The district is bordered by [[Gondia district]] to the north, [[Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki district|Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki]], [[Kanker district|Kanker]], [[Narayanpur district|Narayanpur]] and [[Bijapur district, Chhattisgarh|Bijapur]] districts of [[Chhattisgarh]] to the east, [[Jayashankar Bhupalpally district|Jayashankar Bhupalpally]] district of [[Telangana]] to the south, and [[Mancherial district|Mancherial]] and [[Komaram Bheem district|Komaram Bheem]] districts of Telangana and [[Chandrapur district]] to the west.
Gadchiroli District was created on 26&nbsp;August 1982 by the separation of Gadchiroli and Sironcha talukas from [[Chandrapur district]].

==Strategic planning==
The district is currently a part of the [[Red Corridor]], in the eastern, central and southern parts of India where the [[Naxalite–Maoist insurgency]] has the strongest presence.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://intellibriefs.blogspot.com/2009/12/naxal-menace-83-districts-under.html |title=83 districts under the Security Related Expenditure Scheme |publisher=IntelliBriefs |date=2019-04-11 |access-date=2019-04-17 |archive-date=27 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111027115807/http://intellibriefs.blogspot.com/2009/12/naxal-menace-83-districts-under.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Divisions==
The district is organized into six revenue sub-divisions: Gadchiroli, [[Aheri, Gadchiroli|Aheri]], [[Chamorshi]], [[Etapalli]], [[Desaiganj]] (Navi Wadsa), and [[Kurkheda]]. Each sub-division is further split into two talukas. The Gadchiroli sub-division includes Gadchiroli and Dhanora talukas, while the Chamorshi sub-division consists of Chamorshi and Mulchera talukas. Aheri sub-division covers Aheri and Sironcha talukas, and Etapalli sub-division includes Etapalli and Bhamragad talukas. The Wadsa (Desaiganj) sub-division comprises Wadsa and Armori talukas, and the Kurkheda sub-division contains Kurkheda and Korchi talukas. The district has to 557 [[gram panchayat]]s (village councils) and 1,688 Revenue Villages. Additionally, there are 12 [[panchayat samiti (block)|panchayat samitis]] (local government development blocks). The district has three municipalities: Gadchiroli, Wadsa (Desaiganj), and Armori.

Following the delimitation of the constituencies in 2008, the district had three [[Vidhan Sabha]] (legislative assembly) constituencies: [[Gadchiroli (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Gadchiroli]], [[Armori (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Armori]] and [[Aheri (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Aheri]]. All of these are part of the newly carved [[Gadchiroli-Chimur (Lok Sabha constituency)|Gadchiroli-Chimur Lok Sabha constituency]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ceo.maharashtra.gov.in/acs.php |title=District wise List of Assembly and Parliamentary Constituencies |publisher=Chief Electoral Officer, Maharashtra website |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100318055304/http://ceo.maharashtra.gov.in/acs.php |archive-date=2010-03-18 }}</ref>

===Natural geography===
Established on 26 August 1982
The main river basin of the district is the [[Godavari River|Godavari]], which flows west-to-east and forms the southern boundary of the district. The major tributaries of the Godavari are the [[Indravati River|Indravati]] and the [[Pranhita River|Pranhita]], the latter of which is formed by the confluence of the [[Wainganga River|Wainganga]] and the [[Wardha River|Wardha]] near Chaprala village of [[Chamorshi]] taluka.

[[Dhanora]], [[Etapalli]], Aheri and Sironcha talukas in the eastern part of the district are covered by forest. Hills are found in [[Bhamragad]], Tipagad, Palasgad and [[Surjagad]] area. The eastern part of Gadchiroli, bordering Chhattisgarh state, is mainly hilly and is tribal-dominated, similar to neighbouring Bastar region in Chhattisgarh.
