Hi, Shall I add my ideas on these boundaries?
In my vision, The following are the most prominent administrative divisions in India: First set - Administrative boundaries 1. Territorial waters (Exclusive Economic Zone) (as per United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) 2. Zones (Interstate council) 3. States and Union Territories (Governer and Chief Minister) 4. Revenue Districts (District Collector) 5. Revenue Divisions (Revenue Divisional Officer) 6. Taluks / Tehsils (Tahsildar) 7. Revenue Villages (Village officer) 8. Survey / Re-survey /Un-survey - field measurement plots and sub divisions Second Set - Legislative boundaries 1. Lok Sabha (Parliament) Constituency [Lok Sabha - MP] 2. Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) Constituency [States and Union Territories - MLA] Third Set - Local Self Government 1. Rural a. District (Zilla) Panchayat (President and Secretary) i Divisions (Member) b. Development Blocks (Block/Mandal Panchayat) (President and Block Development Officer/Secretary) i Divisions (Member) c. Grama (Village) Panchayat ( Rural Local Authority) (President/Sarpanch and Secretary) i Wards (Member) 2. Urban a. Municipality / Municipal Corporation / Nagar Panchayat (Urban Local Authority) and Metropolitan Region (Mayor and Secretary) i. Zones ii. Wards (Councillor) 3. Cantonment area (Officer in Command) (Don't know it's divisions :( (Military area Local Authority) Fourth Set - Courts and Police 1. Jurisdiction of various courts 2. Police Districts 3. Police Circles 3. Jurisdiction of Police Stations Fifth Set - Miscellaneous 1. Special Economic Zones 2. Coastal Regulation Zone 3. Ecologically Sensitive Areas I think the above listed are the important sets, regarding the administrative divisions of India. Besides these, almost all the government departments of various tiers of administration, have their own internal administrative boundaries. -- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ - നെടുമ്പാല ജയ്സെന് - ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ (`'·.¸(`'·.¸^¸.·'´)¸.·'´) «´¨`·* .
