List of districts of India
About 16 pages (4,797 words)
A district is an administrative division of a state in India. India is divided into twenty-eight states , six Union territories (UT) and one national capital territory . Each state or UT is subdivided into districts for administration purposes. Currently India has 604 districts. The power to change district borders, create new districts or merge existing districts lies with respective state government.
Officials The District Collector or Deputy Commissioner or District Magistrate , an officer belonging to the Indian Administrative Service , is in charge of the general administration and revenue collection. He is also responsible for the law and order of the district. Cities like Mumbai despite coming under a district do not have a district headquarters, though it does have a Collector. The Superintendent of Police or Deputy Commissioner of Police, an officer belonging to the Indian Police Service is entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining law and order and related issues of the district. He is assisted by the officers of the State Police Service and other State Police officials. The Deputy Conservator of Forests , an officer belonging to the Indian Forest Service is responsible for managing the Forests, environment and wild-life related issues of the district. He is assisted by the officers of the State Forest Service and other State Forest officials and State Wild-Life officials.
Divisions Districts are subdived into sub-divisions and tehsils or talukas (the later title more common across the four states of southern India ). Taluks are subdvided into Firhas Firkas are subdivided into Revenue villages Revenue Villages are subdivided into Villages
