With a population of 46,53,171 (2011), Nagpur is the 9th largest urban conglomeration in India. It has also recently been ranked as the second greenest city of India after Bangalore. In addition to being the seat of annual Winter Session of Maharashtra State assembly "VidhanSabha", Nagpur is also a major commercial and political center of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. It is also famous as "Orange City" for being a major trade center of oranges that are cultivated in the region. Nagpur lies on the Deccan plateau of the Indian Peninsula and has a mean altitude of 310 meters above sea level. Nagpur lies precisely at the center of the country with the Zero Mile Marker indicating the geographical center of India. The city was founded by the Gonds but later it became part of the Maratha Empire under the Bhonsles. The British East India Company took over Nagpur in the 19th century and made it the capital of the Central Provinces and Berar. After the first re-organization of states, the city lost its capital status but according to the informal "Nagpur Pact" between political leaders it was made the second capital of Maharashtra. Nagpur is also declared as "Tiger Capital of India” being gate way to many Tiger Reserves in India.
