Moga district is one of the twenty-three districts in the state of Punjab, India. It became the 17th district of Punjab state on 24 November 1995, being cut from Faridkot district. Moga district is among the largest producers of wheat and rice in Punjab, India. People from Moga city and Moga district belong to the Malwa culture. The district is noted for being the homeland for a high-proportion of Indian Punjabi expatriates who emigrated abroad and their descendants, which has given it the nickname of "NRI district".[2]
Moga city, the headquarters of the district, is situated on Ferozpur-Moga-Ludhiana road. Moga is well-known for its Nestlé factory,[2][3] Adani Food Pvt Ltd[citation needed], and vehicle modifications[citation needed]. Highways connected with Moga are Jalandhar, Barnala, Ludhiana, Ferozpur, Kotkapura, Amritsar. Bus services and Railway services are well connected with some major cities like Ludhiana, Chandigarh, and Delhi.
Moga district is notable for its higher standards-of-living compared to neighbouring Punjabi districts, based upon metrics such as access to education, electrification, and medical-care.[4] Much of this is attributed to the economic development of the district in the agricultural sector, such as the dairy industry.[4]
