Jhabua district

The district spans across 3,782 square kilometers of terrain in western Madhya Pradesh, featuring hills, forests, and agricultural lands throughout its territory.

The region became part of British protection in 1817 under the Bhopawar Agency of Central India, later transitioning to Madhya Pradesh state after India's independence.

The population consists of 87 percent tribal communities who maintain their traditional practices, languages, and craft production including bamboo items and bead jewelry.

The district headquarters in Jhabua town coordinates administrative services, educational facilities, and transportation networks connecting to major urban centers through Meghnagar railway station.

The Deojhiri village within the district contains an ancient temple with a perennial spring that draws visitors during the Baisakh Poornima festival.
