Angul is a newly created district since 1^st April, 1993 after  reorganisation of the districts of Orissa. Clothed with lush green   forests, the district is rich in varieties of wildlife. The  river Mahanadi passes through  this  district   forming   a   22km  long  narrow  gorge,  one  of  the   mightiest   gorges  in   India. Popularly known as "Satkosia", it is an ideal habitat for varieties of crocodiles. The phenomenon of boulders in Talcher area is unique in India and has puzzled the geologists for centuries.

At present  the locational  advantage and  abundant  stock of  manpower  and   raw materials play  an  important  role  in  the   industrial  development  of  the district.  A  visit   to the district  will be a rewarding experience.
