About

Another version connects Rohtak with Rohitaka, which is mentioned in Mahabharta and bears a connection with the campaign of Nakula, the Pandva warrior.

The areas of Rohtak district under went many changes, extending over hundreds of years before the administrative unit emerged in its present form. Under the Mughal Emperor Akbar, when his Minister Todar Mal divided North India into administrative circles, the areas of Rohtak (as a part of Suba of Delhi) fell within the Sarkars of Delhi and Hisar firuqa. Lying close to the imperial city of Delhi, the tract which now comprises the Rohtak district, was often granted in military jagir by the Sultan and Mughal emperors to the nobles of the court. For this reason, Rajput, Brahman, Afghan and Baluch chiefs have at different times enjoyed its revenues.

Today’s Rohtak is a throbbing industrial city. The Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) has developed an Industrial Model Township (IMT) at National Highway No. 10, near Rohtak. Several heavy industries are developing their production and commercial plants in this huge township.
