Modern Baroda is a great and fitting memorial to its late ruler, Sayaji Rao Gaekwad III (1875-1939 AD). It was his dream to make Baroda an educational, industrial and commercial centre. Baroda is situated on the banks of the river Vishwamitri (whose name is derived from the great saint Rishi Vishwamitra). The people of Baroda like to tell visitors that their city is a "Sanskari Nagari", i.e. a "cultured city". The city does indeed have rich cultural traditions. And today"s Barodians have quite a full and hectic cultural life throughout the year. The Barodian is open to the world and overflowing with hospitality, as the history and growth of the city aptly testify. The rapid industrialisation of Baroda has attracted entrepreneurs not only from Baroda but also from all over Gujarat and India. Looking at the cultural background and a speed at which the city was progressing, Monginis felt a need to be present there and began its operations in the year 2000.
