About Central India & The Gangetic Plains
History
The Bhimbetka caves show evidence of paleolithic settlements in present-day Madhya Pradesh. Stone age tools have also been discovered at various places along the Narmada river valley. During the early Vedic period, the Vindhya mountains formed the southern boundary of the Indo-Aryan territory. The territory that now comprises the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh were ruled by numerous princes who entered into a subsidiary alliance with the British.
The flat and fertile terrain of Gangetic plains has facilitated the repeated rise and expansion of various empires, including the Maurya Empire, Gupta Empire, Delhi Sultanates, the Mughal Empire, and the Maratha Empire. During the Vedic eras of Indian history, this region was referred to as “Aryavarta” (Land of the Aryans).
Terrain
Central India has the Gangetic plains to the north and the Deccan Plateau in the south. It consists of two plateaus, Malwa and the Chhota Nagpur plateau, with an average elevation of 500 – 700 metres. The area straddles the Narmada River, which runs east and west between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges; these ranges and the Narmada are the traditional boundaries between the north and south of India. The highest point is Dhupgarh, with an elevation of 1,350 m.
The Gangetic plains is the world’s most extensive expanse of uninterrupted alluvium formed by the deposition of silt by the numerous rivers. The plains are one of the world’s most intensely farmed areas, and rank among the world’s most densely populated areas.
Roads
Central India has a roadways network that comprises national highways, state highways, district roads, and other types of roads. It is home to 14 national highways spanning 4676 km and various state highways with an overall span of 8728 km. It is a trendsetter in the country in terms of execution of the Union Government’s plan to extend the roadway network to the villages.
