Seoni district

Seoni district is an administrative division in central India that encompasses forests, hills, and river valleys shaped by the Wainganga River. The terrain features diverse natural formations and wooded areas that define the region's landscape.

The district was formed in 1956 following India's reorganization of states, having previously been part of the Central Provinces under British rule. This administrative change established its current boundaries and governance structure.

The population of Seoni district includes numerous tribal communities who maintain their traditional practices, social structures, and agricultural methods.

The district connects to major cities through National Highway 44, and Seoni Railway Station offers transportation links to the surrounding region. Travel is most comfortable during cooler months when temperatures are more pleasant.

The forests here inspired Rudyard Kipling to write The Jungle Book during the 1890s, using the local landscape as the setting for his stories. The wooded terrain and wildlife provided the author with a natural backdrop for his tales.
