==Growth of Diamond Industry at Varachha==

[[File:Diamond Polisher.jpg|thumb|right|[[File:Rough diamonds getting checked for quality at one of 64Facets’ facilities.jpg|thumb]]Diamond polisher]]
Varachha area is a major hub of diamond cutting and polishing.<ref name=roughpolished>{{cite news|title=Indian diamond cutting and polishing sector|url=http://www.rough-polished.com/en/analytics/77889.html|agency=Rough&Polished|date=March 6, 2013}}</ref> The major group working in this industry is people from the [[Saurashtra region]] of Gujarat. Because of demand in the American market from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s (with only a brief recession in 1979), Surat's diamond industry grew tremendously. Currently most of the diamond polishing workshops are running in the Varachha area of Surat, mostly by the people of the [[Patel]] community.<ref name=diamondhistory>{{cite document|title=Diamond and Patels|citeseerx = 10.1.1.1026.5615}}</ref> Eight from ten diamond of world are polished in Surat city.
