The districts of Sri Lanka are further divided into administrative sub-units known as divisional secretariats. They were originally based on the feudal counties, the korales and ratas. Divisional secretariats are the third level administrative divisions of the country and there are currently 331 divisional secretariats in Sri Lanka.[1]
Provinces (black) are divided into districts (grey), which are further divided into divisional secretariats (white). These are then further divided into Grama Niladharis (not marked on the map).
They were formerly known as 'D.R.O. Divisions' after the 'Divisional Revenue Officer'. Later the D.R.O.s became 'Assistant Government Agents' and the Divisions were known as 'A.G.A. Divisions'. Currently, the Divisions are administered by a 'Divisional Secretary', and are known as 'D.S. Divisions'.
