Nagpur division

Nagpur division is an administrative region in eastern Maharashtra comprising six districts that function as separate administrative units. The area includes both urban centers and rural zones, with varying landscapes from forests to agricultural plains.

This administrative region was formed during the British colonial period in the 19th century through the consolidation of several separate territories. The reorganization created a governance structure that has remained fundamentally unchanged since its establishment.

The region is home to communities who speak Marathi and Hindi in their daily lives, alongside tribal languages that shape local customs. Markets and festivals here reflect these different traditions through crafts, celebrations, and the way people gather in public spaces.

The main administrative headquarters is located in Nagpur city, which serves as the central point for administrative functions. Those seeking local government services or information can find administrative offices concentrated in this urban center.

Gadchiroli district within this region contains extensive forest areas where indigenous communities have lived for generations. These groups practice a blend of traditional forest-based ways with modern conservation approaches in their daily lives.
