- Area and survey number counts are the gazette schedule's own figures for each village, printed as published.
- Census codes are Census of India 2011 village codes. Village codes are reissued between censuses, so these must not be read as current Local Government Directory codes. No such codes were available to this register.
- The rate book spells six of these villages differently from the 2009 gazette. The gazette spelling is used as the heading because it is the legal instrument, and the rate book spelling is printed in the last column so the join can be audited.
- Sodhi has no page anywhere in either rate book, so it carries schedule figures and no rate. Nothing is substituted for it.
Three lists that are not the same list
One is a legal boundary, one is a first phase, and one could not be established at all.
Three different village lists are in circulation for Dholera and merging them is how most of the confusion starts. This register keeps them apart.
22 villages
OFFICIAL
Revenue villages whose lands were declared, in column 4 of the Schedule, to constitute the Dholera Special Investment Region. This is the legally notified SIR area.
19 villages of Dhandhuka taluka + 3 villages of Barwala taluka, Ahmedabad district (talukas as they stood in 2009). Total 879.3377 sq km and 14,574 survey numbers as printed in the schedule.
4 part villages
OFFICIAL
Villages whose lands fall inside the Activation Area, the 22.54 sq km first-phase development. The Activation Area is delivered through approved town planning schemes 2A and 4A; this list is the union of the "PART VILLAGES" declared on those two scheme maps.
These are PART villages: only part of each village's land lies inside the scheme. Being on this list does not mean the whole village is inside the Activation Area. A "KHUN" label appears on the TP 2A sheet but it is a neighbouring-village map label, not a part village - the title block count is (04) and the map title ends at BHIMTALAV.
not established
UNKNOWN
All revenue villages of Dholera taluka, Ahmedabad district. Dholera taluka is an administrative unit that did not exist at the 2011 Census; the SIR villages were then in Dhandhuka and Barwala talukas.
NOT ESTABLISHED - no source document available to this extraction enumerates the villages of Dholera taluka. See the taluka correction.
The 2009 notification fixes the region at 879.3377 square kilometres. The development authority's current publicity says about 920 square kilometres. Both figures are reproduced here as published and this register reconciles neither, because no boundary variation notification was available to it. The village count is 22 in both.
