Three new divisional headquarters have been created. Sikar, Pali and Banswara. While it is not yet clear which districts will fall under these headquarters, the government has paid special attention to the region. Banswara has been carved out of the tribal belt of Mewar, Pali from Marwar, and Sikar from Shekhawati.
The announcement was made after the High Power Committee, headed by retired IAS Ramlubhaya, was given an extension of six months to suggest the formation of new districts. Leaders from 60 different places had submitted separate memorandums to the committee demanding the creation of new districts.
The move is aimed at promoting better administration and ensuring equitable distribution of resources in the state. With the creation of new districts and divisions, the government hopes to improve governance and bring development to every corner of Rajasthan.
