Faridkot District

Out of the twenty two numbers of districts of the Indian state of Punjab, the district of Faridkot is one. The district of Faridkot is considered to be a Malwa District as per the Geo-Area of Punjab. The name of the district has been derived from the name of the person called Baba Farid. In the entire South-East Asia, this place makes up one of the biggest cotton markets. Under the administration of the British Government, this place was a feudalist province; at present, this place is a district in the Indian state of Punjab. On the 7th August, 1972, the status of a distinct district was given to Faridkot. The district was constructed by taking out portions of area from the districts of Bathinda and Ferozepur. The event of separation of the Faridkot District took place on November 1995. Two more districts named Muktsar and Moga were created.
