Rajgarh district

Rajgarh district is an administrative division in the Bhopal region that covers roughly 6,150 square kilometers along the northern edge of the Malwa plateau. The area borders Rajasthan and shares boundaries with several neighboring districts of Madhya Pradesh.

The district was created in May 1948 when Madhya Bharat was established, merging territories from the former princely states of Rajgarh, Narsinghgarh, and Khilchipur. This consolidation formed the basis of the current administrative structure.

The district population includes 92.76 percent Hindus and 6.92 percent Muslims, with Hindi serving as the primary language of communication.

The region contains numerous villages, banking facilities, schools, hospitals, and local markets distributed across seven administrative subdivisions. Visitors should expect to explore different areas to access various services and experience the range of settlements throughout the district.

The district is home to a major solar energy facility that uses photovoltaic modules manufactured domestically, representing one of India's most significant installations of this type. The plant demonstrates the region's growing focus on renewable energy production.
