Ambedkar Nagar district (Hindi: अंबेडकर नगर ज़िला, Urdu: امبیڈکر نگر ضلع‎) is a district in the Faizabad division. It was created on 29 September 1995 by the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati, and was named after architect of the Constitution of India, Dr.Bhimrao Ambedkar.

Geography

The total area of the district is 2520 km². Approximately 90% of the population lives in small farming villages. According to the OMMS database there are 3,955 villages in the Ambedkar Nagar District.[1] Because of the dispersed nature of these small villages, the district is divided administratively into nine blocks: Akbarpur, Baskhari, Bhiti, Bhiyam, Tanduikala Rajesultanpur, Jalalpur, Katehari, Ramnager, and Tanda.

The city of Akbarpur is situated on the bank of the River Tons (Tamasa), which divides the city into the two parts Akbarpur and Shahzadpur, with the latter being the main commercial centre of the city. The Saryu River is the main river and is located at the northern boundary of the district. The Tanda, Tanduikala [Rajesultanpur], Ramnager and Baskhari blocks are located along this river and use its water for irrigation. Irrigation in the Baskhari block is also from Lake Devhat and the Rajesultanpur Lakes. Lake Darvan provides water in the Katehari block. The Akbarpur, Bhiti, Bhiyam, and Jalapur blocks depend upon smaller rivers and seasonal streams.
