Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Rajasthan is a large state in India. To help manage it better, it's divided into 33 smaller parts called districts. Think of it like breaking a large puzzle into smaller, easier-to-handle pieces. These districts help the government look after everything from schools to hospitals and safety for everyone living there.

Exploring Rajasthan's Districts

Rajasthan is a big state in India. To make it easier to manage, it is split into 33 smaller areas called districts. These districts are then grouped into seven bigger sections called divisions. This helps the government keep things organized. It's like having different teams to manage different parts of a big project.

Who Manages the Districts?

Each district has important officials who help run things smoothly. These officials come from two main groups:

  • All-India Officials: These are officers chosen from across India. They include:

** Deputy Commissioner or District Magistrate: This person is like the main leader of the district. They handle many important tasks, including keeping law and order. ** Superintendent of Police: This officer is in charge of all police activities in the district. Their main job is to keep people safe and prevent crime. ** Deputy Conservator of Forests: This official looks after the forests and wildlife in the district. They work to protect nature and its resources.

  • State-Appointed Officials: These officials are chosen by the Rajasthan state government. They help manage specific areas like health, education, and farming within each district. They make sure people get the services they need.
