Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Announces 19 New Districts, 50 Total in the State

Gehlot stated that various states of the country have been ahead of Rajasthan in creating new districts, and recently West Bengal, a smaller state than Rajasthan geographically, has also announced seven new districts. Therefore, demands have been received from many places in the state to form new districts. Gehlot said that after a detailed study and discussion of all the proposals received in this regard and the structure of the present administrative units of the state, he announced the formation of new districts in the state.

Gehlot said that due to the formation of 19 new districts in this way, there will be a total of 50 districts in the state. All of these have contact with the state headquarters through the divisional headquarters. Therefore, with a view to strengthen this arrangement, he also announced the creation of three new divisions in the state - Banswara, Pali, and Sikar. Two thousand crore rupees are proposed to be spent in the first phase to provide strong infrastructure and human resources to these new administrative units (district and divisional headquarters) without delay.

Gehlot said that in the last four years, by strengthening the state's infrastructure, providing social security to the common people and the needy, and providing livelihood resources along with development in the social sector, Rajasthan has been made a model state of the country by bringing prosperity in the state. It is their commitment to provide sensitive, accountable and transparent administration in the state.

In conclusion, Gehlot's announcement of the creation of 19 new districts in Rajasthan, connecting villages with more than 500 population by asphalt road, opening 500 new sub-health centers, upgrading hundreds of schools, and creating three new divisions in the state is expected to make monitoring/control over administration, management and law and order easy and smooth. Furthermore, it is expected to strengthen the state's infrastructure, provide social security to the common people and the needy, and provide livelihood resources, leading to prosperity in the state.
