Angul District and the State of Hindol ; on the east by Baramba ;
on the south and south-west by the Mahanadi river, which divides it
from Khandpara and Daspalla ; and on the west by Daspalla and
Angul District. The State is reputed to have been founded 600 years

chiefs named Narsingh and Poro. It has a revenue of Rs. 66,000, and
pays a tribute of Rs. 1,450 to the British Government. The population
increased from 33,849 in 1891 to 39,613 in 1901, the density being
199 persons per square mile. It contains 198 villages, the most
important of which is Kanpur. Of the total population, all but 150
are Hindus. The most numerous castes are Chasas (6,000) and
Pans (4,000). Narsinghpur is connected with Baramba by a road
which is a continuation of that from Sankarpur in Dhenkanal. Another
road leads to Angul, and one to Hindol is under construction. The
State maintains a middle vernacular, an upper primary, and 36 lower
primary schools, and a charitable dispensary.
