About Shrirampur
Shrirampur is a city and a municipal council in Ahmednagar district in the Indian state of Maharashtra situated at 19.62 N, 74.66 E in western Maharashtra.Shrirampur is third biggest city in Ahmednagar District. Shrirampur is considered as one of the major producers of sugarcane in the sugarcane belt in the state of Maharashtra.
Shrirampur is quite new as compared to other cities. As the Central Railway (India) Daund-Manmad Line was being laid, a railway station for the village of Belapur (???????) was built nearly 6 km (3.7 mi) from the place where the station was originally planned. During this period, people (such as Gangaram Dawkhar, the first resident of Shrirampur) started living around the railway station. This area was considered as one of the major producers of sugarcane in the sugarcane belt in the state of Maharashtra. Over 10 to 15 sugarcane industries surrounded the town. People from throughout Maharashtra settled in Shrirampur. After partition, Shrirampur received many migrants from Pakistan, who opted to settle in India. As a result, non-Maharashtrian communities helped to transform this city into a major business center. The rapid growth from the 1960s to the 1980s has slowed.
