'''Singrauli district''' is one of the [[Districts of Madhya Pradesh|districts]] in the [[India]] [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Madhya Pradesh]].
Historically ruled by local [[Maharaja]]s until 1947, the district underwent major transformation in the mid-20th century with the construction of the [[Rihand Dam|Govind Vallabh Pant Sagar]] dam and the discovery of rich coal deposits. The district has a diverse population, predominantly [[Hindus|Hindu]], with significant [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|Scheduled Castes and Tribes]].

The area in the eastern part of the state of Madhya Pradesh and the adjoining southern part of Sonebhadra district in the state of UP is collectively known as Singrauli. Singrauli is emerging as India’s energy capital. The place earlier known as Shringavali, named after the sage Shringi, was once covered with dense and unnavigable forests and inhabited by wild animals. The place was considered so treacherous that it was used by the kings of Rewa State, who ruled the area till 1947, as an open air prison for detaining errant civilians and officers.
Previously, Singrauli was ruled by the Maharajas of the Singrauli State until the monarchy was abolished in 1947. The district's headquarters is located at [[Waidhan]], and it was once the largest district in the Bagelkhand Division of [[Vindhya Pradesh]]. {{Citation needed|date=December 2024}}


In the 1800s, there were three separate rulers of Singrauli (previously known as Sidhi), ruling three parts of the territory: First were the Chandela rulers from Bardi (Khatai). Second was Rajasahab Madwas, He was a Baland Rajput, ruled in Majhauli block mostly. Third was Rajasahab [[kharwar]] [[Rajput]] of [[Singrauli]].
In the mid-20th century, significant changes occurred as a large dam was constructed on the [[Rihand River|River Rihand]]. This dam, known as Govind Vallabh Pant Sagar, was inaugurated by Prime Minister [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] in 1962. The discovery of rich coal deposits spanning 2,200&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> in Madhya Pradesh (eastern [[Sidhi district]]) and [[Uttar Pradesh]] (southern [[Sonbhadra district|Sonebhadra district]]) near this artificial lake positioned Singrauli as a major electricity-generating region.


Raja Kant Deo Singh of Bardi Khatai continues to live in the ancestral Haveli located on the banks of the river Sone. He is an active member of the Bharatiya Janata Party.{{citation needed|date=July 2019}}
Singrauli is also home to ancient rock-cut caves, created between the 7th and 8th centuries AD. Located 32&nbsp;km from Waidhan in Mada tehsil, these caves include notable sites such as Vivah Mada, Ganesh Mada, Shankar Mada, Jaljalia, and Ravan Mada.


Just two generations ago, smallholders were tending their parcels of land here, and the original inhabitants were gathering honey and herbs in the forest. In the late fifties, a large scale dam banked up the water of the River Rihand. The dam known as Govind Vallabh Pant Sagar was inaugurated by Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru in 1962. Later, rich coal deposits spread over an area of 2200&nbsp;km² in the state of M.P. (eastern part of Sidhi District) and U.P. (southern part of Sonebhadra District) were discovered close to the artificial lake that could be used to generate electricity.[2]
In addition to these caves, Singrauli features painted rock shelters, such as those at Ranimachi, Dholagiri, and Goura Pahad, situated in Chitrangi tehsil. These shelters date back to the Mesolithic age, characterized by microlithic tool cultures, and showcase early examples of Indian art made with red ochre.


On 24 May 2008, Madhya Pradesh government declared Singrauli as its 50th district by separating from Sidhi with 3 tehsils, Singrauli, Chitrangi and Deosar. On 1 April 2012 two new tehsils were added, Mada and Sarai.
Despite its cultural and economic significance, Singrauli faces challenges such as pollution threatening its historical sites. Additionally, the district struggles with poor road connectivity and inadequate transportation services, issues that have persisted for years without resolution.{{citation needed|date=July 2019}}


This area has a group of rock cut caves made in the 7-8th century AD in Mada, 32&nbsp;km from Waidhan. The Mada caves are situated in Mada tehsil of Singrauli district. Famous caves include Vivah Mada, Ganesh Mada and Shankar Mada, Jaljalia and Ravan Mada.

[[Waidhan]], [[Singrauli]], [[Bargawan]], [[Deosar]], [[Chitrangi, Madhya Pradesh|Chitrangi]], [[Sarai, Singrauli|Sarai]] are the major towns of the District.


Besides rock cut caves, Singrauli also has painted rock shelters. Ranimachi, Dholagiri and Goura pahad lie in Chitrangi tehsil of Singrauli. These painted rock shelters belong to the Mesolithic age of microlithic implements culture. These paintings are representative of the early history of Indian art and are made of red ochre.

The Singrauli district comprises three [[tehsil]]s, namely, [[Singrauli]], [[Deosar]] and [[Chitrangi, Madhya Pradesh|Chitrangi]].<ref name=admin>{{cite web|url =http://singrauli.nic.in/abtsing.htm | title = District Singrauli |publisher =  Singrauli district administration |access-date = 2010-08-12 }}</ref> Since then, two more tehsils have been added to this district: Mada and [[Sarai, Singrauli|Sarai]]. Later, [[Bargawan]] Tehsil was also formed.


