The Maharashtra government has approved a revised structure for its revenue department, increasing the total number of staff to 35,876, including 1,300 externally hired personnel. This is the first overhaul in nearly 20 years, with the previous structure established in 2006. Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule stated that the changes aim to improve efficiency and ensure timely services to citizens, addressing the growing workload in the department. The new framework includes 34,576 regular posts and various administrative offices, such as six divisional commissionerates, 36 collector offices, and 192 sub-divisional offices. The revisions are expected to streamline operations and reduce the need for citizens to travel long distances for services, thereby supporting a more transparent and dynamic administration.
