HistoryEdit
The town was part of the empire of the Western Chalukyas from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The name Yadgir (historically Yetagiri[3]) is derived from its early medieval rulers, the 'Yadavas'. Their establishments were on a hill ('giri' in Kannada means hill). Major economic development of the city took place under Philip Meadows Taylor, the British administrator of the principality of Shorapur.[citation needed]
Yadgir has a broad gauge railway station, Yadgir railway station,[6] and lies between Mumbai and Chennai. It comes under the South Central Railway under the Guntakal division. The city is connected to Gulbarga, 78 km. away by rail and 84 km. away by road. From Raichur, its distance is 81 km. It is located between the two districts - Gulbarga and Raichur.[7]
Two rivers flow through the Yadgir district, the Krishna and the Bhima. There is a lot of scope for industrialization.[original research?] A sugar factory and a fuel factory, "Core Green", are established near Hiretumkur village.[9] Recently, rich uranium deposits have been found in the Gogi belt, covering the villages of Gogi, Ukkinal & Darshanapur in Shahapur taluk and Thinthini & other places in Surapur taluk. Uranium mined and processed here will be used for defense and power generation purposes.[citation needed]. Near Saidapur in Yadgir taluk there is an industrial area called Kadechur-Badiyal Industrial Area, which estimates at 3000 acres. The Karnataka government has approved proposals by 67 pharmacy companies to set up their units in the Kadechar-Badiyal drug park in the same industrial area. These companies are expected to invest over 2812 crores and generate over 11000 jobs.
