RURAL INVESTIGATIONS IN GUJARAT
The greater part of this work was done in 1927, and the claim
made in the Preface may be maintained in spite of certain recent
activities in the same direction mentioned below.
(1) A general survey of the Pardi Taluka, Surat District
was done by a Committee appointed by the Gujarat
Branch of the Bombay Provincial Co-operative Institute
in 1923; this was published in 1925.
(2) While this book is in the press, " An Economic Survey
of Aladar", a village in the Broach District, made by
Mr. G. C. Mukhtyar himself during 1928-29, under the
auspices of the Gujarat Branch of the Bombay Provin-
cial Co-operative Institute, has been published.
(3) A survey of the economic conditions of the villages of
Vedchhi and Kumbhia (Bardoli Taluka Surat District),
made by Mr. Narhari Dwarkadas Parikh and his
co-workers in May 1929 is being published in instal-
ments in the monthly supplements of ^Navjivan"
(Gujarati).
(4) The Gujarat Vidyapith (the National University at
Ahmedabad, founded by Mahatma Gandhi) has recently
appointed a Committee for the Economic survey of the
Ma tar Taluka, Kheda District. The survey is to be done
by students under the Direction of Professor Coomarappa
and Mr, Narhari Parikh,
