Nestled on the banks of the eternal [[Ganga]], Kanpur stands as one of [[North India]]’s major industrial centers with its own historical, religious and commercial importance. Formerly known as Manchester of the country & is now also called the commercial capital of the state. The main aim of KDA is to build different real estate projects in Kanpur city to prove the best planned city in India. Again the home loan facility in India has made every one easy to purchase the properties.
It has an area of over 1600&nbsp;km² and had a population of around 4.13 million in the 2001 census. Owing to its industrial importance one of the [[Reserve Bank of India]] was established in the city. Kanpur is home to several most prestigious educational institutions of the country, including one of the [[IIT-K|Indian Institutes of Technology]], [[Harcourt Butler Technological Institute]] (HBTI), [[CSJM University]], [[University Institute of Engineering and Technology]], [[Chandrashekhar Azad Agricultural University]], and [[GSVM Medical College]].
Kanpur is well-connected with most other cities of India by Rail and Roads. It lies as one of the most important railway stations on [[Delhi-Howrah Trunk Line]] of Indian Railways. The first [[Shatabdi Express]] and [[Rajdhani Expres]]s of India ran via this station. There are direct trains from this station to almost all important stations in India.
The city lies on important National Highways. NH No.2, the oldest road of India, Grand Trunk Road - between [[Amritsar]] (legend says - [[Kabul]] before partition) to [[Kolkata]] (legend again says - [[Dhaka]] before partition) - runs right through this city.
