'''Mithapur''' is a [[census town]] in [[Devbhumi Dwarka district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Gujarat]]. It's lies about 20 km from [[Dwarka|Dwarka city]], the district headquarter.

== Geography ==
Mithapur has an area of

{{convert|22.1|km2|mi2}}. It is located at {{Coord|22.41|N|69.00|E|}}.<ref>[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/9/Mithapur.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Mithapur Tech2Gujj Mahesh Barot]</ref> It has an average elevation of 7 metres (22 feet).

Just like Jamshedpur which is the hub for steel production, Tatas have created two centers centered around its two operations - Mithapur in coastal Gujarat for its salt and soda ash production and Babrala in Uttar Pradesh for its fertilizer operations. Distinct in layout and geography, Mithapur and Babrala serve the needs, and then some, of the company's chemicals and fertiliser plants respectively.

==History==

The Mithapur story began in 1939, when the Tatas took over the Okha Salt Works. Okhamandal, the region where Mithapur is situated, was an undeveloped and desolate place where many kingdoms and civilisations had thrived in the past. Mithapur, privately owned by Tata Chemicals, is part of the 5,398-acres of freehold land obtained in the 1930s from the government of the erstwhile princely state of Baroda.

==Township==

The town square at Mithapur, from where roads branch out in many directions, is symbolic of the central place the company enjoys in this community comprising employees and their families, teachers and merchants. Spread across 663 acres of land, Mithapur enjoys the advantages of urban infrastructure along with the beauty of its idyllic surroundings.<ref>[http://www.tata.in/careers/index.aspx?sectid=10thFt4D0OU Tata townships] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130802113427/http://www.tata.in/careers/index.aspx?sectid=10thFt4D0OU |date=2013-08-02 }}</ref>

A department within Tata Chemicals takes care of Mithapur's administration. This department is responsible for developing and maintaining residential houses, schools, medical facilities, public spaces and welfare and sports activities. In the 60's this department was led by the lead Architect, Muzaffar Ahmed Yahya who was responsible in creating and designing the entire township and they are still developing the town on his designs. Some of the old folks also remember Mithapur town as Muzaffarnagar. Mithapur has a high school, three primary schools, two junior schools and one pre-school; together they provide education to some 8,000 children and employment to over 200 teachers (as per 2013 figures). Many of these children come from the nearby villages and other remote areas for education.

A well-equipped hospital, a mobile clinic, a family-planning unit and child-immunisation centres look after the healthcare needs of company employees as well as the people living in the 42 villages of Okhamandal. Other facilities include a market with 300 shops, a hospital, a cinema hall and six parks. The town has an assortment of parks and gardens to go with a 2-km-long beach and the two lakes at its outskirts attract a variety of migratory birds in the winter months.

Tata Chemicals operates all the municipal services in the town, and delivers an uninterrupted supply of electricity from its captive co-generation power plant. The company provides for the cultural and recreational needs of the community through the libraries, clubs, cinemas, playgrounds and public gardens it has established. To cater to the diverse needs of its staff and the local community, Tata Chemicals supports a large number of social and cultural institutions through grants.

((Religious Matters)) : As it comes to Religion there are Hindus, Muslims and Christians living in Mithapur. There are many big temples for Hindus, The mosque in Mithapur are of Sunni's (Following Hanafi) and All the Muslims in Mithapur are Pure Sunni and there is Church for the Christians and all the people from different religions share a great bonding and they stay together. In religious matters Mithapur is an Excellent town paying respect to all the religions and no discrimination on any basis.

Water is a precious commodity in Mithapur, which falls in the drought-prone [[Jamnagar district]]. Water is recycled back to a flush-pumping station and used to nourish plants and maintain gardens.
