Encyclopedia : U : UN : UNI : Union Territory


A Union Territory is an administrative division of India. Unlike states, which have their own local governments, union territories are ruled directly by the national government. As of 2005, there are seven union territories.

Delhi was made the National Capital Territory in 1991 and is on the verge of being granted statehood.
