Nanded district
Nanded district (Marathi pronunciation: [naːn̪d̪eɖ]) is a district of Maharashtra state in central India. The city of Nanded is the district headquarters.
Nanded has been mentioned in historical accounts since the 1st century. Upon the reorganization of states in 1956, the district of Nanded came to comprise six talukas: Kandhar, Hadgaon, Biloli, Degloor and Mudhol whereas Mukhed and Bhokar were designated as Mahals (revenue headquarters). As a result of the reorganization, Bichkunda and Jukkal villages of Degloor taluka, as well as the entire Mudhol taluka (excluding Dharmabad), were merged with Nizamabad District of Telangana. In exchange, Kinwat and Islapur villages were separated from Adilabad District and incorporated into Nanded District. Islapur village was combined with Kinwat taluka, and Dharmabad came to be merged with Biloli taluka.
The district of Nanded lies between 180 15' to 190 55' North latitudes and 770 to 78025' East longitudes. It covers an area of 10,332 sq km. Nanded District lies in the eastern part of Maharashtra state as well as the eastern portion of Marathwada region, which corresponds to Aurangabad Division.
Nanded is bounded on the north by Yavatmal district of the Vidarbha region, with Latur on south-west, Parbhani and Hingoli districts on the west. On the eastern side lies Adilabad, Nirmal, Nizamabad and Kamareddy districts of Telangana state, and on the south lies Bidar of Karnataka state. The area presents undulating topography with uneven hills, plateau, gentle slopes and valley planes.
The Godavari River flows through the district. Physio-graphically, the district can be divided into 2 major parts, the hilly region on the North and North East and low-lying area on the banks of the rivers Godavari, Manjra, Manyad, Penganga.
According to the 2011 census, the district has an area of 10,502 km2 and its population is 3,361,292 of which 27.19% were urban. roughly equal to the nation of Uruguay or the US state of Connecticut. This gives it a ranking of 99th in India (out of a total of 640). The district has a population density of 319 inhabitants per square kilometre (830/sq mi) . Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 16.7%.
