Rajasthan To Have 19 New Districts, 3 Divisions - Check Complete List Here

New Delhi: The Ashok Gehlot-led Rajasthan Cabinet on Friday approved the proposal of a high-level committee to form 19 new districts and three new divisions in the state. After the Gehlot government's nod, Rajasthan will now have a total of 50 districts.

"These new districts will give a new impetus to the development of the state," Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said after the key cabinet meeting at his residence in the state capital Jaipur.

The formation of new districts will improve governance and bring relief to people who have to cover long distances to go to district headquarters for various works, he said.

The senior Congress leader also told reporters that ministers in charge of the new districts will do a formal launch on August 7.
