Rajasthan is divided into 50 districts. The chief minister of Rajasthan announced firstly the 19 districts, and now they have turned out to be 50. These 50 districts are managed and looked after by a Superintendent of Police to the District Magistrate overseeing each district.
These districts fall under the jurisdiction of the seven divisions of Ajmer, Kota, Jaipur, Bharatpur, Bikaner, and Udaipur. Rajasthan's districts are separated into several divisions for administrative ease.
