A district is an administrative division of a state in India. India is divided into twenty-eight states and seven Union territories (UT).

The District Collector (also known as the Deputy Commissioner or District Magistrate) is responsible for the general administration and revenue collection. He is also responsible for the law and order of the district. The Superintendent of Police or Deputy Commissioner of Police, an officer belonging to the Indian Police Service is entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining law and order and related issues of the district.
