A [[district collector]] or [[district magistrate]], who is appointed by either the [[Indian Administrative Service]] or the [[Rajasthan Public Service Commission]], governs each district. Subdivisions (Tehsils) are responsible for governing districts and are overseen by sub-divisional magistrates. Additionally, districts are further divided into blocks. A block consists of panchayats (village councils) and town municipalities. Tehsils are intermediate level panchayat between the [[District Councils of India|Zilla Parishad]] (district councils) at the district level and gram panchayat (village councils) at the lower level. Rajasthan has 5 cities with over one million population. The absolute urban population of the state is 17.4 million, which constitutes 24.87% of the total urban population of the state. There are 10 [[municipal corporation]]s, 34 [[municipal council]]s and 172 municipal boards or [[nagar pachayat]]s in the state. [[Jaipur]], [[Jodhpur]], and [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]] have two municipal corporations each since October 2019, as their populations have exceeded 1&nbsp;million.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Rajasthan: Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota to get additional municipal corporations|url=https://government.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/governance/rajasthan-jaipur-jodhpur-and-kota-to-get-additional-municipal-corporations/71670354|access-date=8 October 2020|website=ETGovernment.com<!--sic-->|archive-date=26 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230326062426/https://government.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/governance/rajasthan-jaipur-jodhpur-and-kota-to-get-additional-municipal-corporations/71670354|url-status=live}}</ref>
