TAMLUK (WEST BENGAL), The largest district in the country - Midnapore - in West Bengal was bifurcated to facilitate smooth administration.
Earlier, the largest district was ratnagiri in maharastra. It was bounded by raigad and all the way over the entire konkan region till sawantwadi on the maharashtra-goa border. Unfortunately, it lost the status as the largest district in India after is was bifuricated into the two separate districts of ratnagiri and sindhudurg to facilitate for better governance and administration

While respecting the other answers it is my understanding that BASTAR in Madhya Pradesh (has it now gone to Jharkhand state?) IS the largest district in India. It has the unique distinction of having very large -the highest tribal population also. The size of Bastar district is more than whole of Kerala state as per what I read in the Geography books and Governement websites. Please check it out.
