Uttar Pradesh district map in Urdu: Map showing districts, just for educational purpose



This is a basic map of Uttar Pradesh in Urdu, for geography students and map enthusiasts.

It is purely non-commercial and for mere representational purpose. Just for educational purpose.

The aim is that children, particularly, Urdu speakers and the students in Urdu medium schools in rest of the country, are able to identify places, their districts and seek information. 

Apart from districts, the boundaries of the state and the names of the adjoining states are visible. Urdu is one of the two state languages of Uttar Pradesh, along with Hindi. Hence, there is need for map too.

One, often finds that there is a lack of maps in Urdu. Hence, we are putting up the maps on the internet. This map is just for illustrative and representational purpose. The figure is not to scale and does not claim to represent geographical boundaries.

Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India. It is estimated to have a population of nearly 241-255 million [from 24 crore to around 25 crore] in 2025, on the basis of statistical projections. In fact, just a few countries in the world, have higher population.

India, China, United States of America (USA) and Indonesia are more populous than UP, though it is one of the 36 states and union territories in India. Pakistan, Nigeria, Brazil, Bangladesh, Russia and Ethiopia also figure in the list of top ten countries, population-wise.

The largest state in India in terms of area is Rajasthan [342,239 sq km]. This is followed by Madhya Pradesh [308,252 sq km], Maharashtra [307,713 sq km], Uttar Pradesh [240,928 sq km] and Gujarat [196,024]. 

While UP is at fourth place in area, in terms of population it is at the top within India. 
After UP, Bihar is the second most populous state, followed by Maharashtra, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. Rajasthan is at the sixth place. Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra are also in the list of top ten.

Madhya Pradesh district map: India's regional and state maps in Urdu-1



As children and school students need to consult map for identifying districts and places, there is always a need for clear state maps in most languages. 

This map is important as it shows all the districts in Madhya Pradesh, which is the second biggest state in India, in terms of area. 

MP or Madhya Pradesh is located in the midst of the country, and has a population of over 72 million as per last census. 

This map is just for illustrative and representational purpose. However, one finds that there is a lack of maps in Urdu. The fact that Urdu is spoken and used in North as well as South, East and West, spread all over the country and abroad, this need was felt.

Hence, we are putting up the maps on the internet. This map is just for illustrative and representational purpose. The figure is not to scale and does not claim to represent geographical boundaries. We will come up with more maps in coming days.  [Update: Right now, it is estimated to have crossed 85 million population in 2025.]

Bhopal, the city known for its unique culture and history, is capital of Madhya Pradesh. It was ruled by Nawabs for nearly 225 years. The princely state included Sehore and Raisen districts that are shown in this map above.

However, after 1949, the Bhopal princely state was merged in India. It became Chief Commissioner's province, a part C state, later. Then after Bhopal state was dissolved, it was merged into Madhya Pradesh, and was made capital of the greater MP in 1956. 

But greater Madhya Pradesh was divided in 2000. The far eastern part of the State that included the huge districts of Raipur, Bilaspur as well as tribal dominated Bastar and Sarguja, was carved out to form Chhattisgarh. This is the map of Madhya Pradesh, right now. Creation of a few smaller districts have also been announced in recent times.

Historical maps of India: Political map of British India, pre-partition India that included Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma in Urdu, English


This is an old map, more than a century old.

The map shows boundaries that existed much before partition of the Indian sub-continent.
It shows British India that included not just India, Pakistan but also Burma.
Urdu has been added in the map for the benefit of readers, students who need it.
Many such maps are needed in Urdu but are not available. Hence, this is our aim to add Urdu in important maps. It is purely for education purpose. 
A lot has changed in 110 years. Many cities shown in the map, shrank and hence they are not considered big cities now, but are shown in this map.
Similarly, regions and divisions that existed earlier but later they became part of other states and hence their separate identity no longer exists. You find regions like Berar, Mysore and Hyderabad. Now Mysore and Hyderabad are not states but mere cities, as states were renamed and reorganised after independence.
The map is large but couldn't be uploaded on that scale here. However, you can still click and then use F11 for a slightly bigger map. Original size would be posted later on. Once again, it must be known that it is for education purpose, no commercial use. 


The figure is not to scale and does not claim to represent any authentic boundaries, just for illustrative purpose. See the second map that is in higher resolution. Yet another map of pre-independent India is available at this link. CLICK. [We are going to post many such maps in future for the benefit of Urdu speaking masses and students].
