Ashokan inscriptions suggest that the 'Pradeshika', 'Rajuka', and 'Yukta' were important officers at the district-level administration. The 'Pradeshika' was a district head responsible for revenue, law and order, and inspection. The 'Rajuka' was involved in revenue collection and judicial functions at the district level, while the 'Yukta' was a subordinate official handling revenue and accounting tasks. These roles were integral to the district-level administration in the Mauryan Empire.
