Deo Town

Deo, also known as Dev, is a town, city council and notified area in the Deo block of Aurangabad district in the Indian state of Bihar. It lies about 10 km southeast of Aurangabad, the district administrative headquarters, at roughly 24.39 degrees north and 84.26 degrees east. The town stands at an average elevation of 89 metres. Wikipedia records that, as of the 2001 census of India, Deo had a population of 173,216, with an average literacy rate of 89 percent, well above the national average of 59.5 percent given there. The town is distinct from the Deo block and from other places named Deo, and the article offers only brief demographic and location facts, so this entry stays short.
