Shree Mahavir Courier Branches in Gondia

About Gondia — A Brief History

Gondia sits in the far eastern corner of Maharashtra, where the state runs into Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The town and its district take their name from the Gond tribal communities who have lived in these forests and rice plains for centuries, and many of the smaller villages around Gondia still keep Gond customs, music and language alive. The Pratapgarh fort just outside the town, and old temples at Sundara and Kachargarh, mark the older history of the area.

The biggest draw of the district is the Navegaon-Nagzira Tiger Reserve, formed by joining the older Navegaon National Park and Nagzira Sanctuary. The forests here have a thriving population of tigers, leopards, sloth bears and wild dogs, and birdwatchers come for the more than 200 species of birds that visit the Navegaon lake every winter. The Itiadoh dam and the Bawanthadi reservoir also provide a steady fishing economy and a quiet alternative for visitors who want to skip the busier reserves.

The local economy runs heavily on rice Gondia is one of the biggest rice mandis in eastern Maharashtra, with hundreds of small rice mills feeding the wholesale trade. Bidi-leaf collection, tendu and minor forest produce add a strong rural layer. The Mumbai-Howrah and Nagpur–Raipur trunk railways pass through, keeping the town well connected. Shree Mahavir Courier's Gondia branches handle the daily run of rice-mill papers, forest-produce dispatch and family parcels for the town and the smaller settlements like Tirora, Goregaon, Salekasa and Sadak Arjuni every working day, with steady extra flow during the harvest months from October to February.
