History
The township was built in the late 1970s for housing the employees of The Fertilizer Corporation of India Limited's, Urea production plant. Production of Urea has been suspended from 1 April 1999 due to non-availability of sufficient budgetary support from government of India. The majority of employees were released on Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) in the year 2002-03. Remaining employees were dismissed during the year 2003-04. Now only a few are on the payroll of the Corporation to look after the safety and security of the properties and discharge the statutory obligations of the Company.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
