Nagpur is called the Orange City of India, but, another place is fast emerging as an orange hub and giving stiff competition to it. We’re talking about Chhindwara, which is now being seen as the new capital of oranges in India.
Under the leadership of 2011-batch IAS officer Saurav Kumar Suman, who is the Collector of Chhindwara, the administration has taken number of initiatives which not only boosted the farming of oranges in the district, but made local oranges a new brand and increased the export by almost four folds, thereby benefiting thousands of orange farmers. Moreover, the branding of the oranges here under the name, ‘Satpuda Oranges’, has brought great results, resulting in export figures going up.
