Amreli, Gujarat – Nestled in Amreli district, Ishwariya village has earned a reputation as one of the best-developed villages in the region, proudly holding the title of a “100% Smart Village.” Its success is credited to the unity of the villagers, the foresight of the gram panchayat, and timely development work.

Every lane in Ishwariya is paved with RCC or asphalt roads, with paver blocks ensuring no waterlogging during monsoons. Benches line the streets for villagers and visitors, while a modern bus stand offers shaded seating and clean facilities.

Safety & Infrastructure

The village is under 24×7 surveillance with CCTV cameras, keeping crime in check. LED streetlights brighten the nights, ensuring no corner remains in darkness. Even old stepwells have been restored, preserving heritage while maintaining water sources. A centrally located community hall now hosts weddings, religious ceremonies, and social events.

Parks with play areas for children, seating for elders, and lush greenery add charm. Villagers go beyond development—they nurture nature. Every tree has a small water pot for birds, turning summers into a lifeline for sparrows and other species. Regular planting drives and watering routines keep the environment fresh and vibrant.

A Cultural Touch

Every morning begins with devotional hymns played through loudspeakers, infusing positivity and spiritual energy. Festivals are celebrated with unity, strengthening bonds across generations.

Village leader Babubhai Savjibhai Vamja says, “Ishwariya is a 100% Smart Village. Its facilities, unity, and vision inspire the entire Amreli taluka. Today, it stands as a model for other villages.”

The journey of Ishwariya proves that with collective effort, foresight, and community participation, any village can become a beacon of progress. With its perfect balance of modern amenities, environmental care, safety, and cultural values, Ishwariya is more than just a smart village—it’s a living example of success with values.
