Jalna district

Jalna is an administrative district in Maharashtra covering around 7,700 square kilometers with Jalgaon bordering it to the north and Beed to the south. The region spreads across more than 970 villages organized through local administrative units.

The area was once part of the Nizam State until it gained independence through a regional liberation movement and received official district status in 1981. This reorganization reflected broader changes in how the state structured its administration.

Villages here maintain traditional ways of living where communities manage their own affairs and stay closely connected to farming and local practices. Visitors can see how daily life revolves around agricultural rhythms and generations-old customs.

The main town connects to other cities via broad gauge railway lines and highways, making travel relatively straightforward. The nearest airport is roughly 50 kilometers away for those needing faster connections.

The district leads Maharashtra in producing sweet lemons and hosts multiple seed companies in the area. This combination makes it a notable hub for seed production and agricultural innovation.
