Neemuch[1] or Nimach is a town in the Malwa region in state of Madhya Pradesh, India. Neemuch shares its northeastern border with state of Rajasthan. It is the administrative headquarters of Neemuch District. Nimach is an abbreviation of "North India Mounted Artillery & Cavalry Headquarters".[citation needed] Formerly a large British cantonment of Gwalior princely state, the town in 1822 became the headquarters of the combined Rajputana–Malwa political agency and of the Malwa Agency in 1895. British Cantonment was disbanded in 1932, then the Cantonment area was maintained by British Municipal Board. It is the birthplace of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in 1939. The town hosts a large scale recruit training center for CRPF, and still maintains part of Neemuch's British Military Cantonment - European troops area, first one of its kind in India. Bungalow area, Native troops area, Bazar area and Fields & Gardens were maintained initially by Municipal Board then by Municipal Council. After Independence Neemuch City and Baghana area were included in the Municipal area. Neemuch is known as India's Eye donation capital as it accounts for the highest per capita eye donation rate in the country. Neemuch has been known for the production of opium, through the government-owned Opium and Alkaloid Works. It is a road junction and distribution centre for agricultural products. Handloom weaving is the major industry here.

History

The city site was the location of a palace in the district of the Ajmer. Originally a part of the territory of Malwa, it was given to the Rana in 1768 to pay off debts incurred by the rana (king) of Mewar. After that it became a British cantonment of the Gwalior princely state, except for short periods in 1794 and 1844 and 1965.[2] The Neemuch cantonment played a significant role in the Great Revolt of 1857-1858 and was the centre of disturbance in Malwa.

In 1857, Neemuch was the most southerly place to which the Mutiny extended. A brigade of native Bengal troops were stationed at Neemuch, then mutinied and marched to Delhi. European officers took refuge in the fort, and were later besieged by a rebel force from Mandasor. The Europeans defended the city until relieved by the Malwa field force. Since 1895 Neemuch has been the headquarters of the political agent in Malwa,a subdivision of the British Central India Agency.

The myth besides the name Neemuch is that some people think that the name Neemuch is given to this city because large number of neem trees are found here. Another myth is that the first people of this city were of cast Meena and due to this the city first got it name Meenuch and over the years the name has changed to Neemuch.

Besides, Nimach is well known for the its special Moharram processions of Tazia. The tradition of Tazia procession is almost 150 years old. This is an occasion when all the people, be it any community, come together. This procession commomorates the matyerdom of Imam Hussain (A.S.) in the battle field of Karbala holding the cause of Humanity and Righteousness in his stead.

The city is famous for the five religious melas (fairs) held there annually. There are colleges affiliated with Vikram University. Places of interest include the temple of Bhadwamata, with a beautiful image of Vishnu in black stone. Near the city is Barukhera, with its skillfully constructed shrines. Numerous other temples were constructed in the region by the Jain community that once lived there. The surrounding country was once famous as a tiger-hunting area
