Understand

The Durg district, which came into existence on January 1, 1906, is a densely populated part of Chhattisgarh. It covers the southwestern portion of the Chhattisgarh plain and boasts hilly regions in the south, southwest, and northwest, enriched with valuable mineral resources and forests. The district benefits from its strategic location along National Highway No. 6, a major route connecting Mumbai, Sambalpur, and Calcutta. The South Eastern Railway's main line also passes through this district, midway between Mumbai and Calcutta. The nearest airport to the Durg District is located in Mana, approximately 50 kilometers away from the District Headquarter. Physically, the district can be divided into two divisions: the expansive Chhattisgarh plain and the scenic Southern plateau. The Chhattisgarh plain dominates the district, occupying the largest portion of its area.
