Surties in Surat, Gujarat, India

Var­a­c­hha

Varachha is a Suburb in Surat city and host of the Surat Diamond and embroidery Industry.

The people of Saurashtra of Western Gujarat moved away from their rain-starved native to Surat in search for income generation and survival almost four decades ago. Since then Saurashtrians have considered Surat as their home land. After coming to Surat, some individuals began trading business while majority of them entered into labour front in a phased manner. The population of the people involved in diamond trade and embroidery market belonging to Saurashtra increased to a sizeable extent in Surat particularly in the area of Varachha.
