History Ambedkar Nagar
The history of settling city on the banks of rivers is very old. Adi Kavi has taken a beautiful picture of the victory festival of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram, saying “V Tamsa Tamsa Saryu Tata”. It is obvious that the Sadhanashi sages, the sages from the sages, have been revolving around the Saryu, Ghaghra and Tamsa, have been donating the life of the land of the earth and are still doing it today. Ambedkarnagar district, who is inhabited by the holy Salila Saryu and Tamsa water waves, has its special identity from many perspectives. Before coming to the district’s existence, this land has seen all the ups and downs.
On 29 September 1995, the then Chief Minister is the headquarters of Ambedkarnagar district Akbarpur, who came into existence after being divided into existence by the then Chief Minister, with the announcement of creation of Shiv Baba in a packed crowd. The city is located at an altitude of 133 meters (436 fit) above sea level and 26.431 degrees north, latitude and 82.540 degrees at eastern longitude. The total area of Ambedkarnagar district divided into five tehsils and ten blocks is 2350 sq km. Where according to the 2011 census, 23,97,888 (twenty -five thousand eight hundred eight hundred eighty -eight) people reside. The number of which has now increased to around 25 lakhs. There are a total of 1750 revenue villages in the district. Together, a total of 930 gram panchayats are formed three municipalities and two Nagar Panchayats.
Before the creation of the district, this area used to be a part of Ayodhya (Faizabad) district. At that time, this area was divided into two tehsils Akbarpur and Tanda. Meanwhile, in view of the demand of the people, on 22 June 1989, the then Chief Minister and the then Revenue Minister divided some parts of Akbarpur and created Jalalpur Tehsil. Later, on 7 December 1995, the then Governor Motilal Bora decided to form the Tanda Tehsil in view of the Janmang after the district creation. Which was embodied by the then Mandalayukta on 1 January 1996. With that, Alaur Tehsil came into existence. Meanwhile, on 31 October 2007, Bhiti Tehsil was created for some parts of Akbarpur tehsil. Thus, a total of five tehsils were made in the district.
It is not divided into 930 gram panchayats and 1750 revenue villages, Ambedkarnagar district has been divided into the first 9 development blocks. Which includes Akbarpur, Tanda, Baskhari, Ramnagar, Jahangirganj, Bhianv, Jalalpur, Katehari and Bhiti. If we look at the historical vision, it is found that the Akbarpur city which has been made the headquarters of Ambedkarnagar district, is absolutely deserted in the Nawabi period Was. By the sixth decade of the sixteenth century, the region was part of the dense forest.
When Emperor Akbar arrived here in 1566 AD, this city came into existence. It is described that the place where Emperor Akbar came here and stopped in 1566 is known as Tehsil Tirahe today. At that time, he built a mosque for worship next to Tehsil Tirahe. Which is today known as the fort mosque. Meanwhile, he also settled a colony which was named Akbarpur which is today known as the district headquarters. It is said that there was no means to cross Tamsa to move forward from here. For which Emperor Akbar built a wooden bridge which was known as the royal bridge for a long time. This bridge today connects Akbarpur and Shahzadpur in changed form.
Historians say that after the construction of the royal bridge, on the instructions of Emperor Akbarpur, Shahzadpur and his surname Jalalpur settlements were inhabited, which later got the recognition of Mauje. Today the same settlements are famous as a good town. Rajbars were ruled by around 1300 around Jalalpur town known as an important part of the district. Bhujgi and Surhurpur used to raise two of them. In which Sayyid Salar Masaud Ghazi alias Ghazi Mian won the princely state of Surhurpur and went under the possession of the princely Rajputs. Meanwhile, Irani Sardar, who came, settled in the name of Naki, which is known as Nagpur today.
During the Nawabi period, the region started getting recognition which proceeded in the English rule. The Muslim rulers built Imambaras, Mosques, Idgahs, and Dharamshalas when the British built schools, hospitals, bridges, tehsils, blocks, railway stations. After independence in 1947, local citizens started breathing free. After the first election in 1952, the Zamidari Abolition Bill made all the poor, laborers and workers to landless. Although efforts have been made to develop the region after independence Millen, from the last days of the twenty -two days, the early period of the twenty -first century can be called the golden period of Ambedkarnagar. Because the Chief Minister of the then state government made it its country land, as a result, his development plans proved to be a boon for Ambedkarnagar. The results are in front of everyone today. Today, Ambedkarnagar is resplendent on the National horizon.
