The Balrampur, Gonda, Bahraich and Shravasti districts of Uttar Pradesh fall under which of the following divisions ?
Devipatan
Uttar Pradesh groups its seventy-five districts into eighteen administrative divisions, each under a Commissioner, and Balrampur, Gonda, Bahraich and Shravasti together form the Devipatan division.
The division takes its name from the Devipatan Shakti Peeth at Tulsipur in Balrampur district, and its headquarters is at Gonda. It lies in the Terai belt along the Nepal border, which is why its four districts are grouped together administratively.
The other divisions cover different parts of the state. Chitrakoot and Jhansi divisions lie in the Bundelkhand region in the south, and Gorakhpur division to the east contains Gorakhpur, Deoria, Kushinagar and Maharajganj, not these four districts.
Hence, the answer is Devipatan.
