Fact File
Madhya Pradesh, the second largest state in the country in terms of area, is also
the seventh most populous state. The bifurcation of Chhattisgarh from undivided
Madhya Pradesh, on 1 November 2000, has had a bearing on the residual Madhya Pradesh.
Madhya Pradesh lost to Chhattisgarh on several counts. For example: Chhattisgarh,
though one-third of residual MP, boasts of 44 per cent of the forest land of the
undivided state. The residual state also suffered through loss of mineral resources
to the new state. Similarly, Chhattisgarh is surplus in power generation while the
residual MP became power deficient.
It may also be noted that area-wise, the undivided MP was largest state in India,
area-wise.
