Q. Which regions formed the Central Provinces in British India?
Answer: Mahakoshal and Berar
Notes: The Central Provinces comprised Mahakoshal and Berar regions under British India. These areas formed the core province territory, directly governed by British administration. Neighboring areas like Bundelkhand, Baghelkhand, Vindhya Pradesh, Bhopal, Chhattisgarh, and Gwalior were princely states or separate territories outside the Central Provinces. The province was later known as Central Provinces and Berar until India's independence in 1947.
