The Indian state of Rajasthan is divided into 50 districts for administrative purposes.[1]

The responsibilities of district management are carried out by All-India officials and state-appointed officials. The All-India officials in each district are a Deputy Commissioner or district Magistrate (from the Indian Administrative Service), a Superintendent of Police (from the Indian Police Service) and a Deputy Conservator of Forests (from the Indian Forest Service), each of which is assisted by officers of various Rajasthan state services. The state-appointed officials are responsible for matters such as health, education, and other primary facilities.

On 17 March 2023, Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot announced the creation of 19 new districts, while Jaipur district and Jodhpur district would cease to exist (becoming Jaipur North, Jaipur South, Jodhpur East, and Jodhpur West), thus number of districts will increase to 50.[2]
