As children and school students need to consult map for identifying districts and places, there is always a need for clear state maps in most languages.
This map is important as it shows all the districts in Madhya Pradesh, which is the second biggest state in India, in terms of area.
MP or Madhya Pradesh is located in the midst of the country, and has a population of over 72 million as per last census.
This map is just for illustrative and representational purpose. However, one finds that there is a lack of maps in Urdu. The fact that Urdu is spoken and used in North as well as South, East and West, spread all over the country and abroad, this need was felt.
Hence, we are putting up the maps on the internet. This map is just for illustrative and representational purpose. The figure is not to scale and does not claim to represent geographical boundaries. We will come up with more maps in coming days. [Update: Right now, it is estimated to have crossed 85 million population in 2025.]
Bhopal, the city known for its unique culture and history, is capital of Madhya Pradesh. It was ruled by Nawabs for nearly 225 years. The princely state included Sehore and Raisen districts that are shown in this map above.
However, after 1949, the Bhopal princely state was merged in India. It became Chief Commissioner's province, a part C state, later. Then after Bhopal state was dissolved, it was merged into Madhya Pradesh, and was made capital of the greater MP in 1956.
But greater Madhya Pradesh was divided in 2000. The far eastern part of the State that included the huge districts of Raipur, Bilaspur as well as tribal dominated Bastar and Sarguja, was carved out to form Chhattisgarh. This is the map of Madhya Pradesh, right now. Creation of a few smaller districts have also been announced in recent times.
