History
In June 2011, Shiv Nagar, named after the Hindu god Shiva, became Snapdeal.com Nagar (nagar means town), after Snapdeal — an Indian e-commerce company — installed 15 hand pumps, so villagers no longer need to walk for miles to fetch drinking water. There had been no source of potable water in the village before. The villagers voted to name their hamlet after Snapdeal to express their gratitude.[1][2][3][4]
