Seal of Nagpur ()
Ngpur pronunciation (helpinfo) Marathi:

is a city and winter capital of the state of

Maharashtra, the largest city in central India and third largest city in Maharashtra after Mumbai
and Pune. With a population of 4,653,171 (2011), Nagpur UA is the 9th largest urban
conglomeration in India,
[4]
In addition to being the seat of annual winter session of Maharashtra
state assembly "Vidhan Sabha", Nagpur is also a major commercial and political center of the
Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, and is also famous throughout the country as "Orange City" for
being a major trade center of oranges that are cultivated in the region.
[5]
In addition, the city also
derives political importance from being the headquarters for the Hindu nationalist organisation
RSS and an important location for the Dalit Buddhist movement.
Nagpur lies precisely at the center of the country with the Zero Mile Marker indicating the

Maratha Empire under the Bhonsles. The British East India Company took over Nagpur in the
19th century and made it the capital of the Central Provinces and Berar. After the first
reorganisation of states, the city lost its capital status but according to the informal "Nagpur
Pact" between political leaders it was made the second capital of Maharashtra.

[edit] Etymology


Nag River provides the etymology to the name 'Nagpur' according to a theory
The Nag River, a tributary of the Kanhan River, flows in a serpentine path and is therefore
named "Nag", the Marathi word for Cobra. According to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar people of Nagpur
belong to nag dynasty who were followers of the Buddha. And hence, the river and city is named
as Nagpur. While others says that the river flows through the old city of Nagpur and hence the
city is named after this river. "Pur" is common suffix given to cities, villages and towns across
India, and is often simply translated "city".
[7]
The seal of Nagpur Municipal Corporation depicts
a cobra in the water of a river.
[edit] History
Main article: History of Nagpur


Map of Nagpur district with major towns and rivers.
Human existence around present day Nagpur city can be traced back 3000 years to 8th century
BC. Mehir burial sites at Drugdhamna (near Mhada colony) indicate megalithic culture existed
around Nagpur and is still followed in present times.
[8]
The first reference to the name Nagpur is
found in a 10th century copper-plate inscription discovered at Devali in the neighbouring
Wardha district. The inscription is a record of grant of a village situated in the visaya (district) of
Nagpura-Nandivardhana during time of Rastrakuta king Krsna III in the Saka year 862 (940
CE).
[9]
Towards the end of third century King Vindhyasakti is known to have ruled the Nagpur
region. In the 4th century Vakataka Dynasty ruled over the Nagpur region and surrounding areas
and had good relations with the Gupta Empire. The Vakataka king Prithvisena I moved his
capital to Nagardhan (ancient name Nandivardhana), located at 28 kilometres (17 mi) from
Nagpur.
[10]
After the Vakatakas, the region came under the rule of the Hindu kingdoms of the
Badami Chalukyas, the Rashtrakutas, and finally the Yadavas. In AD 1296 Allauddin Khilji
invaded the Yadava Kingdom after capturing Deogiri, after which the Tughlaq Dynasty came to
power in 1317. In the 17th century, the Mughal Empire conquered the region; however, regional
administration was carried out by the Gond kingdom of Deogarh-Nagpur in the Chhindwara
district of the modern-day state of Madhya Pradesh.
Recent history ascribes the founding of Nagpur to Bakht Buland, a prince of the kingdom of
Deogarh-Nagpur. The next Raja of Deogarh was Chand Sultan, who resided principally in the
country below the hills, fixing his capital at Nagpur which he made a walled town. On Chand
Sultan's death in 1739, Wali Shah, an illegitimate son of Bakht Buland, usurped the throne and
Chand Sultan's widow invoked the aid of the Maratha leader Raghuji Bhonsle of Berar in the
interest of her sons Akbar Shah and Burhan Shah. The usurper was put to death and the rightful
heirs placed on the throne. After 1743, a series of Maratha rulers came to power, starting with
Raghoji Bhonsle, who conquered the territories of Deogarh, Chanda and Chhattisgarh by 1751.
In 1803 Raghoji II joined the Peshwas against the British in the Second Anglo-Maratha War, but
the British prevailed. After Raghoji II's death in 1816, his son Parsaji was deposed and murdered
by Mudhoji II. Despite the fact that he had entered into a treaty with the British in the same year,
Mudhoji joined the Peshwa in the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1817 against the British, but
suffered a defeat at Sitabuldi in present-day Nagpur city. The fierce battle was a turning point as
it laid the foundations of the downfall of the Bhonsles and paved the way for the British
acquisition of Nagpur city.
[11]
Mudhoji was deposed after a temporary restoration to the throne,
after which the British placed Raghoji III the grandchild of Raghoji II, on the throne. During the
rule of Raghoji III (which lasted till 1840), the region was administered by a British resident. In
1853, the British took control of Nagpur after Raghoji III died without leaving an heir.


