List of districts in Madhya Pradesh facts for kids
Madhya Pradesh is a large state located in the heart of India. To help manage its many towns and villages, the state is divided into smaller areas called 'districts'. These districts are then grouped together into even larger areas known as 'divisions'. Imagine it like a big school: the school is the state, the grades are the divisions, and the classrooms are the districts! Madhya Pradesh currently has 55 districts, which are organized into ten main divisions.
