Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary (established in 1979, also known as the Jawaharlal Nehru Bustard Sanctuary of Maharashtra) is a wildlife sanctuary for the great Indian bustard (''Ardeotis nigriceps'') at Solapur, Maharashtra, India. The land is drought-prone and semi-arid. Maharashtra is one of the six states of India where great Indian bustards (''Ardeotis nigriceps'') are still seen . The great Indian bustard at Nannaj and Karmala was first identified By Mr B.S.Kulkarni in 1972 and with his constant efforts to save the bird had resulted in Dr. Salim Ali visiting Nannaj and starting a research project.