Central Provinces and Berar, 1903. Princely states are shown in yellow.
From 1853 to 1861, the Nagpur Province (which consisted of the present Nagpur region,
Chhindwara, and Chhatisgarh) became part of the Central Provinces and Berar and came under
the administration of a commissioner under the British central government, with Nagpur as its
capital. Berar was added in 1903. Tata group started the country's first textile mill at Nagpur,
[12]

formally known as Central India Spinning and Weaving Company Ltd. The company was
popularly known as "Empress Mills" as it was inaugurated on 1 January 1877, the day queen
Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India.
The Non-cooperation movement was launched in the Nagpur session of 1920. The city witnessed
a HinduMuslim riot in 1923 which had profound impact on K. B. Hedgewar,
[13]
who in 1925
founded the RSS, a Hindu nationalist organisation in Nagpur with an idea of creating a Hindu
nation. After the 1927 Nagpur riots RSS gained further popularity in Nagpur and the
organisation grew nationwide.
After Indian Independence in 1947, Central Provinces and Berar became a province of India, and
in 1950 became the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, again with Nagpur as its capital. However
when the Indian states were reorganised along linguistic lines in 1956, the Nagpur region and
Berar were transferred to Bombay state, which in 1960 was split between the states of
Maharashtra and Gujarat. At a formal public ceremony on 14 October 1956 in Nagpur B. R.
Ambedkar along with his supporters converted to Buddhism starting Dalit Buddhist movement
which is still active. In 1994, the city witnessed its most violent day in modern times in form of
Gowari stampede deaths.
Nagpur completed 300 years of establishment in the year 2002. A big celebration was organised
to mark the event.

ABOUT NAGPUR IMPROVEMENT TRUST
About Trust
Chairman's Message
Board Of Trustee
Administrative
History
PREFACE
NAGPUR, the second capital of Maharashtra and the second greenest City of IndIa.
popularly known as "Orange City" IS spread across an area of 217 sq.kms. It is an
Important rail road Junction and anupcoming industrial hu~buzzing with hectic
commercial activities.

Historically the City of Nagpur was the capital of the erstwhile Central Provinces and
Berar The need for planned development of the city was felt at that time,as the
existing Municipal CommIttee was not equipped to undertake such a gigantic task
nor did it have the ability to generate the necessary funds.

With this view. The Nagpur Improvement Trust was formed by enacting Nagpur
Improvement Trust Act, 1936. Actual functioning of Nagpur Improvement Trust
started in the year 1937. The goal set before the Nagpur Improvement Trust was,to
develop new areas within the city of NagpuJto cater to the needs of the growing
population.

For proper development of the city. the Nagpur Improve:;nent Trust has powers to
form vanous types of schemes. For Implementation of these ifiChemes~;: powers of
Planning Authority as well as Development Authority are vested with the Nagpur
Improvement Trust. During the last 6 decades of its existence, Nagpur Improvement
Trust has transformed the sleepy old city Into an emergIng Metro by executing 45
development schemes whereby about 55% area of Nagpur City has beer! developed
Thesn schemes and projects undertaken by NIT, have given a face-lift to this historic
City. The implemented projects have Impr'oved the urban environment of the City
and upgraded the existing Infrastructure. adequate enough to meet the growing
demands of rapid urbanlsatlon and Increasing population. Now the State Govt. of
Maharashtra vide G.R. dated 24.12.2002 has extended the jurisdIction of NIT
beyond the Municipal limits of Nagpur over an area that constitutes the Metro
Region thereby widening the scope of its work.

