Third largest city of the Indian state of Maharashtra

Nagpur is the winter capital, a sprawling metropolis and the third largest city of the Indian state of Maharashtra after Mumbai and Pune. Nagpur is 13th largest city in terms of population in India. It is the largest city of central India and has one of the highest literacy rates, at 91.92%, among all the urban agglomerations in India. It has been proposed as one of the Smart Cities in Maharashtra.

Nagpur is the seat of the annual winter session of the Maharashtra state assembly, “Vidhan Sabha”. It is a major commercial and political centre of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. In addition, the city derives political importance from being the headquarters for the Hindu nationalist organisation RSS and an important location for the Dalit Buddhist movement. Nagpur is also known for Deekshabhoomi, the largest hollow stupa among all the Buddhist stupas in the world. Here Dr. B. R. Ambedkar along with nearly 500,000 followers converted to Buddhism. This was one of the first mass religious conversions in the history of India.

It is famous for the Nagpur orange and is known as the “Orange City” for being a major trade centre of oranges cultivated in the region. The city was founded in 1703 by the Gonds King Bakht Buland Shah of Deogarh and later became a part of the Maratha Empire under the royal Bhonsale dynasty. The British East India Company took over Nagpur in the 19th century and made it the capital of the Central Provinces and Berar. After the first reorganisation of states, the city lost its status as the capital. Following the informal “Nagpur Pact” between political leaders, it was made the second capital of Maharashtra.

Nagpur was the capital of Central & Berar Province for 100 years and after the State Reorganisation, in 1956, Nagpur and Vidarbha region become part of the new Maharashtra State. According to the Nagpur Pact, Nagpur is the second capital of Maharashtra and the winter session of state legislature and the state legislative council takes place in Vidhan Bhavan, Nagpur.

For sufficient lighting purpose, four high masts were fixed in the vicinity of lake. Two colored fountains of 15 feet and one white and fountain of 100 feet, as such total three floating fountains were set up in lake . The work of Immersion Ghat with three ramps on South side and guard wall of lake with sand beach on North side was also done in the same phase.

In the second phase of beautification, road berms were cleaned and interlocking paving blocks were fixed on road Hanuman Temple to Futala Lake and surrounding triangular land in front of Temple.

Why is Nagpur called the zero mile centre?

July 5, 2017

Zero Mile Stone is a monument locating the geographical centre of colonial India in the city of Nagpur, Maharashtra. The Zero Mile Stone was erected by the British who used this point to measure all the distances. The Zero Mile Stone consists of four horses and a pillar made up of sandstone. In 2008, The Times of India undertook to maintain the monument for the next 5 years.

It is located on the south east of Vidhan Bhavan, Nagpur.

The British rulers considered Nagpur to be the centre of India and hence identified this point and constructed the Zero Mile Stone. Earlier India was divided into provinces and Nagpur was the capital of CP & Berar Province. Later when states were created, Nagpur was incorporated into Maharashtra, and as Nagpur had been the capital of CP & Berar, even though it was geographically shifted to Maharashtra, the status of second capital was granted to Nagpur.it is also known as capital of Vidarbha.

Ganesh Tekdi Mandir is believe to be about 250 years old. The temple started out with being an ordinary tin shed with the idol. In the 1970s, the army took possession of this structure and improved it but the main change came in 1978. The construction of the temple was taken up as a big project and devotees donated generously to help the process. The present-day structure got shape in 1984.It was accomplished by the late Shri Ganpatrao Joshi and a few other devotees. As time passed by, it was realised that the temple premises could not accommodate the large number of devotees.

The idol of the temple, which is about four feet tall is believed to be swayambhu (self-existent). It is said that originally the idol was very small in shape, but gradually it grew bigger and bigger, increasing in size. The idol is is beautifully adorned with several golden and silver ornaments at the forehead.

Make In India: Nagpur, CM Fadnavis’ hometown, emerges as the new investment destination

July 5, 2017

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ hometown Nagpur appears to have taken a big leap forward towards the goal of becoming an investment hub. During the recently-concluded Make in India Week, the city attracted commitments in all major sectors — electronics, textile, defence, infrastructure, agro-industries etc.

The orange city, which has been reeling in the shadow of an agrarian crisis with Vidarbha registering the highest number of farmer suicides, is being promoted by the Centre and the state to draw greater investments both global and domestic.

At the Make in India Week-2016, Nagpur emerged as one of the most sought-after destinations after Mumbai, Pune, Nashik and Auranbagad, with private players keen on industrial growth in diverse sectors. Under the state government’s Make in Maharashtra drive, Nagpur will be developed an electronics hub.

Fadnavis said, “The Nagpur-Mumbai Super Communication Highway project will be a game-changer as it will not only uplift the farmers in Vidarbha but also bring economic prosperity through development in North Maharashtra and Marathwada.” The Rs 30,000-crore project will make the road travel between Nagpur and Mumbai possible in eight hours. Industry representatives, when spoken to, said they found Nagpur well connected, though it required rapid growth in infrastructure and hospitality.

With an impetus on the airport infrastructure sector, the Nagpur airport has been listed for further expansion into an international airport, apart from Mumbai and Pune. The chief minister said, “The land for second Pune airport will be approved in a few months. The Navi Mumbai airport will be completed in 2019.”

At present, the total traffic handled by three international and seven domestic airports works to 35 million people, of which the maximum load is in on Mumbai and Pune (31 million). There are plans to begin short-distance flights on Mumbai-Nashik, Mumbai-Nanded and other routes with private partnership.

In the last six decades, the maximum industrial development in Maharashtra was confined to the golden corridor of Mumbai-Pune-Nashik. Auranbagad has emerged in the last decade. Attempts to develop Nagpur have not made much headway despite Butibori being an industrial hub. At the successive meetings to discuss Make in India and Make in Maharashtra drives, the state government has told the investors to explore new avenues to ensure regional development. Unlike in Mumbai, Pune, land is not an issue in Nagpur, which is rich in coal and minerals.

Work on the Metro Rail project is on in full swing in Nagpur. It will have two corridors, 38.2 km in length, and will provide jobs to 1,700 people. While Mumbai already made its Metro operational, the Pune project is under way. Nagpur is also a part of the auto hub along with Mumbai, Nashik, Pune and Aurangabad.

Fadnavis said he believed greater investments would be attracted by narrowing down the distances. Barely a two hours’ drive from Nagpur is Amravati city, which is evolving as the country’s largest textile hub. The Centre and the state have announced a slew of concessions to promote the textile sector not only in Amravati but across others hubs. It includes 5-7 per cent subsidy for all new projects and 10 per cent capital subsidy for any new project in Vidarbha and Marathwada. The Centre will grant 40 per cent of the project cost or a maximum of Rs 40 crore for new projects.

The Centre, which has opened up foreign investment in defence manufacturing, has also identified Nagpur among the defence hubs along with Mumbai, Nashik, Pune and Aurangabad. The list of players ready to invest in defence hubs include Wipro, HAL, Tata, Kirloskar, Bharat Forge, L&T and Centum Electronics.
