Malakand Division, Administrative division in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
The division spans 31,162 square kilometers across nine districts, including Swat, Shangla, Buner, Upper Dir, Lower Dir, and both Upper and Lower Chitral.
The area transformed from Malakand Agency to Malakand Division in 1970, incorporating the former princely states of Chitral, Dir, and Swat into the administrative structure.
Pashto stands as the primary language for 91 percent of residents, with deeply rooted Pashtun traditions displayed through regional music, dance, and social gatherings.
The regional capital, Mingora, functions as the central hub for government services, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and commercial activities for the entire division.
The division contains substantial deposits of marble, granite, and chromite, while also maintaining successful olive cultivation projects through international partnerships.
