Bilaspur District•A Profile
Bilaspur is one ot the backward districts in the
~hhattisgarh
region of the eastern Madhya Pradesh.
Although
i t is the fourth largest district in area ( 19905 Sq.Km.)
and the third biggest in population. according to the 1971
census, among the districts of the state. the growth of
economy of
the district has tended to remain stggnant for
over several past years.
Agriculture is the mainstay of the district economy.
but
its development has
~t
been rapid enough because the
new strategy of agricultural development, which has brought
prosperity to other parts of the country, has yet to create
a significant impact on the agricultural practices of this
district.

Topograplw -
'lhe district is somewhat oval-shaped, the upper part
being hilly, while the southern border is open_,marl<ed for a
greater part by rivers, Sheonath and Mahanadi.
The Ma1lcal
range of Satpura runs along the north-western bo.ader of the
district in a Norb-east, South-west direction.
These ranges
constitute a semi-circular chain of hills of the
western,
northern and eastern borders, surrounding the plain area
sloping oown ina a north-west and south-east direction.
There are tlo'O isolated ridges in this plain country, Sondhi
and Dalha near Altal tara.
'l'he level of the plain country goes
down from 1000• in Mungeli to 750• in Sakti tehsil,while the
highest points of the hilly north are above 3000' high. This
plain portion is part of the Chhattisgarh plain and the
upper l:lasin of Mahanadi.
Physioaraphic features A Close examination of the district reveals that there
are marked variations in phySiographic condi tiona, agricultural
situation, industrial development etc., in different areas.
For instance, the area in the eastern part is
a1.:~st
.ntirely
flat land, while the northern part is int.er.spe'Jsed with
hills of the Mailcal range of the Satpura and dense foreata.
'l'he
forea~Clnd
plateaus of the north receive more rainfall
than the plains in the south end south-east oo. tillilarly,
while the soil in the northern
