About Nagpur — A Brief History

Nagpur sits at the geographical centre of India, on the Nag river that gives the city its name. The town began as a Gond settlement, came under the Bhonsles of Nagpur in the early eighteenth century, and grew under their rule into the capital of a wide kingdom that stretched into modern Chhattisgarh and Odisha. The British took Nagpur after the second Anglo-Maratha war and made it the headquarters of the Central Provinces and Berar, leaving behind the broad colonial plan of the Civil Lines, the High Court and Nagpur University.

Most people in the country know Nagpur for its oranges, with the Nagpur Santra (Nagpur orange) earning a Geographical Indication tag and going out to fruit markets across India and abroad. The city is also the second capital of Maharashtra and the seat of the winter session of the state legislature, and the headquarters of the RSS, founded here in 1925, lies in the Mahal area. Deekshabhoomi, where Dr. B.R. Ambedkar formally embraced Buddhism with thousands of his followers in 1956, is one of the largest stupas in India and a major Buddhist pilgrimage site.

The local economy mixes oranges, cotton and a growing aerospace and IT belt around the MIHAN special economic zone near the airport. The Nagpur Metro, the Samruddhi expressway to Mumbai and the city's central position on the Indian railway map make it one of the busiest logistics hubs in central India. Shree Mahavir Courier's Nagpur branches handle the heavy daily flow of trade papers, court documents, university mail and family parcels for the city and the smaller towns of Kamptee, Hingna, Saoner and Umred every working day.
