Katni district

Katni is an administrative district within Jabalpur region, stretching across thousands of square kilometers of central terrain. The land features varied geology with deposits of limestone and bauxite scattered throughout its different zones.

The district was created in 1998 when it separated from Jabalpur to become its own administrative unit. This formation led to the establishment of Katni town as the region's new administrative center.

The district draws from customs rooted in three neighboring regions, shaping how people here live and celebrate. Local traditions blend elements from these different areas, visible in how communities observe festivals and maintain their daily practices.

The district is organized into seven administrative subdivisions spread across its territory, each handling local affairs. This structure helps visitors navigate and understand the different parts of the region when exploring.

The district functions as a major railway junction with one of the country's largest diesel locomotive maintenance facilities. This industrial presence shapes the economic character and daily activity of the region.
