Gurugram is the mythological name derived from Guru Dronacharya, the master of archery in Mahabharata who groomed the Pandavas and Kauravas in war tactics.
It is said the village was given as ‘gurudakshina’ to Guru Dronacharya by the Pandavas and hence it came to be known as Guru-gram. However in course of time got distorted to Gurgaon.
Presently, Gurugram is the corporate hub of Haryana on outskirts of Delhi.
It is known both nationally and globally as industrial, software, information technology and corporate hub.
