Contents PREFACE

By its very nature a supplementary is not something new but rather an adjunct or continuation of the parent Volume. Supplements were issued from time to time to the Gazetteer Volumes published in the old series. The object of issuing such supplements to District Gazetteers is to update the statistical data contained in the parent volume.

The second revised edition of the Nagpur District Gazetteer was published in 1966 by the Gazetteers Department. The present volume is intended to supplement the information contained in the revised edition by more recent statistics. Every attempt has been made to bring the statistical data up-to-date as possible.
