Patidar means "owner of land". ‘PATI’ means land and ‘DAR’ means the person who owns it. In Mehamdavad, Kheda district, around 1700.A.D., the ruler of Gujarat, Mohammed Begdo, selected the best farmer from each village and gave them land for cultivation. In return, the Patidar would pay the ruler a fixed income for a certain period, after which, the Patidar would acquire the ownership of the land. The Patidars would hire a hardworking and knowledgeable work force to cultivate the land and in due course of time, they would become the owners of the land. These Patidars were from then onwards identified as Patel Patidars.

The History proves that the Patidars are very hard working, enterprising, and very resourceful people who do not wait for an opportunity, rather creates one and makes success for it.
