📍 About this Locality

Nagpur is the geographical centre of Bharat — a city that holds the distinction of being equidistant from the four corners of the country and has earned the title Zero Mile City. As the second capital of Maharashtra (the winter session of the Maharashtra Legislature is held here at the Vidhan Bhavan), Nagpur carries significant administrative weight alongside its commercial and cultural identity as the capital of Vidarbha.

Nagpur is synonymous with two things across Bharat: the Nagpur orange (among the finest in the country, with a GI indication) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), whose headquarters at Reshimbagh has made Nagpur the ideological centre of one of the world's largest voluntary organisations. The city also has significant industrial activity in cotton, coal (proximity to coalfields) and the growing MIHAN (Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur) project.
