Location

Jagdishpur is situated at about 29 km from the District Headquarter Gauriganj of Amethi district on the National Highway No. 56. It is 85 km from Lucknow toward east and 50 km from Sultanpur. Nihalgarh is the railway station of Jagdishpur and is on Lucknow-Sultanpur-Varanasi route. Jagdishpur has been a major market itself and also played a role as a nodal centre for reaching to other important markets at other places. It has good road connections to the cities of Lucknow, Raebareli, Sultanpur, Varanasi, Faizabad and Pratapgarh.


During the period when prominent political personalities opted for Amethi as their parliamentary constituency (in 1980's), Jagdishpur was selected to be a most suitable place in the district for setting up heavy and medium scale industries for generating employment for locals and their multi-pronged development. Now it has become a grown up industrial area with Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., Indo-Gulf Fertilizers, Steel Authority of India Limited,Tomar building materials ,Thakur Constructions as being main establishments.

Tomar building material is the biggest building material and cemented brick shop over this area. It is owned and managed by Mr.Raj Vikram Singh . Also for transport services you can browse on the website rajvikramsingh.weebly.com.

gollark: These are hard...
gollark: - which is why I think all government workers should be randomly selected, similarly to jury duty
gollark: - which is why I think anyone in government who makes a mistake of any kind should be immediately fired
gollark: - I support an efficient and adaptable government- which is why I think we should replace all civil servants with small swarms of bees in balloons
