[6] After partition of India in 1947, Princely states were abolished and Anupgarh being a Dyodhiwale Rajvi, was made a separate tehsil under Sri Ganganagar District.

On 17 March 2023,[7] following 11 years of peaceful protest by the local citizens under the leadership of Advocate Suresh Kumar Bishnoi, Jalandhar singh Toor with the support of farmers and other respectful leaders, it was carved out of Sri Ganganagar as a separate district.

On the other hand, Gharsana shows the lowest literacy rate of 65.76% with 65.54% of males and 47.28% of females literate in the tehsil.

On 28 December 2024, the Cabinet of Rajasthan decided not to retain 9 new districts- Anupgarh, Dudu, Gangapur City, Jaipur Rural, Jodhpur Rural, Kekri, Neem Ka Thana, Sanchore, and Sanchore, and Shahpura- along with the 3 newly created divisions--Banswara, Pali, and Sikar.
