Hi,
Farrukhabad is district located in Uttar Pradesh .There are three tahsil in farrukhabad district whose name are,
1) Farrukhabad
2) Kaimganj
3) Amritpur
The Farrukhabad district is further divided in to Tehsils / Blocks / Community Development Blocks (C.D.Blocks) for administrative purposes. In India, the Block or C.D.Block is often the next level of administrative division after the tehsil. It is important to note that, In some states of India C.D.Blocks are equal to tehsils.
