Rohtak district came into existence in the state of Haryana in 1824, and by 1991, it was divided into five tehsils, namely Rohtak, Jhajjar, Bahadurgarh, Meham and Gohana, with Badli, Beri and Matanhail serving as sub-tehsils. Rohtak became the divisional headquarters of the district just before that.
It is a part of the National Capital Region (NCR) and is quickly turning into the state’s own industrial city. Rohtak is called the city of fasteners because of its fastener and turned parts industry. This industry also forms a vital part of the district’s exports. Agriculture is the primary industry in the region.
The Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) has created an industrial model township that boosts industrial development further. What’s more is that well-known educational institutions are also situated here, making Rohtak an emerging educational and industrial center.

Rohtak Infrastructure
Industrial infrastructure is improving day by day in Rohtak. The industrial model township set up by the HSIIDC has aided industries in setting up their units in the region. The Japanese township along NH-10 and two more planned townships are yet to come up. More industries means more residential infrastructure is on the way, in order to make way for the workforce that will enter the region.
Educational resources are also rich with institutes like the Indian Institute of Management and the Maharshi Dayanand University situated here. The city also imparts Ayurvedic knowledge through the Gaur Brahman Ayurvedic College. Proposals have also been put forward to improve road infrastructure in the region.
