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.

Jansath Tahsil

South-eastern tahsil of Muzaffarnagar District, United Provinces, lying between 29° io' and 29° 36' N. and 77 degree 36' and 7 8° 6' E., with an area of 451 square miles. The population increased from 193,533 in 1891 to 216,411 in 1901. The tahsil con- tains four towns : namely, Khatauli (population, 8,695), Mjranpur (7,209), Jansath (6,507), the tahsil head-quarters, and Bhukarher! (6,316); and 244 villages. In 1903-4 the demand for land revenue was Rs. 3,60,000, and for cesses Rs. 47,000. The Ganges bounds the tahsil on the east, and the low land on the bank of the river is swampy ; but the greater part lies on the upland and is protected by the Upper Ganges Main Canal and the Anupshahr branch. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 307 square miles, of which 115 were irrigated.
