Pros: moderate weather, good infra (roads, electricity, hospitals, schools, etc.), connectivity to other parts of country (being in central location), cost of living is medium (as of 2022). Cons: lack of centralized IT and other high-paying jobs, pretty homogenous Hindi speaking belt (not really the melting pot of different cultures).
