It is primarily known for the [[Nizam Sugar Factory]] and some historical sites. The plant was at one time [[Asia]]’s biggest [[sugar factory]].<br /> <br /> The town&#039;s name is derived from the [[Urdu]] and [[Hindi language]]s; shakkar &quot;[[sugar]]&quot; and nagar &quot;a small area where the people live&quot;. The town was affected by the closure and privatization of the sugar factory. The representative of the town for the local [[Vidhan_Sabha|legislative assembly]] was personally involved in the auction of the facility. At that time, the sugar factory&#039;s holdings included over 1,600 square kilometres of land, 14 village camps, and the Super Specialty [[Hospital]]. Other services that were provided for the children of employees included the Madhu Malancha [[high school]] and [[junior college|junior]] and [[degree college]]s. Shakkaranagar was designed as a model town to provide basic amenities for specialized services in the areas of [[education]], health, [[sport]]s, and cultural activities.<br /> <br /> Shakkar Nagar station has a history dating to the Nizam era. The station is right beside the sugar plant, and an exclusive MG [[Railway line]] was laid to facilitate movement of sugar cane from [[farm]]s to the [[factory]] when road transport was rare and difficult in those times.<br /> {{coord|18|40|N|77|54|E|display=title|region:IN_type:city_source:GNS-enwiki}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Cities and towns in Nizamabad district]]<br /> <br /> {{Nizamabad-geo-stub}}</div>
