Subdivision is an administrative unit below district level and above the block or Tehsil level in the Indian state of Jharkhand. Presently there are 45 subdivisions in 24 districts of Jharkhand. Subdivisions are a group of blocks and it is administered by Sub-divisional Officer (SDO) also called as Sub-divisional Magistrate (SDM) who performs functions similar to those of the District Magistrate (DM) at the subdivision level.
In Jharkhand, SDMs are officers of either the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) or the Jharkhand Administrative Service (JAS), with the majority belonging to the IAS. Similarly, law and order situation in a subdivision is overseen by a Sub-divisional Police Officer (SDPO), who generally holds the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (Dy.SP).
