Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Bedadanuru Coal-field

Bedadanuru is a hamlet in the Polavaram minor taluk of Godavari District, Madras, situated in 17° 15' N. and 81° 14' E., about 10 miles from Jangareddigudem on the Ellore- Prakkilanka road. It is the centre of a small coal-field, where the Barakar stage of sandstone outcrops over an area of about 11/2 square miles. This is the only coal-field lying entirely within the Madras Presidency ; but though prospecting has been carried on for some years, no paying seam has as yet been discovered.
