Administration divisions of Indian state of Rajasthan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indian state of Rajasthan is divided into 50 districts for administrative purposes.[1]
The responsibilities of district management are carried out by All-India officials and state-appointed officials. The All-India officials in each district are a Deputy Commissioner or district Magistrate (from the Indian Administrative Service), a Superintendent of Police (from the Indian Police Service) and a Deputy Conservator of Forests (from the Indian Forest Service), each of which is assisted by officers of various Rajasthan state services. The state-appointed officials are responsible for matters such as health, education, and other primary facilities.
On 17 March 2023, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced the creation of 19 new districts and 3 new divisions, while Jaipur district and Jodhpur district would cease to exist (becoming Jaipur Urban, Jaipur rural, Jodhpur urban, and Jodhpur rural), thus number of districts was increased to 50 and divisions to 10.
Later, On 6 October 2023, Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot announced three new districts, but no official notification was published in this regard. The three districts announced were Malpura, Sujangarh, and Kuchaman City.[2][3][4] Therefore the total Number of districts in Rajasthan stands at 50.
