The Indian state of Madhya Pradesh came into existence on 1 November 1956. Madhya Pradesh has various geographic regions which have no official administrative governmental status; some correspond to historic countries, states or provinces. Currently, the number of districts in the state is 55.[1] and Of these Mauganj, Pandhurna & Maihar are newly created districts. 2 new districts, Chachaura and Nagda, were approved by the state cabinet on 18th March 2020.[2] These 55 districts are grouped into 10 administrative divisions. Districts are subdivided into tehsils, of which there are 428 in Madhya Pradesh. Each of these districts is administered by a Collector-cum-District Magistrate, an IAS officer appointed by the government. The districts are further divided into subdivisions and tehsils, under a Sub-Divisional Magistrate and a Tehsildar, respectively.[3]
