Naraina Village is a village in New Delhi, India.[1][2] It is a Tanwar/Tomar Rajput village.[3]
Before 1911, Naraina was a typical rural village—secluded, agricultural, and largely self-sufficient. It had open fields, village homes, and a community organized around local farming and traditional livelihoods. The village was not connected to any major urban network and retained the character of a small, independent settlement in the Delhi region, largely untouched by large-scale development.
After 1911, when the British acquired land to establish the Delhi Cantonment, Naraina’s rural landscape began to disappear, gradually giving way to urban infrastructure and industrial and residential projects. Following Independence, land acquisition continued for industrial and planned residential areas, causing the surrounding neighbourhoods to flourish while the village itself gradually shrank.[4][5]
