Modinagar is a city and a municipal board in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. This area lies in close proximity to the city of Meerut. The area gains its name owing to the Modi Group of Industries that was established here in 1933. Situated mid-way on Ghaziabad-Meerut National Highway No 58, the place is set off at approximately equal distance from Meerut and Ghaziabad. Also known as the home of Modi Mills, rapid development is taking place in Modinagar owing to its close proximity to NCR. Parallel to this area runs the Delhi- Saharanpur section of the Northern Railway. A metalled road, going to Hapur, originates from the city. Modinagar Railway Station lies in between Meerut and Ghaziabad Stations. Most of the major express trains as well as all general passenger trains from Delhi to Meerut-Haridwar-Dehradun route stop at this Railway Station. Modinagar has seen a wave of growth through commerce and industry while also creating much-needed employment opportunities in and around the region. Numerous social initiatives in education, public health and welfare have been initiated in the town of Modinagar. Of late the city has transformed from an industrial township to a Major Education Hub due to several major institutions being established in the locale. A temple (built in the early nineteenth century by Rani Bala Bai Sindhia), which was formerly in the village of Begumabad, is now included in the notified area of Modinagar. Modinagar is a peaceful and harmonious city to dwell.
