Nowshera District

The district encompasses three major tehsils - Nowshera, Jehangira, and Pabbi - covering a region with rivers, agricultural lands, and urban settlements.

Nowshera transformed from a tehsil of Peshawar to an independent district in 1988, marking a significant administrative change in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The population consists mainly of Pashtun tribes, including Durrani, Khattak, and Yousafzai, with Pashto serving as the primary language for 95 percent of residents.

The district maintains connectivity through National Highway 5 and the M-1 motorway, facilitating transportation between major Pakistani cities and international trade routes.

The district houses the University of Technology, Nowshera Medical College, and multiple campuses of regional universities, forming an educational center in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
