Sindewahi (Village ID 541049) is a town and Nagar Panchayat (an administrative center) in Chandrapur district, Maharashtra, India.

However, there is no conclusive evidence as to which Shinde family the name Sindevahi came from or fell from a tree called Sindi.

But being within the main road and in the early British period only the name Pargana remained, all the settlements migrated to Sindevahi and other places.

The Gond states gave shelter to the hardworking tribe 'Kohli' in Gadbori, Sindevahi, Navargaon area to build a lake.

According to Hiralal and Russell's book, the Kohali people from chanda were very fond of sugarcane cultivation and built this fertile area with several lakes and made it famous as a 'jaggery depot'.

Sugarcane, jaggery, paddy, textiles and a small amount of silk business made Sindewahi prosperous.

Due to two severe droughts and diseases in 1896 and 1899, the size of Sindevahi was halved in 1901 and only 2932 people remained, including more than half of the Telugu speakers.

The Asola Mendha, Ghodazari and Naleshwar reservoirs were planned by the British government in the central province around 1905 to avert the damage caused by the previous drought and the resulting loss of life.

Earlier, the British government had been monitoring jaggery production here since 1820 and for this they took over 150 acres of land in Sindevahi in the 1912-13 season and set up an 'Agriculture Farm' or today's 'Agricultural Research Center'.

In 1922, Sir Frank Sly, the then Governor of Central Province, visited a research center in Ghodazari while hunting.
