Administration
Etawah district is administered by an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer serving as the District Magistrate (DM), who is responsible for the overall administration, law and order, and implementation of government policies in the district.
For effective governance, the district is subdivided into six sub-divisions or tehsils, each managed by a Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM). These tehsils serve as the primary revenue and administrative units, handling tasks such as maintenance of land records, revenue collection, and overseeing local governance.
Further, the tehsils are organized into eight development blocks, each headed by a Block Development Officer (BDO) [2] . The BDOs are tasked with planning, implementing, and monitoring development programs, rural infrastructure projects, and government welfare schemes at the grassroots level.
The tehsils and blocks collectively ensure that administrative functions, public services, and developmental activities reach the local population efficiently. This hierarchical structure facilitates coordinated governance, promotes accountability, and allows for effective execution of central and state government initiatives within the district.
The six tehsils of Etawah district are:
