The western Indian state of Gujarat has 34 districts after several splits of the original 17 districts at the formation of the state in 1960.[2] Kutch is the largest district of Gujarat while Dang is the smallest. Ahmedabad is the most populated district while Dang is the least. There are 251 Talukas (subdivisions of districts) in Gujarat.[3][4]

The district administration is headed by the District Collector, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer appointed by the government. The Collector is assisted by Additional Collectors and Deputy Collectors at the district (collectorate) level, Prant Officers (Sub-Divisional Magistrates) at the subdivision (prant) level, and Mamlatdars at the taluka level.[5][6]
