Nepal has 75 administrative districts. These districts have been regrouped into five development regions with a view of promoting equal distribution of resources and development activities. Each district has been further divided into several smaller sectors called Village Development Committees and Municipalities, which are regarded as grassroots administrative units. A Chief District Officer heads the administrative office of each district. They are mainly responsible for maintaining law and order and also coordinating developmental works conducted by different Ministries and local agencies at district level. Each district has a distinct court of law to adjudicate on civil and criminal disputes.
