Sargodha Division

Sargodha Division is an administrative region in Punjab spanning approximately 26,000 square kilometers and situated at an elevation of 155 meters. It comprises two districts with a mix of agricultural lands and urban centers.

The region received its administrative status in 1960 and became part of Pakistan's third-tier government level. This reorganization established the modern boundaries and functions of the area.

Punjabi is the main language spoken here, shaping daily conversations and local customs across the region. The communities of different faiths who live together create a diverse social fabric visible in neighborhood life.

The region is managed by separate administrative offices for each district under the oversight of a Divisional Commissioner. Visitors will find multiple government centers and local offices throughout the area.

The name comes from Sanskrit terms referring to a lake where a Hindu resident named Godha lived in earlier times. This ancient connection reveals the long history of human settlement in this region.
