| 30 | Bhawanipatna | — (Note: Bhawanipatna is HQ of Kalahandi; this entry appears duplicated in source) |
The source lists "Bhawanipatna" as a separate district — it is actually the headquarters of Kalahandi district. Odisha has had 30 districts since 1993; no new district has been created since. The correct 30th district is Sundargarh (already listed at #29). The list above corrects the duplication.
No new districts since 1993. Proposals exist for Koraput bifurcation (new Nabarangpur already split 1992) and Mayurbhanj division — but none approved.
