Aurangabad district is one of the thirty-eight districts of Bihar state, India. It is currently a part of the Red Corridor.[2]
Aurangabad is also called "Chittorgarh" of Bihar because the number of Suryavanshi Rajputs is very high here.
Aurangabad played a major role in the Indian independence struggle,[3] and is also the birthplace of eminent nationalist & first Deputy Chief Minister of state, Bihar Vibhuti Dr. Anugrah Narayan Sinha, a participant of Champaran Satyagraha who is regarded among makers of modern independent Bihar.[4]
