"For the first time a voluminous work is presented here giving authentic and encyclopaedic information about the 526 districts of India spread over 25 states and seven union territories. All the information, facts and figures collected by the heads of the various departments of the districts have been incorporated with much care in this valuable study. All the districts are arranged statewise in six zones--southern, northern, central, western, eastern and north-eastern. A map of each district, beautiful colour and black and white photographs, a detailed introduction to each state and union territory and a concise introduction about India are the salient features of this prestigious publication.
"The encyclopaedia affords you an insight into the historical evolution of each district, its present development, the people inhabiting it, its geography, social and economic development, administrative set-up and much more. The work is profusely illustrated with colour and black and white photographs, maps and charts to make it interesting and understandable to the serious minded as well as lay readers."
