The State of Kerala consists of 14 districts, which are further divided into 27 revenue divisions.
A revenue division is positioned below the district and encompasses several taluks within its administrative purview. Each revenue division is headed by a Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO), who may be a Sub-Collector from the IAS cadre or a Deputy Collector from the state service. The RDO also functions as the Sub-divisional magistrate and assisted by Senior Superintendent among others.
Revenue divisions are subdivisions of districts under the Revenue Department.
The below table details the 27 revenue divisions with respect to their districts.
