Udupi district (also Udipi or Odipu in Tulu language) is an [5] administrative subdivision in the Karnataka state of India, with the district headquarters in the city of Udupi. It is situated in the Canara old north Malabar coastal region. There are seven[6] taluks, 233 villages and 21 towns in Udupi district. The three northern tehsils of Udupi, Kundapur and Karkala, were partitioned from Dakshina Kannada district (South Canara) to form Udupi district on 25 August 1997.[citation needed] Moodabidri was officially declared as new tehsil (taluk), separated from Karkala with effect from 11 January 2018.[citation needed]
In February 2018, the district was split to into 3 more taluks, with Byndoor being carved out of Kundapur taluk and the Udupi taluk being split into three parts.[citation needed] Along with the initial Udupi taluk, Kapu, Brahmavar and Hebri were created.[citation needed]
Dinakar Babu and Sheela K Shetty of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are the current president (Sarpanch) and vice-president of the Udupi Zilla Panchayat, respectively, after the election held at the Zilla Panchayat on 27 April 2016.[citation needed][7]
