'''Agar Malwa District''' is a district in the state of [[Madhya Pradesh]] in [[India]]. It was carved out of [[Shajapur district]]. Its administrative headquarters are situated in the town of [[Agar, Madhya Pradesh|Agar]].

==History==
It was a division during the [[Gwalior State|Sindhia state]] (some of their palaces are still presently used for city court and for other government offices). It was formerly a cantonment region at the time of India's independence because of the favourable weather and the availability of water. It was a district under the state of [[Madhya Bharat]] after the independence of India until 1956. Since 16 August 2013 Agar Malwa has been the 51st [[List of districts of Madhya Pradesh|district of Madhya Pradesh]]. The district was formed by removing Agar, Badod, Susner and Nalkheda tehsils from [[Shajapur district|Shajapur District]], decreasing its size.<ref>{{cite web |title=History of Agar Malwa district |url=https://agarmalwa.nic.in/en/history/ |access-date=7 October 2019}}</ref> It was formerly a cantonment region at the time of India's independence because of the favourable weather and the availability of water. It was a district under the state of Madhya Bharat after the independence of India until 1956. Since 16 August 2013 Agar Malwa has been the 51st district of Madhya Pradesh.

==Geography==
The western part of the district is marked by the Agar Plateau that covers the major areas of Agar Malwa district. There is a hill tract to the west of the town of [[Badod]], showing scattered hillocks in a north-south direction. The presence of hills in the center has affected the drainage pattern. The height of this tract varies between {{convert|500|m}} and {{convert|545|m}} above the mean sea level and it slopes towards the north.

[[Dudhaliya]] and [[Kachhol]] are the main streams in the west, originating from the hill tract and draining towards the west. [[Kali Sindh River|Chhoti Kali Sindh]], which is the main perennial stream of the region, flows northwards on the western border of the region.

== Demographics ==
At the time of the 2011 census, Agar Malwa district had a population of 571,278. 453,949 of these were rural and 117,329 were urban.
