Explanation:

Barwani District was formed on 25th May 1998. It was carved out of West-Nimar, Khargone district. Barwani is situated on the south-west side of Madhya Pradesh as well as Holy River Narmada is its northern border. The district is surrounded by Satpuda (in South) and Vindhyachal (in North) forest ranges. The name Badwani originated from the forests of Bad which had surrounded the city in old times. Wani is the old word for the Garden. And hence the city got its name Badwani which means Garden of Bads. Barwani is still pronounced as Badwani but it spells Barwani.
