Village 13 of the register
Panchi
Panchi is one of the twenty two villages whose land was declared part of Dholera SIR in 2009. It holds 360 survey numbers across 13.9638 sq km, and it is named on the sheets for scheme 3.
A revenue village is the unit Gujarat keeps its land records in. Every plot in Panchi belongs to this village on paper, and the number that identifies it, its survey number, is issued within this village.
Being named on those sheets does not mean the whole of Panchi is inside them. The sheets say part villages, and no document we hold says which part or how much.
This page shows the government's own entry for the village, how it is spelled on each document, and what the records do not say about it.
The government's entry for this village
This is the row for Panchi in the order of 22 May 2009 that created the region, copied exactly as printed. Serial number, survey count and area are the government's figures, not ours.

How the village is spelled, and its census identity
All three documents agree on the spelling. The 2009 gazette, the DSIRDA planning map and the 2011 census sheet all print Panchi. Nine of the twenty two villages are spelled differently from one document to the next, which is set out on the spellings page. This is not one of them.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Census 2011 village code | 511937 |
| Census village name | Panchi |
| 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 get reissued between censuses, so do not treat them as current Local Government Directory codes. We had no Local Government Directory code available, and no Gujarati spelling of any of the twenty two names, so neither has been transliterated or guessed at.
Which schemes name this village
| Scheme | Stage | Scheme area, sq km | Villages on that sheet | Government order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scheme 3 | sanctioned draft | 66.60 | 8 | SIRAA/06/2013/439 |
This comes from the title block printed on each scheme drawing. What no document records is how much of Panchi actually falls inside each scheme. Every sheet says part villages, so some of the village is in and some is out, and nothing states the split in hectares or as a percentage. See the part villages page.
How big it is next to the others
Everything in this section is arithmetic we did on the government's figures. None of it is quoted from a document, and the 2009 order does not rank anything. It prints the villages in serial order within each taluka, not by size.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Share of the notified area | 1.588per cent of the printed total 879.3377 sq km |
| Rank by area | 21of 22 |
| Rank by survey numbers | 16of 22 |
| Hectares per survey number | 3.88village area divided by its survey number count |
| Share of survey numbers | 2.470per cent of 14,574 |
It sits between Cher at 16.2436 sq km and Bhimtalav at 7.4042 sq km.
What this page cannot tell you
Anyone selling land here will fill these gaps for you. These are the things our documents genuinely do not say about Panchi.
- How much of the village is inside any scheme. Every sheet says part villages and not one of them puts a figure on the part.
- What class any particular piece of land in it is. Neither dataset records a land class against a village or a plot, which is set out in full on the land classes page.
- The Gujarati spelling. No source document carries one, so the field is empty rather than transliterated by us.
- Anything about people. Population, schools, water and other census details were not extracted. This record carries names, codes and the 2009 figures only.
