        abstract = {Saurashtra, also known as the Kathiawar Peninsula, occupies a significant position in the western part of India, surrounded by the Arabian Sea on three sides. Historically, the region consisted of numerous princely states such as Bhavnagar, Junagadh, Gondal, Porbandar, and Jamnagar, each functioning with political autonomy during the colonial period. Due to its fragmented political structure and semi-arid geography, the development of modern transport systems in Saurashtra faced unique challenges. Before the advent of railways, transportation relied heavily on bullock carts, camel caravans, and coastal shipping, which were slow and inefficient for large-scale trade and administrative integration.},
