Regions and Divisions of Maharashtra

Okay kiddo, Maharashtra is a very big state in India. It is divided into different regions and divisions for better administration and governance.

Let me explain this to you with an example of your toys.

Imagine you have a big toy box full of all your toys. Now, if you want to find a toy quickly, then it will be very difficult if all your toys are thrown together in the box.

So, what if we divided your toy box into different sections? For example, one section for your cars, another for your dolls, and another for your building blocks. This way, it will be much easier to find the toy you want.

Similarly, Maharashtra is divided into different regions and divisions to make it easier for the government to manage the state.

The regions of Maharashtra are Vidarbha, Marathwada, Western Maharashtra, and Konkan.

Now, let's say you live in a big house and your parents divide it into different parts. One part is your bedroom, another is the living room, and another is the kitchen. This is called division.

Similarly, Maharashtra is also divided into different divisions. These are Pune division, Nashik division, Aurangabad division, Amravati division, and Konkan division.

I hope this helps you understand the concept of regions and divisions of Maharashtra!
