RAS question
Jaipur district falls under which administrative division?
Correct answer: (D) Jaipur Division.
Jaipur district falls under Jaipur Division in Rajasthan's administrative set-up.
Explanation
Jaipur district is part of Jaipur Division. The Jaipur Development Authority's Master Development Plan-2025, Volume 1, states this under "Administrative Set-up." Jaipur city is the headquarters of both the district and the division. Because the district and division share the name Jaipur, the district should not be confused with other Rajasthan divisions such as Bharatpur, Kota, or Ajmer. In Rajasthan's administrative geography, Jaipur district must therefore be mapped to Jaipur Division.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Bharatpur Division is a separate administrative division, and Jaipur district does not fall under it.
- (B) Kota Division is associated with the Hadoti region and does not include Jaipur district, which belongs to Jaipur Division.
- (C) Ajmer Division is separate; Jaipur district belongs to Jaipur Division, not Ajmer Division.
Concept
Knowing which division each Rajasthan district belongs to is important for RAS because it helps identify district and divisional headquarters and distinguish nearby administrative regions.
