The Indian state of Rajasthan is located in the northwestern part of the country. For the administrative purposes the state is divided into 41 districts and 7 divisions.[1] After the state of Uttar Pradesh with 75 districts and Madhya Pradesh with 57 districts, Rajasthan ranks third in India by number of districts. Rajasthan covers 342,239 square kilometers (132,139 square miles) making it the largest state in India by area.

The responsibilities of district management in the state 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.

Demands for new districts

[edit]

There are ongoing demands across Rajasthan for the creation of more than 50 new administrative districts to improve local governance and accessibility. The movement for administrative decentralization has seen various political notifications and subsequent reversals.

Notably, the previous state government had established several new districts. However, in late 2024 and early 2025, the succeeding administration officially dissolved nine of these newly created districts and formally revoked the notifications for three others, a decision that resulted in localized protests.[2][3][4]
