Abstract: The Central Provinces District Gazetteers: Nagpur District Volume A provides a detailed account of Nagpur District, integrating historical, administrative, and socio-economic perspectives. It covers the district’s general description, history, and archaeology, alongside analyses of population trends, agriculture, and economic activities such as trade, wages, and loans. Chapters on forests and minerals highlight natural resources, while discussions on famine and land revenue systems examine vulnerabilities and governance. Supplementary materials, including an appendix, maps, photographs, and a paragraph index, enhance its utility. This volume serves as a valuable reference for historians, researchers, and planners seeking insights into Nagpur’s geography, culture, economy, and administration.
