Reorganisation of Allahabad district
In 2000, when the UP state was reorganised by forming Uttaranchal out of its northern areas, Allahabad division and the district was majorly reorganised too.
The Etawah, Farrukhabad and Kanpur district districts of the Allahabad division were made into a separate Kanpur division.
Parts of the western areas of Allahabad district were carved out to create a tiny new district named Kaushambi.
At the sametime, Pratapgarh district, that falls in Awadh, was included in the Allahabad division.
The new Allahabad division consists of the following districts:
- Allahabad District
- Kaushambi District
- Fatehpur District
- Pratapgarh District
| Raibareli | Pratapgarh | Jaunpur | ||
| Kaushambi | Bhadohi | |||

Famous quotes containing the word division:
“Affection, indulgence, and humor alike are powerless against the instinct of children to rebel. It is essential to their minds and their wills as exercise is to their bodies. If they have no reasons, they will invent them, like nations bound on war. It is hard to imagine families limp enough always to be at peace. Wherever there is character there will be conflict. The best that children and parents can hope for is that the wounds of their conflict may not be too deep or too lasting.”
