While handling matters related to work, law and order and revenue in the districts, the names of these two officers come up again and again, but most of the people are not able to clearly understand the difference between them. In such a situation, it is important to know what is the role of SDM and ADM and whose post is considered higher.
First of all let’s talk about Additional District Magistrate of ADM and he is called Additional District Magistrate. According to his responsibilities, ADM is considered the second highest officer in the district after DM. ADM keeps an eye on the administration, law and order and development plans of the entire district.
