Discussion
Which of the following Departments at the district level is headed by the District Collector in Maharashtra ?
Answer: D
The Collector heads the Revenue and General Administration Department at the district level.
In Maharashtra, as elsewhere, the District Collector is the head of the revenue administration of the district (land revenue, land records, revenue courts) and also the chief of general administration, coordinating government departments, conducting elections and managing relief and emergencies. He also serves as District Magistrate for law and order.
The police department in the district is headed by the Superintendent of Police (or a Commissioner in police commissionerates), not the Collector, and the judicial department is under the District and Sessions Judge. Every other option therefore pairs the Collector with a department he does not head.
