JAMB
Jamb is a village in Bhandara tahsil, situated about 20 miles north-west of Bhandara on the road from Tumsar to Ramtek in Nagpur district. Its population was 2,718 in 1971. The name is said to have been derived from that of the guava tree. A number of Maras reside here and are engaged in the cultivation of vegetables such as ginger, potatoes and earth-nuts with the help of well irrigation. There are also a few sugarcane gardens, and a small cotton hand-weaving industry. Some difficulty is experienced in obtaining potable water for which wells are dug in the bed of a shallow stream which flows by the village. The village has a post office, a middle school, and a medical practitioner. A weekly market is held on Mondays.
