Independence Auraiya and its seperation from Etawah district The nation always venerated those who had participated in the
struggle. Till January, 1974, 548 persons of the district who had taken part in India's
freedom struggle or their dependants were awarded Tamra Patras, i.e. copper plates
containing a record of the services rendered by them or their forebears. This is a number
which any district can boast of without exaggerating its role.
Since then the District Administration of Etawah and
Auraiya jointly is normal and the socio-economic environment remained as usual except
minor ups and downs.
On 17th September, 1997 two tehsils named Auraiya and
Bidhuna were seperated from district Etawah to form the new district named as Auraiya. It
is situated on National Highway no. 2 (Mughal Sarai Road) and 64 km. in the east of
district headquarter of Etawah and 105 km. in west of Kanpur city. |
