What is Gulbarga Division?

A "division" in India is a way to organize a state into smaller parts. It helps the government manage different areas more easily. Gulbarga Division is one of four such divisions in Karnataka. It brings together several districts under one administrative umbrella. This makes it simpler to coordinate activities and services across the region.

Districts in Gulbarga Division

The Gulbarga Division is made up of six important districts. These districts are like smaller puzzle pieces that fit together to form the division. They include:

  • Bellary
  • Bidar
  • Gulbarga (also known as Kalaburagi)
  • Koppal
  • Yadgir
  • Raichur

Each of these districts has its own unique features and history. Grouping them into a division helps in planning and development for the entire region.

Gulbarga City: The Main Hub

The city of Gulbarga is the central point for the entire Gulbarga Division. It's where many important offices and decisions for the division are made. This city is also known as Kalaburagi. It plays a key role in the administration and daily life of the surrounding districts.

A Look Back: Gulbarga's History

The area that is now Gulbarga Division has an interesting past. Before 1956, this region was part of a much larger area called the Hyderabad State.

Before 1956: Part of Hyderabad

For a long time, before India became fully independent and reorganized its states, the Gulbarga region was part of the princely state of Hyderabad. This state was ruled by a Nizam. In 1956, India reorganized its states based on language. This led to the Gulbarga region becoming part of the new state of Karnataka. This change helped bring together people who spoke the same language, Kannada, into one state.
