Subdivisions

A district ( zila ), also known as revenue district, is an administrative division of an Indian state or territory. In some cases, districts are further subdivided into sub-divisions, and in others directly into tehsils or talukas. As of 9 December 2025, there are a total of 806 districts in India. This count includes Mahe and Yanam which are Census districts and not Administrative districts and also includes the temporary Maha Kumbh Mela district but excludes Itanagar Capital Complex which has a Deputy Commissioner but is not an official district.

Naming

The majority of districts in India take their names from the district headquarters (the principal town or administrative centre). [9]

Not all districts are named after towns. Some districts are named for prominent geographical features (for example, river names), historical regions, or notable persons associated with the area. For example, Krishna district is named for the Krishna River that flows through the region, while Mahabubnagar (Palamoor) takes its name from the town of Mahabubnagar, itself named after Mir Mahabub Ali Khan. [10] [11]

Some districts have historically used two forms of names — a traditional or historical name and a name based on the modern administrative headquarters — and in many official usages the word "district" is appended to the name (for example, "Sonipat district") to distinguish the administrative unit from the town of the same name. [12]

The reasons for district names and for changes to them can be administrative, political, cultural, or commemorative; new districts created during reorganisations are often named for their headquarters or for local landmarks, and the choice of name is normally made by the state government that creates the district. [13]
