The Bhandara Lok Sabha constituency was an integral part of the state of Maharashtra. It was after the recommendation of the Delimitation Commission of India, in the year 2002, that it ceased to exist. The constituency, was then replaced by a completely new body, known as the Gondia-Bhandara constituency. Praful Patel has been a popular figure, in this region. Also known as the district of lakes or brass city, Bhandara survives on a mixed economy, with forests, agriculture and industries, contributing towards the economy of this region. The district is also well known for the Ordnance factory, which manufactures guns for the Indian Armed Forces.
Keeping in mind the rich diversity of this region, several business enterprises have set up their factories and production houses, in this region. The region also encapsulates a beautiful colony, known as the Jawaharnagar Colony. The beautiful colony has 2 schools, Kendriya Vidyalaya Bhandara and Ordnance Factory State School. There is another Navodaya Vidyalaya (brainchild of Late Prime minister Rajiv Gandhi) in Navegoan Bandh. Ashok Leyland, a Hinduja Group Company, has a production unit at Gadegaon near Bhandara. Sunflag Iron Steel Company and Shivmangal Ispat Pvt. Ltd. are other major industrial units of this region.
The region has managed to hog the limelight, due to the CSR activities, undertaken by Praful Patel. Several PSU companies under their Corporate Social Responsibility contributed in the construction of roads, borewells, schools etc. to improve the lives of the villagers. Patel was also present for the Bumipujan, of the new constructions, that the region witnessed. Industry giants like BHEL, GAIL and MOIL were shouldering the responsibility, of getting the project exe.
cuted, within the stipulated span of time. Thus, in a nutshell,Praful Patel’s contributions, towards the overall growth of this region, can never be forgotten.
However, of what we have seen in this region, is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Patel, in one of his recent interviews also mentioned that the district of Bhandara, would be witnessing more development activities, in the years to come. The people of Bhandara had reposed enough faith in the working procedures of the minister. Least to say, Patel did not disappoint any one of them.
Similarly, even Gondia witnessed several development activities, in the last one month. Probably, these are signs of change and transformation that India needs today. For now, we can hope that the other regions of Maharashtra, are provided with similar facilities, making way for their overall growth.
