It is good to see wide & smooth roads in Nagpur. One can thoroughly enjoy driving a car in Nagpur. You don’t have to face mind boggling traffic jams of big cities. There is a sea change in infrastructure of Nagpur. Thanks to Mr. Chandrashekhar, Ex commissioner of Nagpur. Many pvt engg colleges & good restaurants are available in Nagpur city now. But I have only lament that it is lagging behind in speed in industrial progress as compared to cities like Mumbai & Pune. Very few job opportunities are available in software & other industries. State govt. has to give tax concessions for development of industries in Vidarbha region. Vidarbha could not get benefits from central govt meant for backward state as Vidharbha falls in progressive state of Maharashtra. Secondly state govt do not give any tax concessions for industrial development. Nagpur could not get any IIT or IIM as Central govt has adopted the policy of one institute for one state.
After a long gap , I heard the good news about Nagpur that a Nagpurian , Mr. Nitin Gadkari has become the BJP president. I think before him, Mr. Vasant Sathe & Mr. A.B. Bardhan are the only Nagpurians who have made marks in National politics.
Nagpur is famous for many things like oranges, RSS center & kind hearted people. Last but not least Nagpur is a important place for me because Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar has embraced Buddhism along with his followers in Nagpur.
