About Jaysinghpur
Jaysingpur is a city and municipal council in the Kolhapur district of the Indian state of Maharashtra. The city derives its name from Raja Jaysing, the father of Shrimant Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur, who planned and developed the architecture of the city. Shahu Maharaj laid out Jaysingpur as one of the few "chess board cities" in Maharashtra where roads meet at 90-degree angles. Jaysingpur has emerged as a satellite of Sangli city and is growing at rapid pace.
The city was founded in 1916 and celebrated its centenary in September 2016. The city has one of the largest tobacco markets in the country, and processes tobacco and gutkhas for the surrounding region.
