==Tourism==
[[Deorkothar]] (or Deur Kothar) is known for its Buddhist [[stupa]]s and may have been established by the [[Maurya]]n king [[Ashoka]] in the 3rd century BCE. In ancient times the site was located on the [[Dakshinapatha]] (Southern Trade Route) running east–west from [[Pataliputra]] (Patna) to [[Pratishthana]] in [[Maharashtra]] through [[Central India]].

===White tigers===
The first of the [[white tiger]]s to be captured was a cub, approximately two years old, who was captured by Maharajah Martand Singh of Rewa. The tiger lived in captivity at the Maharajah's summer palace for five years and, on its death, was stuffed and sent as a gift to [[George V|King George V]] as a sign of India's loyalty to the crown. To this day, white tigers are still kept at the Maharajah's summer palace which is located at [[Govindgarh, Madhya Pradesh|Govindgarh]].

There is a White Tiger Safari in [[Mukundpur]] which first opened in April 3, 2016.

====Mohan====
The first white tiger discovered in May 1951 was named Mohan by Maharajah Shri Martand Singh, who was hunting in the jungles of [[Bandhavgarh]]. On 25 May there was a report that a tigress had been sighted with four cubs, one of which was white. The tigress was shot, as were two of her four cubs, but the white cub escaped. The white cub was captured and kept in a large open courtyard within the Maharajah's 150-roomed palace. On 30 May, only three days after its capture, the white cub escaped and a long hunt was organised to recover it. The white cub was reintroduced to a repaired courtyard where he lived for the remainder of his life.

==Economy==
A limestone belt runs through the Rewa district and coal is found in the nearby districts of Shahdol, Umaria, Sidhi and Singrauli. Cement factories are located in nearby Naubasta, Bela (Satna district) and Bhagwar (Sidhi district). The [[Jaypee Group]] has built a township known as Jaypee Nagar in Rewa. Prism cement (previously Rasi Cement), operates near Rewa in Satna district.

In 2006, the [[Ministry of Panchayati Raj]] named Rewa one of the country's 250 [[Poverty in India|most backward districts]] (out of a total of 640 [[Districts of India|districts in India]]).<ref name=brgf/> It is one of the 24 districts in Madhya Pradesh currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).<ref name=brgf>{{cite web|author=Ministry of Panchayati Raj|date=8 September 2009|title=A Note on the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme|publisher=National Institute of Rural Development|url=http://www.nird.org.in/brgf/doc/brgf_BackgroundNote.pdf|access-date=27 September 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405033402/http://www.nird.org.in/brgf/doc/brgf_BackgroundNote.pdf|archive-date=5 April 2012|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
