Sherdi /ˈʃɛərdi/ is a village in Saurashtra region of Gujarat state in India. It is located in Manavadar Taluka of Junagadh district.
Sherdi Gram Panchayat is the local village council and a sarpanch serves as the head of the council, each council serves for five years. Although the village is very politically active on state and national elections, the panchayat is selected with mutual discussions and local elections are very rare.
Sherdi was entirely dependent on subsistence farming before independence of India and on commercial farming until late 60s. Agriculture is still a major employer and a major source of household income as the village greatly benefited from India's green revolution and white revolution. India's education reforms also played a vital part in the last thirty years and now many people from Sherdi are employed in services and industries all over the world. Sherdi Seva Sahkari Mandli is the village cooperative society and also operates as rations distribution centre for subsidised foods and kerosene. The society also supplies fertilizers and lends agricultural loans to its members. There are several vendors and local shops in the village selling vegetables, groceries and refreshments.
