Seoni district, located in the southern part of M.P., is the countryside in which Rudyard Kipling set his Jungle Book. It is on the Satpura plateau, and over one-third of it is covered by dense forest, making it an important destination for wildlife tourism. The main income of this region comes from the timber industry, especially teak.
Seoni gets its name from the seona tree which is very common in the area. In fact the tribals make their drums or dholaks out of the wood of this tree. This is predominantly a tribal area and is rich in folk culture. The River Wainganga is the main source of life here and has a famous mud dam across it; known to be Asia's largest.
Seoni town is half way between Nagpur and Jabalpur on the NH 27. It was founded in 1774 by the British, and over the years grew into a major commercial centre and rail junction of the Satpura Plateau. It has several sawmills and oil mills and is also a main production centre of lac bangles. |