Pollution threatens the shelters. Connectivity by road is very poor. This has been evident for several years but no action has been taken yet to improve road transport and quality of buses.{{citation needed|date=July 2019}}

The [[Singrauli Coalfield]] can be divided into two basins, viz. Moher sub-basin (312&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>.) and Singrauli Main basin (1890&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>.). The major part of the Moher sub-basin lies in the [[Sidhi district]] of [[Madhya Pradesh]] and a small part lies in the [[Sonebhadra district]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Singrauli main basin lies in the western part of the coalfield and is largely unexplored. The present [[coal mining]] activities and future blocks are concentrated in Moher sub-basin. Lignite is the form of coal excavated from these coal mines. These coal mines are a hub for the Heavy Earth Moving Machines (HEMM).

The exploration carried out by GSI/NCDC/CMPDI has proved abundant resource of power grade coal in the area. This in conjunction with easy water resource from Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar makes this region an ideal location for high capacity pithead power plants. The coal supplies from NCL has made it possible to produce more than 11000 MW of electricity from pithead power plants of [[NTPC Limited|National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC)]],  The region is now called the '''Energy Capital of India'''. The ultimate capacity of power generation of these power plants is 13295 MW and NCL is fully prepared to meet the increased demand of coal for the purpose. In addition, NCL supplies coal to power plants of [[Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam]], [[Delhi Vidyut Board|Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB)]] and [[Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited]].

Singrauli district (hi) is one of the districts in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.Singrauli district is located northeastern part of Madhya Pradesh.It is a significant hub for energy production due to its vast coal reserves and power plants, earning it the title "Energy Capital of India".

Historically ruled by local Maharajas until 1947, the district underwent major transformation in the mid-20th century with the construction of the Govind Vallabh Pant Sagar dam and the discovery of rich coal deposits. The district has a diverse population, predominantly Hindu, with significant Scheduled Castes and Tribes.

History[edit | edit source]

Vardi's Fort

Previously, Singrauli was ruled by the Maharajas of the Singrauli State until the monarchy was abolished in 1947. The district's headquarters is located at Waidhan, and it was once the largest district in the Bagelkhand Division of Vindhya Pradesh. [citation needed]

In the mid-20th century, significant changes occurred as a large dam was constructed on the River Rihand. This dam, known as Govind Vallabh Pant Sagar, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1962. The discovery of rich coal deposits spanning 2,200 km2 in Madhya Pradesh (eastern Sidhi district) and Uttar Pradesh (southern Sonebhadra district) near this artificial lake positioned Singrauli as a major electricity-generating region.

Singrauli is also home to ancient rock-cut caves, created between the 7th and 8th centuries AD. Located 32 km from Waidhan in Mada tehsil, these caves include notable sites such as Vivah Mada, Ganesh Mada, Shankar Mada, Jaljalia, and Ravan Mada.

In addition to these caves, Singrauli features painted rock shelters, such as those at Ranimachi, Dholagiri, and Goura Pahad, situated in Chitrangi tehsil. These shelters date back to the Mesolithic age, characterized by microlithic tool cultures, and showcase early examples of Indian art made with red ochre.

Despite its cultural and economic significance, Singrauli faces challenges such as pollution threatening its historical sites. Additionally, the district struggles with poor road connectivity and inadequate transportation services, issues that have persisted for years without resolution.[citation needed]

Geography[edit | edit source]

The Singrauli district covers an area of 5,672 square kilometres (2,190 sq mi).[1] it shared its boundary with Sidhi District of Madhya Pradesh. Sone River and Gopad River are the major rivers of the district, and the district is surrounded by the Vindhya and Kaimur Ranges. Coal is found in abundant quantity in the district.[2]

Waidhan, Singrauli, Bargawan, Deosar, Chitrangi, Sarai are the major towns of the District.

Divisions[edit | edit source]

The Singrauli district comprises three tehsils, namely, Singrauli, Deosar and Chitrangi.[3] Since then, two more tehsils have been added to this district: Mada and Sarai. Later, Bargawan Tehsil was also formed.

Politics[edit | edit source]

There are three Madhya Pradesh Vidhan Sabha constituencies in the Singrauli district, namely, Chitrangi, Singrauli and Deosar. All of these are part of Sidhi Lok Sabha constituency.

Economy[edit | edit source]

Singrauli is also known as Energy Capital of India. The Rihand Dam was built in 1961 across the Rihand River at Pipri in the neighbouring district of Sonbhadra, in Uttar Pradesh.[15] Later, rich coal deposits spread over an area of 2,200 square kilometres (850 sq mi) across the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh were discovered close to the artificial lake, Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar formed by the Rihand Dam. That led to the transformation and development of the area.[3]

Coal mining and power[edit | edit source]

Northern Coalfields is the major business of the district. The headquarters of the company are at Singrauli. The company is a subsidiary of Coal India, which is the largest coal producing company in world.[citation needed]

This in conjunction with easy water resource from Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar makes this region an ideal location for high capacity pithead power plants. The coal supplies from NCL has made it possible to produce more than 11000 MW of electricity from pithead power plants of National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), The region is now called the Energy Capital of India. The ultimate capacity of power generation of these power plants is 13295 MW and NCL is fully prepared to meet the increased demand of coal for the purpose. In addition, NCL supplies coal to power plants of Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam, Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB) and Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited.
