What is your opinion?

The number of Zilla Parishads is less than the total number of districts in Maharashtra.

Short Answer

Every district has a Zilla Parishad. At present, the state of Maharashtra has 36 districts but only 34 Zilla Parishads.
The reason is that Mumbai city district and Mumbai suburban district do not have a rural population.
Therefore, they do not have Zilla Parishads.
