History
The petty princely state, in Sorath prant, was ruled by Jivku aughad vala . Kathi Chieftains. Jivku aughad vala was the ruler of Jamka. He was a very pious and emotional man. He was served by a very clever and loyal administrator Premji nathu Kamdar (Vyas). Jivku aughad vala was slaughtered due to royal rivalery . After this mishappening Premji nathu vyas (Kamdar )protected the heir of the king and ruled on his behalf for 18 years . For this bravery and faithfulness towards the kingdom and the royalty he was awarded half of the kingdom. In 1901 it comprised only the single village, with a population of 601, yielding 15,000 Rupees state revenue (1903–04, less than half from land), paying 185 Rupees tribute to the Gaekwad Baroda State.[1]
