==History of administrative districts in Kanpur Division==
Kanpur division was earlier part of the [[Allahabad division]]. In the year, 2000, the [[Mayawati]] government did a major reshuffle of the Allahabad division, and a separate Kanpur division was created.

The Kanpur district itself was bifurcated into Kanpur Dehat and Kanpur Nagar. Kanpur Dehat was renamed as Ramabai Nagar, after [[Ramabai Bhimrao Ambedkar|Ramabai]] (1896-1935), the wife of [[B. R. Ambedkar|Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar]]. In 2012 the name was changed back to Kanpur Dehat (though the 2011 Indian census uses the name "Kanpur Dehat").
