Demands for new districts There are ongoing demands across Rajasthan for the creation of more than 50 new administrative districts to improve local governance and accessibility. The movement for administrative decentralization has seen various political notifications and subsequent reversals.
Notably, the previous state government had established several new districts. However, in late 2024 and early 2025, the succeeding administration officially dissolved nine of these newly created districts and formally revoked the notifications for three others, a decision that resulted in localized protests.Protests erupted across Rajasthan after the BJP government denotified nine districts established by the previous Congress government., Times of India, 30 Dec 2024.
