Mansa is situated in the cotton belt of Punjab and therefore fondly called the "Area of white gold". Indeed agriculture forms the backbone of the district economy. During the months of November and December a visitor to this part of Punjab shall be the proud witness to the pristine, milky white bloom of cotton, as nature blossoms in her full glory. The view is indeed breath taking. While traversing the countryside, one gets a feeling of sailing through clouds. Industrially, the district is very deficient, yet some trade and industry is being carried out in urban areas. Major Project of Thermal Power Plant is going to construct soon in 2008 which will start producing power by 2012.
