Nagpur

Nagpur is a major commercial and political hub in central India, serving as the second capital of Maharashtra state. Often called the "Orange City" for its significant citrus trade, it’s a rapidly developing urban centre projected to be among the world’s fastest-growing cities in the coming decades. Expect a blend of traditional Indian life with increasing modernization, as Nagpur actively participates in India’s Smart City initiative.

Beyond its economic growth, Nagpur holds cultural significance as a key location for both the Dalit Buddhist movement – home to the important Deekshabhoomi – and the headquarters of the RSS. Recent surveys consistently rank Nagpur highly for livability, greenery, and healthcare, and it’s noted as one of India’s safest cities for women. It offers a relatively affordable cost of living and a central location for exploring the Vidarbha region.
