Abstract


Walchandnagar is a veritable wonderland created by Seth Hirachand Walchand from out of what was virtually a wilderness ten years back. A magnificent estate comprising 17,000 acres has been built up round about the old village Kalamb in the Sholapur district of the Bombay Presidency by this inspired millionaire, Walchand, who is better known as a shipping magnate, the builder of the Hindusthan Aircraft Factory, and the manager of the Hume Pipe Co. The latest enterprise of his is in the field of radio engineering. That such a multi-sided industrialist should take to the development of agriculture on the scale noted below would come as an agreeable surprise to most of our readers.