Because of the small size of the managing body of Nagpur Improvement Trust, the
decIsion-making IS speedy and effective which is the hallmark of any dynamic
institution. Unlike other InstitutionS managed by the State Government, NIT does
not receive any grant whatsoever ,from the State Government As a result, there is
no financial burden on the State Government on account of NIT.

Over the last six decades. the City has got the much needed face lift owIng to the all
round eHorts put In by Nagpur Improvement Trust. This information book is a
humble attempt on our part to bnef the readers about various schemes that have
been successfully planned and executed by NIT so far.

NIT - The Scope
As the Planning Authority and Development Authority for the entire Nagpur
Metropolitan region, NIT's jurisdiction touches all aspects of the city's development.

NIT is the sole authority for land Planning and land Acquisition and is responsible for
infrastructure such as roads. streetlights. drainage & sewerage systems and public
utilities to meet the diverse needs of the citizens.

Working:

As per the Provisions of Section 27 of the act, NIT is empowered to plan and execute various
development schemes. An improvement scheme shall be one of the following types or may
combine any two or more of such types, or any of the special features there of, that is to say,

(a) a general improvement scheme;

(b) a re-building scheme;

(c) a re-housing scheme;

(d) a street scheme;

(e) a deferred street scheme;

(f) a development scheme;

(g) a housing accommodation scheme;

[(h) a future expansion or improvement scheme] ;

[(i) a drainage or drainage including sewage disposal scheme.]

Thus the Nagpur Improvement Trust has played a major role in changing the visage of the
city. By playing a crucial role in area planning and development. the NIT primarily undertook
to plan and execute development of various pockets of the city. It has been a relentless
forging ahead on this front single-handedly for the NIT for the past 65 years.

Section 57 of the act provides for the handing over of layouts developed by NIT to NMC for
maintenance. Section 57 is reproduced below for quick reference:
-
57 Whenever the Trust is satisfied

a) that any street laid out or altered by the Trust has been duly levelled, paved, metalled,
flagged, channelled, sewered, and drained in the manner provided in the plans sanctioned by
the (State)Government under this act, and

b) that such lamps, lamp-posts, and the other apparatus as the Trust may consider necessary
for the lighting of such streets have been so provided, and

c) that water and the other sanitary conveniences ordinarily provided (in the city) have been
duly provided in such street.

the Trust may call upon (the Corporation) by a notice in writing, to take over the management
of such street within a period specified in the notice, which shall not be less than one month
and, on -receiving such a notice (the Corporation) shall, subject to the provisions of sub-
section (3) by a ,i written notice affixed in some conspicuous place in such street, declare the
street to be a public street; and the street shall thereupon vest in (the Corporation) and shall
henceforth be maintained, kept in repair, lighted and cleansed by (the Corporation);

2) When any open space for purposes of ventilation or recreation has been provided by the
Trust in executing any improvement scheme, it shall on completion, be transferred to (the
Corporation) by a resolution of the Trust and shall thereupon vest in, and be maintained at the
expenses of (the Corporation); provided that (the Corporation) may require the Trust, before
any such open space is so transferred, to enclose, level, drain and layout such space and
provide footpaths therein.

3) I f any difference of opinion arises between the Trust and (the Corporation) in respect of
any matter referred to in the foregoing provisions of this sections, the matter shall be referred
to the (State) Government, whose decision shall be final.

4) The (State) Government may resume the management of any street or open space (..... )
vested in the Trust under clause (b) of sub-section of section 45.
The Constitution of NIT
As the end result of the sustained endeavour of the NIT is to better the life of the denizens. its
Constitution too aims at making it more people-oriented. As per the provisions of the NIT Act.
the management and working of NIT has been entrusted to a Board of Trustees. A senior IAS
Officer of the rank of Secretary or Commissioner heads the Board as its Chairman. This
Chairman is a State-Government appointee.

Other Members of the board are:

1. Commissioner, NMC. Nagpur Ex-officio Member.

2. Deputy Director. Town Planning. Nagpur Division Ex-officio Member.

3. Chairman. Standing Committee. NMC Ex-officio Member.

4. A Corporator elected by NMC.

.5. A member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly who is a resident of Nagpur City.

6. Three members appointed by the State Government.

Thus it can be seen that the provisions ensure that there is adequate participation of
people's representatives in the work of the NIT. The Constitution has made the NIT
accountable to the public at different levels. The appointment of three NMC members
to the Board is yet another progressive step towards this.

