Surat Agency
The Surat Agency was a political agency of British India that supervised a group of small princely states in southern Gujarat, among them Dharampur, Bansda and Sachin, through a British political agent based at Surat. Its states were later grouped in the Gujarat States Agency, and after Indian independence they acceded to India and merged into Bombay State.
