Previously, the area of Vijay Nagar was a dense jungle with permanent houses a distance away with no major medical or schooling facility available. The main credit for development has to be given to the National Bus Terminal popularly known as Deen Dayal Bus Terminal which is being built nearby resulting in the crowd of expensive cafes and hang-out points. The Chief Minister Mr Shivraj Singh Chauhan under his power has taken full responsibility for this project which was completed in 2016. The terminal is built on a lake called Madhotal and Jabalpur was once known as the city of lakes which is also taal in Hindi, due to many lakes present in various areas but now it is widely known as the Marble City. It is said that this terminal consists of a beautiful garden, spreading it to a large area.
