It was separated from Madhya Pradesh on November 1, 2000, and is the 9th largest state by land area.
Capital: Raipur.
Language: Primarily Chhattisgarhi and Hindi.
Nickname: "Dhan ka Katora" (bowl of rice) due to rice production, and known for rich forests (more than 41% forest cover, 3rd place in India).
Economy: One of the fastest-growing states with a strong focus on:
Coal (3rd largest reserves), Steel production (Bhilai), Electricity, Agriculture (especially rice).
Nature & culture: Many forests, waterfalls (such as Chitrakote, the "Niagara of India").
Rich tribal culture (many indigenous communities, especially in Bastar),
historical temples, caves, and ancient monuments.
In short: a resource-rich, forested, and culturally diverse state that is developing rapidly, but still has relatively little tourism.
