📍 About this Locality

Pincode 440010 covers Nagpur's most prestigious residential and educational corridor — Dharampeth, Shankar Nagar, Giripeth and the areas along the Amravati Road that house the city's professional class, educational institutions and some of Nagpur's most reputed medical and academic facilities. Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT Nagpur) — one of the National Institutes of Technology — is located in this zone, along with Nagpur University's campus.

This is where Nagpur's educated upper-middle class has established its residential presence — broad roads, bungalows, quality schools and the relatively open character that distinguishes these planned residential areas from the dense old city.
