Deoghar subdivision is an administrative subdivision of the Deoghar district in the Santhal Pargana division in the state of Jharkhand, India.

As a result of the Santhal rebellion, Act XXXVII of 1855 was passed by the British Raj, and a separate district called Santhal Pargana was carved out of parts of Birbhum and Bhagalpur districts. Santhal Pargana had four sub-districts – Dumka, Godda, Deoghar and Rajmahal.[1] Subsequently, Santal Pargana district comprised Dumka, Deoghar, Sahibganj, Godda, Pakur and Jamtara sub-divisions. In 1983 Deoghar, Sahibganj and Godda subdivisions were given district status.[2]

Administrative set up

Deoghar district has two subdivisions: Deoghar and Madhupur. Deoghar, Mohanpur, Sarwan, Devipur and Sonaraithari community development blocks and Deoghar city are in Deoghar subdivision.[3][4]

Note: The website of the district administration mentions two subdivisions with their names, but does not mention the names of the CD blocks in each subdivision. The District Census Handbook,Deoghar, mentions only 8 CD blocks (4 in each subdivision), and leaves out 2 CD blocks. According to the map of the district, it seems logical that, among the two left out blocks, Sonaraithari CD block is in Deoghar subdivision and Margomunda CD block is in Madhupur subdivision.
