Amravati and Nagpur divisions make up the region of Vidarbha . Vidarbha is one of the poorer regions of Maharashtra, and there is considerable sentiment in Vidarbha to create a separate state. Nagpur Division was created in 1861 , when the Central Provinces of British India was created by merging the Nagpur Province and the Saugor And Nerbudda Territories . Before 1861, Nagpur Division had been part of Nagpur Province, which was annexed by the British in 1853 . The British Nagpur Division included the current districts as well as Balaghat District , currently part of Madhya Pradesh . After Indian Independence, The Central Provinces and Berar (Amravati Division) became the new state of Madhya Pradesh . The Indian states were reorganized along linguistic lines in 1956 , and on November 1 Nagpur and Amravati Divisions were transferred to Bombay State , while Balaghat District remained in Madhya Pradesh. The Marathi -speaking portion of Bombay State became the state of Maharashtra in 1960 .
