Located 80 kilometers northeast of New Delhi, Meerut district covers 2,522 square kilometers within the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains along the Ganges River.

The district celebrates the Nauchandi Fair annually since 1672, transforming from a cattle trading event to a major exhibition of local crafts and performances.

The district contains three administrative subdivisions: Meerut, Mawana, and Sardhana, with a population of 3.4 million people recorded in the 2011 census.

The district stands as one of Asia's largest gold markets and manufactures sports equipment, earning recognition as the Sports City of India.
