[4] The company was led by Major Shaitan Singh, who won a posthumous Param Vir Chakra for his actions.

Every year memorial functions are held by the Samiti in collaboration with district administration and the Kumaon Regiment.

According to the 2011 census, Rewari district has a population of 900,332, roughly equal to the nation of Fiji[7] or the US state of Delaware.

Rewari, Mahendergarh, Narnaul, Gurgaon, Kotkasim, Kotputli, Bansur, Behror and Mundawar are considered as the centre of Ahirwati speaking area.

Proximity with the Delhi and the presence of minerals in the district has allowed Rewari to possess a mixed type of economy.

The formation of the district coincided with economic liberalisation in India and movement of industries from Delhi to the National Capital Region in its periphery.

To overcome this, work on Jawaharl Lal Nehru (JLN) canal was started in 1974-75 to bring water by successive lifts using high capacity pumps.

The JLN feeder is 104 kilometres long channel taking off from tail of Delhi parallel branch at Khubru.

[11] Major Kharif crop grown in the district is bajra (pearl millet) in over 60,000 hectares of land.

Minor crops include paddy, jowar (sorghum), cotton and Kharif vegetables like onion, turnip, cucumber etc.

Rapeseed and mustard seed are important cash crops grown alongside wheat in the Rabi season.

[12] Lack of green fodder means that Rewari has comparatively less numbers of animals reared than other districts of Haryana.

The main area of supply from this mandi is mustard, wheat & vegetables from the local farmers.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the Bhartiya Janata Party managed to win all three assembly segments in the district.
