Junagadh district covers approximately 8,839 square kilometres across fourteen talukas including Junagadh, Keshod, Mangrol, Mendharda, Vanthali, Visavadar, Bhesan, Manavadar, and others. After the bifurcation that created Gir Somnath district in 2013, Junagadh district’s area reduced, but the city of Junagadh remains a major commercial and educational hub for western Saurashtra. The city is home to Junagadh Agricultural University, the Junagadh District Court, and several government colleges affiliated to Saurashtra University.

Junagadh Agricultural University (JAU), established in 1972, conducts research in groundnut, cotton, cumin, and mango cultivation — crops central to Saurashtra’s agricultural economy — and recruits scientists, assistant professors, and field extension officers regularly through ICAR-funded programmes. Mangrol taluka on the coast has a thriving fishing community with Gujarat Fisheries Department officers stationed here for harbour management and fish inspection duties. Keshod has a small domestic airport operated by AAI (Airports Authority of India) which is a source of central government employment for air traffic and ground handling staff.

The Girnar hill range within Junagadh taluka is a protected forest zone and wildlife sanctuary jointly managed by the Gujarat Forest Department and the Junagadh Wildlife Circle — generating forest guard, eco-tourism guide certification, and warden recruitment unique to this geographic pocket. Junagadh Municipal Corporation also runs periodic recruitment for health, engineering, and administrative staff for its urban civic functions. India Post’s Junagadh division recruits Gramin Dak Sevaks for its extensive rural delivery network across the district’s villages and hamlets.
