Assam sub-districts renamed co-districts under new administrative reforms

Assam government has approved the renaming of the newly created "sub-districts" as "co-districts." This decision, which supersedes the Department's earlier notifications—ECF.No 374321/6 dated 12th September 2023 and ECF.No 458412/76 dated 28th September 2024—comes into immediate effect.

As per the revised directive, the Additional District Commissioner in charge of these co-districts will now hold the official title of Co-District Commissioner (CDC). 

Furthermore, the co-districts will be referred to as "Xama-Zilla" in Assamese, and the Co-District Commissioner will be known as "Xama-Zilla Aayukta" in the regional language.
