Questions people ask
How many districts does India have?
The official Government of India web directory lists 790 districts in 36 states and union territories, as on 11 November 2026.
Where does this information come from?
The list of districts is from iGOD, the directory of the National Informatics Centre. Headquarters, 2011 population and other facts are from Wikidata, an open database. Both are named on every page.
Why does a district show "Not recorded"?
Wikidata has no value for it, or the value failed our checks. New districts often have no census figure, because the last census was in 2011.
Two districts have the same name. Which is which?
Several names repeat across states, such as Bilaspur, Hamirpur, Aurangabad and Pratapgarh. The finder shows the state beside each name.
