POLITICAL SCENARIO:

Prominent figures associated with this region include BJP leader Banwarilal Agrawal, former MP Dr. Banshilal Mahato, and former Home Minister Nankiram Kanwar.                                                                                                The main economic base of the Korba region is comprised of jobholders, traders, contractors, and farmers. Due to organizations like Chhattisgarh State Power Corporation, National Thermal Power Corporation, Bharat Aluminium Company (BALCO), South Eastern Coalfields Limited, and other small industries, the economic situation in this area is robust.

In 2001, the long labor strike during the restructuring of Bharat Aluminium Company (BALCO) had a significant impact on the region's image. Despite that, there have been several scandals related to contracts in this area in recent decades. Nevertheless, there has been improvement in the prosperity of the Korba region in the past few decades.
