Each taluk in Rajkot District is headed by a Tahsildar (also called Taluk Officer or Revenue Officer), who serves as the primary administrative authority at the sub-district level.

The taluk office (Taluk/Tehsil/Mandal office) is where citizens interact most frequently with the government for day-to-day administrative needs.
