The immense work done by the surveyors needed some appreciation & almost none of us knew about the great work done by these people. So in a way, this project not only appreciates their work but also reminds people of their contribution to the society.So overall, the aura of that place amidst the huge banyan trees, which was enhancing the character of that space!Must visit place when in Pune!
This done has a lot of significance.Zero stone means, all the distance from Pune to all other cities are calculated from this stone ( generally at the gpo of the city)
Good place with liitle history about the trigonometry. Not well maintained now.
I am very happy to use the app and Im enjoying the life
A milestone point for Pune... Must visit.. good amount of information present !
The place where you are zero kms away from Pune or in other words where you are exactly standing on Pune.Britishers placed around sixty such zero stones around India. It was a sixty year long work rightly called as the Great Indian Trigonometrical Survey. In this work British team along with Indian team actually walked much of India from east to west coast & from Southern point to Himalayas. They measured the size & height of much of Indias topography, battled the inhuman weather, faced many ailments but completed the work.In Pune, you will find General Post office of Pune exactly behind the zero stone. You will also find the images of people who led the work and information stones on erected to display their contribution to this great work.Not just kids but even adults should visit the place to know the positive side of British Raj.
Interesting information provided at Zero Miles.
Really awesome place, related to trigonometric survey of India.Zero Stone in Pune city is perhaps the smallest monument of historic significance. The installation can be spotted on the footpath positioned close to the boundary wall of the General Post Office (GPO).
Very Nice And Clean...
What is the height above sea level of the peak of Mount Everest? To establish its height, one would have to know the elevation above sea level of a reference point. And to have a reference point close to the Himalayas, one would have to have a network of points all the way to the sea coast. Zero stone is a beautiful display reminding us of a super human effort of mapping the entire Indian subcontinent on foot in the 1800s by the Survey of India then headed by English diplomats. But many Indians were part of the project and made many significant contributions. Zero mile was the precise location of Pune in the Great Trigonometric Survey. And many such zero miles were established across the subcontinent from Kanyakumari to the Himalayas.If you happen to walk past Head Post Office, stop at the memorial to read some trivia related to the Trigonometric Survey.
Great to hear about the place called as zero stone near by G.P.O Pune.
Best place to visit
This place is very natural, and cool please
Very busiest at the eveningtime. Because this place is on the road side.Here a old post office. And a petroleum pump also. Here is many snacks shop nearby this place.
Old landmark of Pune. Nice tree views.
Its the general post office of Pune. This is where all the distance is measured from. Recently undergone a lovely makeover..
Worth a visit and see the history beyond this Zero Milestone
Mile stone showing distance of Pune City 0 kms.
Beautiful statues, description of contributions by indian mathematicians in trigonometric survey of india
This place is the Zero Mile marker of Pune City. It is near GPO on Sadhu Vasvani road in Camp. A must visit place for all the citizens of Pune.
Intresting read regarding the history of how pure mathematics was used to mark geographical location of the city.
Punes Km start from here. City to another city km counts from here. Thats why this place called as Zero Stone(Pune 0-KM Stone).
I dont think that people will enjoy hereBut it has good restaurants nearby

Best landmark. Nicely done. But public misuse
One of 80 milestones placed in India by the British from which to measure the distance to and from one city to another. This is the kind of place that would be fun to take a child and talk about how distance is measured betweeen cities. Since its right near a post office, as well as in a popular part of town, a visit here could be easily coupled with another errand.
Zero Stone, one of the jewels of Pune.Dedicating the restored and beautified ‘Zero Mile Stone’ to the city, Pune.Located outside the General Post Office (GPO) near Sadhu Vaswani Chowk, the entire footpath on which the stone, marking Pune’s ‘0 km’, is located, has been renovated and beautified.Zero Stone marks the exact geographic location of the city, and is one of 80 such stones installed by the British to mark the zero points for survey of the country. From this stone distances were measured to other Zero Stones in neighbouring cities and locations, most of which seem to have been located near the main post offices which were considered a central place. Pune’s Zero Stone is inscribed with the following locations; Pune, Bangalore, Solapur, Ahmednagar, Nashik, Purandhar, Alandi, Sinhgad and Paud.
Good
Thank you Local bodies for recent renovation done here, since childhood i use to wonder about the zero mile stone. Great job to introduce technical aptitude in general public and salute to the heros never talked about
Land mark from where all the distances are measured between two cities such as Pune & Solapur, Pune & Satara, etc.Located out side the General Post Office within one Km from the Pune Railway station.
Pune Zero mile places... Superb work of artand engineering together

Its nice work toward making awareness around pune for history.
This place is very close to road, still very few people know its historical value.Authorities should preserve and promote this place.
Zero Stone -Installed by the British in the early 1900s, the Zero Stone marks the exact geographic location of the city, and is one of 80 such stones installed by the British to mark the zero points for survey of the country. From this stone distances were measured to other Zero Stones in neighbouring cities and locations, most of which seem to have been located near the main post offices which were considered a central place.It is ocated outside the General Post Office on Sadhu Vaswani Mission Road in Pune, the Zero Stone is probably one of the city’s smallest and least noticed monuments.
One of the most important spots in Pune. Need to gather some attention for this spot. There are more important things to learn about our society and country than visiting malls and hangouts.
Nice makeover
Must visit for Geography student s
Earlier this place was very shabby. Lots of trees and vendors occupied this place and the Zero Stone was not visible. Now this place is beautified and the Zero Stone is visible.
Nice place.
