History
The name "Beohari" stems from the title-prefix "Beohar", which signifies that the town was founded by a member of the Beohar dynasty. The Beohars were Rani Durgavati's prime ministers and knight-commanders, and Jagirdars of Jabalpur and their descendants continue to live there. The most notable of the Beohars is Sardar-Beohar Adhar Simha, who represented the Gond kingdom in Emperor Akbar's court, and the last Jagirdar of Jabalpur was Beohar Raghuvir Sinha. Different members of the Beohar lineage founded different settlements called Beohari, which are scattered in the Mahakoshal region of Madhya Pradesh.
Economy
Beohari is rich in mineral resources, including marble, iron ore, clay, sand and unexplored petroleum products. Beohari is economically rich and is politically active since Independence.
Agriculture is the chief economic occupation in Beohari. In recent years[when?], mustard farming has become one of the most harvested crop in Beohari due to balanced temperatures and the soil, which is loose, friable and deep.
The main crops are paddy; cereals like maize, sorghum, kodo-kutki and other small millets; pulses like tuar and udhad; and oil seeds like til, groundnut, soya-bean and sunflower.
Most of the region's population is dependent on agriculture. Mainly the tribals are marginal farmers who prefer the cultivation in the old traditional method.
Being a mountainous area, only 9% of the total crop gets irrigation. The area irrigated by canals, tubewells, dugwells and tanks. Some part of the place are in the shore of the Banas River and Jhapar River. In this area was mainly production of wheat and rice in India. In Beohari the highest number of growing wheat. A dam was built in this area in 2001.
