'''Sherdi''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʃ|ɛər|d|i}} is a village in [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra region]] of [[Gujarat]] state in [[India]]. It is located in [[Manavadar]] [[Taluka]] of [[Junagadh district]].

==Local Governance==

Sherdi Gram [[Gram panchayat|Panchayat]] is the local village council and a [[sarpanch]] serves as the head of the council, each council serves for five years. Although the village is very politically active on [[Legislative Assembly of Gujarat|state]] and [[Parliament of India|national]] [[Elections in India|elections]], the [[Gram panchayat|panchayat]] is selected with mutual discussions and local elections are very rare.

==Economy and Employment==

Sherdi was entirely dependent on [[Subsistence agriculture|subsistence farming]] before [[Indian independence movement|independence]] of [[India]] and on [[Commercial agriculture|commercial farming]] until late 60s. [[Agriculture]] is still a major employer and a major source of household income as the village greatly benefited from India's [[Green Revolution in India|green revolution]] and [[Operation Flood|white revolution]]. India's [[National Policy on Education|education reforms]] also played a vital part in the last thirty years and now many people from Sherdi are employed in services and industries all over the world. ''Sherdi Seva Sahkari Mandli'' is the village cooperative society and also operates as rations distribution centre for subsidised foods and [[kerosene]]. The society also supplies [[fertilizer]]s and lends agricultural loans to its members. There are several vendors and local shops in the village selling vegetables, groceries and refreshments.

==Education==
Sherdi has a [[kindergarten]] and a [[primary school]] teaching grade 1 to 8. Grade 8 was granted to the primary school in 2010 with additional staff and two new classrooms.

==Transportation==

Sherdi is connected by [[asphalt]] road to [[Manavadar]], [[Bantwa]] and [[Sardargadh]] and by [[gravel road]] to nearby villages of [[Indra, Gujarat|Indra]] and [[Limbuda]]. Sherdi is also connected by [[dirt road]]s to [[Jilana]] and [[Zinzri]], these routes are not accessible by [[Motor vehicle|motorised vehicles]] when flooded during [[monsoon]]. Public transport network serving the village is non-existent apart from seasonal bus routes connecting to nearby cities of [[Manavadar]], [[Bantwa]] and [[Dhoraji]]. [[Motorcycle]]s are used for private transportation with the majority of households owning motorcycles. Three-wheeled [[Chhakdo]] rickshaws are also widely used to transport people and goods.
