The District of Nuapada was a part of Kalahandi District till early March 1993.
For the administrative convenience, Kalahandi District was divided into two parts

sub-division (Nuapada), two tehsils (Nuapada and Khariar) and five Community Development
Blocks (Khariar, Sinapalli, Boden, Nuapada and Komna).
The plains of Naupada subdivision fringed by rugged hill ranges stretch southward,
which belong to the main line of the Eastern Ghats and contain extensive plateaus
of about 4000 ft in elevation with long tropical grass grown over them. They contain
such mineral deposits of laterite, graphite and bauxite.
The hill sides rising up precipitously from the plains are covered with dense sal
forests. The forests of the district are managed under Forest Division namely Khariar
Division. Timber is by far the major forest produce and sal is no doubt, a major
constituent of these products.
