List of new districts displayed in MP map
31st October: Till 2000, the number of districts in Madhya Pradesh state was 61 which were divided into 12 divisions.
- At this time Uttari District – Morena
- In the south- Sukma
- In the East – Jashpur
- In the west – there were Jhabua districts.
But on November 1, 2000, a state named Chhattisgarh was separated from Madhya Pradesh and in this newly formed state, 16 districts and 3 divisions were given from Madhya Pradesh, due to which Madhya Pradesh suffered loss in size as well as in minerals and paddy agricultural land. The number of districts reduced to 45 and divisions to 9. Before this, Madhya Pradesh was the largest state of entire India, this pride which was held by Rajasthan was lost. At this time, the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh was Digvijay Singh and the same Governor was Bhai Mahavir.
This change took place in the map –
- Uttari District – Morena
- In the south – East Nimad {present day Khandwa}
- West – Jhabua
- east-straight
later again
In 2003, 3 new districts were formed which are as follows.
- From Khandwa – Burhanpur {which became the district of Madhya Pradesh South}
- From Guna – Ashoknagar
- From Shahdol – Anuppur
Thus, we see the change in the map in the form of South District, along with this, the number of districts which was 45 became 48 in 2003 and the number of divisions remained 9.
Exactly after 5 years in 2008, two more new districts were formed.
- From Jhabua – Alirajpur
- Directly from Singrauli
- These 2 districts changed the western and eastern districts of Madhya Pradesh.
- Singrauli, Eastern District of Madhya Pradesh
- So Western District Alirajpur

In 2013, the Madhya Pradesh government separated Shajapur and made Agarmalwa the 51st district of Madhya Pradesh.
- On October 1, 2018, Niwari became the 52nd district apart from Tikamgarh and with this, instead of the border of 13 districts of Madhya Pradesh, the border of 14 districts started sharing with the state of Uttar Pradesh.
