NAGPUR -
THE TIGER CAPITAL OF INDIA

Nagpur the 'Orange City' is also called as the 'Tiger Capital' or Tiger gateway of India' as it connects six Tiger Reserves of India to the world. Nagpur is precisely located at the centre of the country with the Zero Mile Marker indicating the Geographical centre of India. Nagpur is well connected with all parts of the country with road, rail and air. During the British regime from 1900, the city was the capital of the central province comprising present-day Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and parts of Maharashtra. Post-independence it was annexed to the State of Maharashtra and was identified as the State's second capital, the winter capital of Maharashtra. Deekshabhoomi located in Nagpur is regarded as a sacred place, a Prernabhoomi (inspiring land) of social revolution and the first pilgrimage centre of Ambedkarite Buddhism in India. Nagpur is also a Head Quarter of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Nagpur is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. It is a major commercial hub, home to some of the famous pharmaceutical firms like Baidyanath & Vicco, snacks manufacturer Haldiram, icecream maker Dinshaw as the list goes on.
