhuka (03787) |
| District | Ahmadabad (474) |
| State | Gujarat (24) |
| Gujarati name | not in any source document |
These are Census of India 2011 codes. Village codes are reissued between censuses, so they must not be read as current Local Government Directory codes. No Local Government Directory code was available to this extraction, and no Gujarati spelling was available for any of the twenty two villages, so none was transliterated or guessed.
Town planning scheme membership
no scheme sheet in the source set names this village. That is not the same as saying no scheme covers it. Four of the eight records, schemes 2, 4, 5, 6, carry no village list at all, so a village can sit inside one of them without appearing anywhere in this atlas.
The scheme sheets that do carry a village list are those for schemes 1, 2/A, 3 and 4/A. Fourteen of the twenty two villages are named on at least one of them.

Corroboration and what is not known
| Document | Location | What it confirms |
|---|---|---|
| dsirda_villages_map.pdf | p.1 | village label 'Gorasu' printed inside the DSIRDA boundary |
| census_village_2400.xlsx | Village_Data_2400 | village code 511925, sub-district Dhandhuka (03787) |
- No Gujarati spelling of Gorasu exists in any source document, so the field is empty rather than transliterated.
- The share of Gorasu that lies inside any scheme is unknown. Every scheme sheet says part villages and none quantifies the part.
- No land class is recorded against Gorasu or against any parcel in it. The two datasets behind this atlas contain no tenure class at all, which is set out in full on the land classes page.
- Population, amenities and village level census attributes were not extracted. This record carries codes, names and the schedule figures only.
