Rahiyad is a village located in Bharuch district of Gujarat, India with a population of around 379 people according to the 2011 census. The village was established around 300 years ago and the main occupation of villagers was previously farming. However, most of the agricultural land was acquired for an industrial estate in 2008, leaving many villagers unemployed. To generate sustainable livelihoods, proposals have been made for projects like vermicomposting, pisciculture using the local pond, and improving basic infrastructure like roads, drainage and electricity in the village. These projects aim to provide employment and skills training to villagers using local resources and with government support.
