Strategically located at Sardar Patel Ring Road, Chandkheda is a neighborhood in the Northwest  of the metropolitan city of Ahmedabad in India. It lies west to Sabarmati River, and is in  northern portion of Ahmedabad. It is situated nearby which dates back to a very long time.  Mostly populated by farmers and cattle rearers, this village is situated at a height and is thus  almost never affected by floods which usually ravage low lying areas as satellite almost every  year. Chandkhera Road Railway Station and Chandlodiya Railway Station are the very nearby  railway stations to this area. However, Ahmadabad Jn Railway Station is major railway station  near to Chandkheda. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is at brief driving distance  from this locality. A quite famous temple (Kaanch ka Mandir) is also situated here. It has  developed into a commendable residential area mostly because of the ONGC office situated  nearby. Most of the officers choose to stay in this suburb of Ahmedabad rather than in the busy  city itself. The ONGC colony is well developed and has a club, a Kendriya Vidyalaya School, a  dispensary and a stadium in addition to other facilities. The area has some cool places to hang  out like E-Fun, KM10,CCD and Farki. The newly developed CG Road (Chandkheda- Gandhinagar) road is a very posh residential area. It also boasts of the Government Engineering  College (Gandhinagar). There are several schools and educational institutes situated here. The  site of the upcoming IT Park is situated quite nearby. As a result a number of IT companies are  planning to set up their offices here. The Swaminarayan Hindu organization: BAPS held their  centenary Celebrations within Chandkheda between the days of 13 and 17 December 2007.
