Doda is a district in eastern part of Jammu region of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The district consists of 8 blocks: Bhagwa, Assar, Doda, Gundana, Marmat, Bhaderwah, Gandoh (Bhalessa), and Thathri.HistoryThe Doda district consists of areas drawn from the ancient principalities of Kishtwar and Bhadarwah, both of which were part of a district by the name of 'Udhampur' in the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir.In 1948, the erstwhile Udhampur district was partitioned into the present Udhampur district, containing the Udhampur and Ramanagar tehsils, and a 'Doda' district containing the Ramban, Bhadarwah and Kishtwar tehsils.In 2006, Ramban was made into an independent district and the hilly area to the east of the present Doda district was separated as the Kishtwar district. The remaining areas include the Doda tehsil carved out of Kistwar and the original Bhadarwah, now divided into three tehsils.
