You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ganj Basoda''', called '''Basoda''', city and [[municipality]] in the Indian state of [[Madhya Pradesh]]. Ganj Basoda is one of the eleven [[tehsil]]s of [[Vidisha district]] and is 39 km from [[Vidisha]].<ref>((cite web|title=Vidisha Statistics|url=http://www.vidisha.nic.in/profile/profile_2.htm|access-date=27 August 2011))</ref>

== History ==

Earlier there was an oil and flour mill named "Standard Flour and Oil mill" which also got the opportunity to fulfill the need of food in [[World War II]]. Owing to unknown reasons it burnt into ashes and because of this reason now the townsmen call it ''"jali mill"''. The site of the mill is located near the railway station, opposite the railway goods shed. Today the burnt building stands in the former standard flour and mill area.

== Etymology ==
''Ganj'' is a common suffix meaning ''market place or neighbourhood'' in Hindi, Bengali and Urdu, used in names of neighbourhoods and towns in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan such as [[Daryaganj]].<ref>Ganj</ref> In case of Ganj Basoda, it is a prefix. Actually there are three villages in Vidisha district with word ''Basoda'' in their names. To prevent confusion, the word ''Ganj'' was conjoined with city's name. Ganj is the nearest village to city situated on the road through which the city was majorly connected with other parts of India.

== Geography ==
Basoda is located at ((Coord|23.85|N|77.95|E)), very near to the centre of India. It has an average elevation of 399&nbsp;metres (1309&nbsp;feet). Local river Parasari divides the town in two parts. Major river Betwa flows at west end of Ganj Basoda, close to the town. Basoda is generally safe from floods due to its high altitude from the river. Nonetheless, the flood of 1965 is still remembered by townsmen.

== Economy ==
Ganj Basoda's economy mainly depends on agriculture and stone mines. It has one of the biggest grain mandis of Asia. It has more warehouses than any other city of Madhya Pradesh. The main crops are wheat, soybean, gram, lentils and groundnut. Wheat of Ganj Basoda is famous all over India. Its sandstone is famous in countries like the UK and Italy.((citation needed|date=March 2019)) Stones mined from Ganj Basoda and nearby places is exported to the international market through Kandla port, Gujarat.

== Transport and connectivity ==
Ganj Basoda is situated on Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Chennai main line. It is situated 105.1&nbsp;km from Bhopal, 242&nbsp;km from [[Jhansi]], 704&nbsp;km [[Delhi]] and 877.5&nbsp;km from [[Mumbai]]. A new railway line from Basoda to Guna is proposed after which Ganj Basoda will become a junction and the distance from [[Bhopal]], [[Vidisha]] and Basoda to [[Sironj]], [[Guna, India|Guna]] and [[Rajasthan]] will be shortened.

Basoda is well connected through roads with nearby major cities. It is situated 105.1&nbsp;km from Bhopal, 295.5&nbsp;km from [[Indore]] and 102.7&nbsp;km from Sagar.
