Tamil Nadu Chief Minister announced that Vellore district would be trifurcated to create two more districts, Ranipet and Tirupattur. the latest move will take the total number of districts to 37.
About:
The idea behind creating new districts in any state is, generally, that it is expected to make governance easier; sometimes, the decision is driven by local demands.
The larger states predicatbly have a higher number of districts, with Uttar Pradesh (75) leading the count, followed by Madhya Pradesh (52), while the smallest state, Goa (2), has the lowest number.
However, the number of districts in a state is not always a function of the area of the state, or of its population.
For example, Andhra Pradesh is the seventh largest state by area but has among the smallest counts of districts at 13. As such, it has only one district for every 12,000 sq km, which is the largest average size for a district in any Indian state.
