Besides these the chief Government institution are the Central Jail, one of the two Provincial lunatic asylums, and a leper asylum. The lunatic asylum, which is now being extended, occupies a fine site and has accommodation for 150 inmates. The jail lies south of the city, It is probably the most sanitary and industrious part of Nagpur. In it is housed the Government printing press, which has 30 presses and prints or lithographs all the forms and registers used by the Administration. The cotturn is approximately ten million sheets annually. The other principal industries of the jail are carpet-weaving and upholstering in cane.
The department of Agriculture maintains a large experimental farm in the close neighborhood of the civil station and under its management also are the Telinkheri gardens below the lake of that name and the Maharajbag near the city. The latter is the principal public garden of Nagpur. It contains a small zoological collection and an aviary has recently been built. At the western end it is commanded by the new Victoria Memorial Technical Institute, an imposing building, in front of which stands a white marble statue of the late Queen empress, recently unveiled. Close to Sitabaldi stands the Museum, which is filled chiefly with archaeological remains. Attached to it are gardens under municipal management. In the city itself there are, with the exception of the Raja garen at Sakardara, no recreation grounds of importance except the Nedham Park, recently laid out on ground reclaimed by famine labour in 1900 from the Juma Talao.
