Kekri

Kekri was designated as the headquarters of the short-lived Kekri district during the 2023 administrative reorganisation of Rajasthan. The district was created by the Government of Rajasthan through a Revenue Department notification as part of the formation of 19 new districts in the state, carved out from parts of Ajmer district and Tonk district.

However, following a subsequent administrative review and reorganisation process by the state government, the earlier district structure was altered and Kekri was reintegrated into Ajmer district.

In recent years, Kekri has emerged as a centre for higher and professional education, particularly in medical and allied health sciences. The presence of multiple educational institutions has contributed to its development as an emerging educational hub in the region.
