  • The hilly region is now divided between the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, with the larger portion lying in the latter state
  • As understood by the state governments of Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Madhya Pradesh (MP), ‘Bundelkhand’ comprises seven districts of southern UP and six districts of northern MP:
    • Jhansi, Lalitpur, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Banda, Chitrakoot districts (all in UP), and
    • Datia, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Panna, Sagar and Damoh districts (all in MP).
