History[edit]
Before independence of India it was a part of Baghelkhand agency and came under the administration of Baghelas of Rewa.[citation needed] On 6 May 1997, a new district was carved out from the erstwhile Banda district comprising its Karwi and Mau tehsils. The district was initially named as Chhatrapati Shahuji Nagar district. On 4 September 1998, it was renamed as Chitrakoot district.
Economy[edit]
In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Chitrakoot one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640).[3] It is one of the 34 districts in Uttar Pradesh currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).[3]
Successive governments have often ignored the district's development and hence has become one of the most remote and cut-off districts in India.
Demographics[edit]
According to the 2011 census Chitrakoot district has a population of 990,626,[2] roughly equal to the nation of Fiji[5] or the US state of Montana.[6] This gives it a ranking of 448th in India (out of a total of 640).[2]
The district has a population density of 315 inhabitants per square kilometre (820/sq mi) .[2] Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 29.29%.[2] Chitrakoot has a sex ratio of 879 females for every 1000 males,[2] and a literacy rate of 66.52%.[2]
