Fatepura Taluka of Dahod district is one of the most backward Taluka in India. Fatepura taluka is located in north-western part of the district, on the border of Rajasthan. Most of the area of this Taluka is rural of which 93.04% of the population belong to the tribal Bhil community. the historical point of view, more than 1700 tribal were martyrdom here in Mangadh under the leadership of Shree Govind Guru in 1913 A.D.

In 2001 the education ratio of this area was 47.01% since there is no college in the entire taluka and the students may not deprived of higher education for the development of this area in the field of education. Shree Sumrandasji decided to establish a college here in the year 2000 A.D. At that time M.L.A. and Minister of Gujarat Gov. Shree Jasvantsinh Bhabhor established “Arts College Fatepura” under the trust of ‘Shree Gujarat Rajya Akhil Gramya Kabir Vikas Mandal, Dasa” to fulfil his father’s determination
