Paper I · 8 Geography & Demography of Telangana · 8.5 Population and districts

8.5.2 Regions, districts and towns: district profiles and urban growth

Telangana's 33 districts are very unequal: Hyderabad is tiny, fully urban and the most crowded, while forest districts such as Mulugu and Bhadradri Kothagudem are large, rural and tribal; so exam questions on "highest" and "lowest" districts must say whether they use the ten old districts or the 33 present districts.
