Question

Why have States and Union Territories been divided into smaller units? What are these units called?

Answer 1

Being a large country, India is divided into states and union territories. They have been further divided into smaller units. This has been done because carrying out the administration of the huge country like India from one place is not possible. The division of the country into several units has enabled better governance of the country. These smaller units are known as districts. Today there are more than 600 districts in India.
