The boundaries of these districts are largely defined by natural features such as rivers, hills, forests, and other geographical factors. Many of the newly created districts were earlier sub-divisions of older districts before being upgraded to ensure better governance and administrative efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 15 August 2015, three new districts\u2014Charaideo, South Salmara\u2013Mankachar, and West Karbi Anglong\u2014were formed, increasing the total number of districts from 27 at that time. Later, on 27 June 2016, Majuli was declared a separate district. Carved out from the northern part of Jorhat, Majuli became India\u2019s first river island district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of area, Karbi Anglong is the largest district of Assam, covering approximately 10,434 square kilometres (undivided area), followed by Sonitpur with around 5,324 square kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Regional_Divisions_of_Assam\"><\/span>Regional Divisions of Assam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For administrative convenience, the districts of Assam are grouped under five regional divisions.
