For a sound socio-economic development of the area, the nature of the governmental organization plays a very important role. Kalat was registered as a district on 3rd February, 1954. Khuzdar, Awaran, Mastung, Bolan, Jhall Magsi and Dera Murad Jamali (Nasirabad) districts of today were sub-divisions of Kalat at that time. The Kalat district consists of two sub-divisions, Sorab and Kalat and five tehsils, i.e. Kalat, Surab, Mangochar, Johan and Gazg. There are 18 Patwar circles and 614 mauzas in the district. The details can be observed from the table (annex 1). At the district level, the Deputy Commissioner is responsible for all governmental activities. He is also responsible for maintaining peace and controlling the law and order situation in the district. The Deputy Commissioner controls, supervises and co-ordinates the activities of all the provincial Departments present in the district.
