520 _aThe Gazetteers in our country can be classed into three broad categories- the Central Gazetteer (previously known as Imperial Gazetteer), the State Gazetteer (previously Gazetteer) and the District Gazetter. As the Gazetteer is an official record,it bears the stamp pf authenticity which makes it a reference tool of inestimable value for historians, sociologists, administrators and research scholars engaged in the study of ancient history. It goes to the credit of the then British administrators that they have left behind gazetteers of almost all provinces and districts in India.
