Over time, Chikodi experienced growth due to its famous [[Betel|betel leaves]] and its position on major roads. Chikodi has always had strong religious ties for Jains, Hindus, Christians and Muslims. It enjoys rich cultural diversity stemming from its proximity to the state of Maharashtra. [[Kannada]] is the main language that is spoken though [[Marathi language|Marathi]] is spoken seldom too. The customs and traditions of Chikodi have been influenced by both the [[Kannada people|Kannadiga]] and [[Marathi people|Maratha]] cultures.

 ==Dispute regarding District status==
-Belagavi district is the largest district in the Karnataka so bifurcation of district is evident. Bifurcation of Belagavi district, which includes a total of 14 taluka's, has been a long pending issue. [[Government of Karnataka]] has already provided the District level offices to Chikodi which would help in the development of neighbouring talukas of Chikodi, Hukkeri, Athani, Raybag, Nipani, and Kagawad. But as of now, no decision has been made regarding bifurcation of Belagavi district and [[Government of Karnataka]] has not granted Chikodi a separate district status.
