Mauganj has become the 53rd district of Madhya Pradesh. The Revenue Department has also issued an order for the formation of the district on Sunday. Collector and SP have also been posted in Mauganj district, which was carved out of Rewa.

2013 batch IAS officer Sonia Meena, who was hitherto posted as Director with Tribal Welfare Department, was appointed as the first collector of Mauganj. But, in a late night order, IAS officer Ajay Shrivastav, who was posted as Additional Commissioner, Tribal Welfare, was posted as the first Collector of the newly formed district of the state. Further, the order issued in the evening for Sonia Meena was cancelled by the government.

At the same time, IPS officer Virendra Kumar Jain has become the first SP. Mr. Jain was earlier posted as Commandant 8th Battalion in Chhindwara. Other officers will also be appointed this week. This district has been formed by combining the three tehsils of Mauganj, Hanumana and Naigadhi. Its headquarter will be Mauganj.