Working of NIT :
As per the provisions of the land Acquisition Act, 1894 the acquisition and disposal of
land by agreement or compulsory acquisition is carried out by NIT in the following
manner.

NIT outlines schemes and sends the same to the Government for their sanction. On obtaining
the required sanction, NIT acquires the land as per the identified areas to execute
development work in the layouts as per the scheme chalked out. The plots in
the developed layouts are then sold by NIT by auction. Revenue generated through the
auctioning of plots in the developed layouts constitutes NIT's major source of funds
which are utilised for carrying out various activities.

Part of the acquired land is retained by NIT and developed for public utility, open spaces, civic
amenities etc. Public utility land areas are also allotted to public -institutions by NIT on
concessional rates thereby contributing to social welfare.

Community Welfare

NIT also distributes significant part of the acquired land to economically weaker sections of
society at nominal rates. 20,000 plots have been distributed so far under NIT's scheme of
land Distribution for community welfare.

Since its inception, NIT has functioned as the backbone of city planning. Due to the land
Planning and Development function effectively carried out by NIT over the past 6 decades,
Nagpur has emerged as one of the most well planned cities. Nagpur is probably the only city

The Planning Process
1.1 History Of Nagput City
1.1.1 Nagpur witnessed the ups and downs of the Gond and Bhosale
region and enjoyed the status of city since Gond King and Raje Bakht
Buland Shah upto middle of 18th century. It was the capital of erstwhile
center provinces and Berar and Madhya Pradesh upto 1960. Thereafter

IGGMC


HOSPITAL-IGGMC
Modernization &
Renovation Of
Indira Gandhi Medical
College & Hospital,
Nagpur
Indira Gandhi Medical College &
Hospital was originally known as
Mayo Hospital was established in
the year 1862. It was a landmark &
provided for Medical services, which
were the best in its time. In 1914 to
further the cause of Medical
Education the Robertson Medical
School was opened

In 1967 Corporation Medical
College was establish which was
transferred to the Government in
1981 and was renamed as Indira
Gandhi Medical College. Now it has
a identity as Indira Gandhi
Government Medical College &
Hospital.

Most of the original structures
continued and are still used to impart
Medical Education even though they
are now in a pathetic structural state
and offer no qualitative elements as
is required for education. The overall
environment is depressing & defeats
the very essence of education, as it
inspires none. Faculty, staff &
students who are in the noble
profession of imparting Health
education & service to overcome
pain continue to suffer & bear the
pathetic & unhealthy built
environment. So much so that it is
hard to identify any part which can
be restored thus overruling any
possibility of restoration.

One visit would highlight the poor &
unhygienic condition, delinking of
interrelated service, overcrowding,
chaos, unplanned growth, etc. can
only make one ponder with disbelief
the state in which Modern Health
Service & Education is being
imparted.

Though the student intake was
increased to 100 from 60 in 1988,
subsequent inspection by the
medical Council of India (MCI) the
issue and gave time for up gradation.
Subsequent delays led them to issue
a strong objection & final strictures
for the same.

The Government appointed the
Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) as
a nodal agency vide GR dated
17.05.03 and handed over the paper
possession of 42.5 acres of land. A
MOU was signed between NIT &
IGMC. Accordingly. NIT had to
develop and build the total
infrastructure by raising finance
through the commercial potential of
the land.

However subsequent study &
measurement showed that the total
area available for development was
39.26 acres instead of 42,5 acres as
was originally assumed. The 25 acre
land required for the Medical
Hospital & College could not be
reduced due to norms of MCI of
shortfall had to be absorbed in the
commercial area, thus reducing its
potential & subsequently a deficit of
60 crore plus was estimated.

Many alternative possibilities were
studied & one alternative was to
overcome the deficit was to combine
5 acre of Ajni land with this proposal
for commercial/residential
exploitation.

Finally the Hon Chief Minster who
heads the cabinet Infrastructure
Committee gave his approval during
the meeting held on 24.11.06 The
decisions were as following:-

1. BOT offers will be invited for
construction of the total Hospital &
College complex as per design of
NIT.
2. BOT operator will be allowed to
utilize commercial space to be built
on 11.4 acres of land & additional 5
acre of Ajni land for Commercial
/residential complex.
