There are twenty-four districts in Jharkhand. When Jharkhand was first created as a state on November 15, 2000, it had just eighteen districts. Six additional districts were created out of the existing eighteen districts during the course of the following few years of reorganisation. As a result, Jharkhand now has 24 districts instead of just 18.
