About District
Sundargarh district was constituted on the 1st January, 1948 out of the two ex-States of Gangpur and Bonai, which merged with Orissa on that day. True to its name, this "beautiful" district of Sundargarh with about 43% of its total area under forest cover and numerous colourful tribes dotting its landscape and with abundant mining potential is bounded by Ranchi District of Jharkhand on the North, Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh on the west and North-West, Jharsuguda, Sambalpur and Angul District of Orissa on the South and South-East and Singhbhum District of Jharkhand and Keonjhar District of Orissa on the east.

SUNDARGARH – An undultating table land of different elevations, broken up by rugged hill-ranges and cut off by the territorial hill-streams and rivers is one of the few districts in Orissa, which is endowed with the bounties of natural beauty and mineral wealth. Until the establishment of the Rourkela Steel Plant, the district was relatively clam and quite. The cultural activities of the tribes are gradually changing due to their contact with the cosmopolitan city of Rourkela. A visit of the district enables one to have a glimpse of the ancient tribal culture amidst the modern excitements of the science and technology.
ROURKELA: A place with a natural setting, girdled by a green range of hills and encircled by rivers, Rourkela has come in to prominence with the establishment in 1955 of the first of the three Public Sector Steel Plants set up in India. It is one of the most modern steel plants deploying the latest technology in smelting steel. Spread over an area of about 45 sq. kms. this is the biggest planned town in Orissa which exudes an air of friendliness and tranquility and has become the nerve center of all social and cultural activities of the district. Other attractions in the town include the beautifully landscaped Indira Gandhi Park with a zoo and a lake and the fertilizer complex attached to the steel plant.
The S.E. Railways passes through Panposh and Sundargarh Sub-divisions of the district with the biggest station at Rourkela which has direct connection with New Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai, Madras, Tatangar, Bokaro, Puri and a number of important places in the country.
