Barnala district
Barnala district is one of the 23 districts of the Indian state of Punjab. It was carved out of Sangrur district, in November 2006. It is a centrally located district bordered by Ludhiana district on the north, Moga district on northwest, Bathinda district on west, Sangrur district on east and Mansa district on south. As per census 2011, the population of District Barnala is 5,96,294. The town has a thriving industrial sector with two main industries: Trident Group India Textiles Rajinder Gupta and a large industry producing Combines.[citation needed]
It is a centrally located district bordered by Ludhiana district on the north, Moga district on the northwest, Bathinda district on the west, Sangrur district on east and Mansa district on south. The current MLAs of the district are Meet Hayer of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) from Barnala Constituency, Labh Singh Ugoke of AAP from Bhadaur Constituency, and Kulwant Singh Pandori of AAP from Mehal Kalan Constituency.
As of 2011, it is the least populous district of Punjab (out of 23).
During the British era, the area that is now Barnala district was mostly part of Patiala State, with some areas belonging to Nabha State and some areas part of Ludhiana district. It functioned as a Nizamat (district) within Patiala state, comprising three tehsils: Mansa, Bathinda, and Barnala. This district was also historically referred to as Anahatgarth district.
After Patiala & other State accepted the dominion of India, and the princely states were reorganized, Barnala became part of the newly formed Patiala and East Punjab States Union (PEPSU) and was designated as a district within it. During this process, the district itself was also reorganized.
In 1953, the Barnala district was abolished. At that time, the district consisted of four tehsils: Phul, Dhuri, Malerkotla, and Barnala. A portion of Phul tehsil along with the remaining three tehsils—Dhuri, Malerkotla, and Barnala—were transferred to Sangrur district, & rest part of Phul tehsil was merged into Bathinda district.
Barnala regained its status as a separate district much later, on 19 November 2006, carved out from Sangrur district. The new Barnala district comprises two sub-divisions—Barnala and Tapa—with three sub-tehsils: Tapa, Bhadaur, and Dhanaula, and three development blocks: Barnala, Sehna, and Mehal Kalan.
According to the 2011 census, Barnala district has a population of 595,527, roughly equal to the nation of Solomon Islands or the US state of Wyoming. As per 2011 census, Barnala is the least populous district of Punjab. This gives it a ranking of 527th in India (out of a total of 640). The district has a population density of 419 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,090/sq mi) . Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 13.16%. Barnala has a sex ratio of 876 females for every 1000 males, and a literacy rate of 68.9%. Scheduled Castes made up 32.24% of the population.
