The administrative structure of Tripura is organized into a hierarchical system designed to facilitate governance across the state. The state is divided into a handful of administrative districts, each of which is overseen by a district magistrate who also serves as the district collector.1

For more localized administrative purposes, each district is further broken down into the following units:

  • Subdivisions: These are the primary administrative divisions within each district.1
  • Tehsils: These smaller units are contained within the subdivisions.1
  • Villages and Towns: Each tehsil encompasses a number of villages and, in some cases, a few towns.1

This structure ensures that government administration reaches the local level throughout the state.1
