Maharashtra is one of the biggest states in India and has many districts that help in better management and development. Over the years, some new districts have been created by dividing larger ones to make things easier for people and the government. These new districts help bring government services close to local people and focus on their needs. Let’s learn about the newest district in Maharashtra.
Maharashtra is a large state in western India that covers a big part of the Deccan Plateau. It is bordered by the Arabian Sea on the west and shares its borders with many Indian states like Karnataka, Goa, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. It is the second most populated state in India and one of the most populated regions in the world.
Maharashtra has a total of 36 districts. For better administration, these districts are grouped into six revenue divisions. Each division helps manage government work more easily and ensures smooth functioning across different parts of the state.
Palghar is the newest district of Maharashtra. It was formed on August 1, 2014, after being separated from the Thane district. Palghar became the 36th district of Maharashtra and is known for its coastal location and large tribal population.
Palghar is a town in the Konkan division of Maharashtra. It is a part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and is an important place on the Wester Railway Line. The town lies about 87 km north of Mumbai, 35 km north of Virar, and about 24 km west of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway. This makes Palghar a well-connected and strategic location. Since 2014, it has been the district headquarters.
Palghar was earlier part of Thane district. It includes areas like Jawhar, Vasai, and Palghar tehsils, which have a rich historical background.
Palghar also played a brave role in the Quit India Movement of 1942. It was one of the centers of the Chalejav Movement, where people rose against British rule.
