Jajpur district, Administrative district in Odisha, India

The district spans 2,888 square kilometers across eastern India, featuring two distinct zones: the North Eastern Coastal Plain and Mid Central Table Land.

The district emerged through a reorganization of Odisha's administrative divisions in 1993, separating from the former Cuttack district on April 1st.

The population of 1.8 million inhabitants primarily speaks Odia language at 90 percent, with Hinduism representing 94 percent of religious practices.

The administrative structure includes ten revenue Tehsils, 331 Gram Panchayats, and 1,781 villages, managed through two municipal centers in Byasanagar and Jajpur.

The Sukinda block within Jajpur contains 88 percent of Odisha's chromite deposits and 72 percent of India's total chromite reserves.
