The above heading is described as follow:
Mauryan District Administration:
Provinces were divided into districts for purposes of administration. Ashokan inscriptions refer to three classes of high officials, namely the Rajukas, Yuktas, and the Mahamatras. The Rajukas was probably in charge of the district and corresponded to the District Magistrates of the present day. They managed the state property and kept law and order in the districts. The Yuktas was probably the District Treasury Officer who collected revenues and kept accounts. The Mahamatras were heads of special departments. Ashoka created a new class of Mahamatras which included the Dhamma Mahamatras who promoted Dhamma (Dharma) and looked after the general interests of women were protected by a separate Department, headed by Stri Adhyaksha Mahamatra.
