"'Encyclopaedia of Cities and Towns in India' is a voluminous work giving authentic urban information about all 28 states and 7 union territories covering 5161 cities and towns. All facts and figures have been carefully and authoritatively collected. While approaching the subject objectively, we have rigidly applied documentary and professional standards. The relevant information about each town is given under the following heads and sub-heads:

Brief history, Ranking with respect to area, population, sex ratio, literacy rate, density, working population, etc., Physical Features, Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Sun Rise and Sun Set, Administration, State, Distt., Tehsil H.Q., Parliamentary and assembly constituencies, Civic and other amenities like electricity, water supply, roads among others, demographic profile including number of households, population, percent population with respect to language/dialect and religion, medical facilities, education including schools, colleges, polytechnics and professional training, information on 279 Indian universities including 62 deemed to be universities, Media, newspapers, TV stations, Radio Station, Important events, important personality, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, agriculture including commodities produced, agri-products, seed farms, feed mills, natural disaster, economic profile including work force, revenue, finance, trade, export, import, and industry, Tourist places, fairs and festivals; important NGOs; slum statistics among others.

All twenty seven volumes would prove to be of immense help and become an invaluable companion not only to researchers and analysts, administrators and planners, scholars and writers, but also to the libraries, the NGOs, the tourism industry, the retail chains and malls, points of presence of expanding enterprises among numerous other categories of users."

  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.

  • I wanted to thank you for the lovely book and to assure you that we are in the process of cutting a check for your payment.  Thank you so much for shipping the book to us before receiving payment.  I saved the cloth packaging – I’ve never received a package that was wrapped with such care!  I have shown it to many of my co-workers. 

    Thank you again for fulfilling my request and you should receive payment within a few more weeks.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
