Baberu

Tahsil of Banda District, United Provinces, conterminous with the pargana of Augasi, lying along the Jumna, between 25 23' and 2 5 41' N. and 8o° 30' and 8o° 57' E., with an area of 363 square miles. Population fell from 96,284 in 1891 to 77,395 in 1901, the rate of decrease being the highest in the District. There are 121 villages, but no town. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 1,26,000, and for cesses Rs. 20,000. The density of population, 213 persons per square mile, is almost exactly the District average. Near the south and east rice is grown in considerable quantities, this tract being known as Jurar. The Jumna, as usual, is fringed by a network of deep ravines. In 1903-4 only one square mile was irrigated, out of 189 square miles under cultivation. The Ken Canal, when completed, will supply part of this tahsil.
