List of revenue divisions of Kerala
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The State of Kerala consists of 14 districts, which are further divided into 27 revenue divisions.
A revenue division is positioned below the district and encompasses several taluks within its administrative purview. Each revenue division is headed by a Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO), who may be a Sub-Collector from the IAS cadre or a Deputy Collector from the state service.[1] The RDO also functions as the Sub-divisional magistrate and assisted by Senior Superintendent among others.[2]
Revenue divisions are subdivisions of districts under the Revenue Department.[3]

The below table details the 27 revenue divisions with respect to their districts.[1]
