Uttar Pradesh, a state in northern India, holds significant political, economic, and social importance in the country. Known for its rich cultural heritage and unique traditions, Uttar Pradesh is the fourth-largest state in India, covering an area of 240,928 square kilometers, which constitutes about 7.33% of the total geographical area of India.
Spanning across 240,928 square kilometers, Uttar Pradesh ranks as the fourth largest state in India, constituting 7.33% of the nation’s total geographical expanse. Within India’s expansive landscape, Uttar Pradesh’s territory encompasses 2.4%, underscoring its considerable size.
Uttar Pradesh is intricately organized into 75 districts, meticulously structured under 18 divisions. Among these, the sprawling Lucknow division stands as the largest. Notable districts include Lakhimpur Kheri, Sonbhadra, and Hardoi, each contributing to the state’s diverse landscape. Balrampur marks the easternmost point, Saharanpur the northernmost, Sonbhadra the southernmost, and Shamli the westernmost, highlighting the state’s geographical reach.
The political landscape of Uttar Pradesh holds immense significance within the Indian milieu. Its representation in various legislative bodies, including Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, Vidhan Sabha, and Vidhan Parishad, underscores its pivotal role. A focal point of Indian politics, Uttar Pradesh boasts a formidable 403 seats in the Vidhan Sabha alone.
Amidst the myriad districts of Uttar Pradesh, three stand out with the fewest legislative seats: Shravasti, Mahoba, and Chitrakoot. Situated at strategic junctures, Shravasti shares its border with Nepal, while Mahoba and Chitrakoot maintain connections with Madhya Pradesh.
Within these districts, legislative representation remains modest, with each district hosting a mere two legislative seats. Despite their limited numbers, these districts play a crucial role in the broader political landscape of Uttar Pradesh.
