History

The first reference to the name Nagpur is found in a 10^th 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). ^[11][12] However, tradition ascribes the founding of Nagpur to Bakht Buland, a prince of the Gond kingdom of Deogarh in the Chhindwara district. In 1743, the Maratha leader Raghoji Bhonsle of Vidarbha established himself at Nagpur, after conquering the territories of Deogarh, Chanda and Chhattisgarh by 1751. After Raghoji's death in 1755, his son and successor Janoji was forced to acknowledge the effective supremacy of the Maratha Peshwa of Pune in 1769. Regardless, the Nagpur state continued to grow. Janoji's successor Mudhoji I (d. 1788) came to power in 1785 and bought Mandla and the upper Narmada valley from the Peshwa between 1796 and 1798, after which Raghoji II (d. 1816) acquired Hoshangabad, the larger part of Saugor and Damoh. Under Raghoji II, Nagpur covered what is now the east of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, and parts of Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand.

Metropolitan

Despite its high population and commercial importance, Nagpur has a poor public transport system. Buses, which are directly operated by the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation, number 173 for the entire rural and urban area (according to the Hitavada, Sept., 2006). Such a small number of buses results in unreliable services. Six-sitter auto-rikshaws, which were becoming popular as a cheap mode of transport, were banned from plying on city roads by a high court order in 2006, leaving only the expensive 3 sitter auto-rikshaws available as a means of public transport. The proposed integrated bus and monorail project that is to be implemented in the next five to six years could potentially improve the situation.
