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.

Lakhnadon

Northern Tahsil of Seoni District, Central Provinces, lying between 22"" 18' and 22° 57' X. and 79° 19' and So 17' E., with an area of 1,358 square miles. The population decreased from 151,483 in 1891 to 135,345 in 1901. The density in the latter year was 87 persons per square mile. The tahs'il contains 712 villages, but no town. The head-quarters are at Lakhnadon, a village of 2,148 inhabitants, distant 38 miles from Seonl. Excluding 360 square miles of Government forest, 59 per cent, of the available area is occu- pied for cultivation. The cultivated area in 1903-4 was 663 square miles. The demand for land revenue in the same year was Rs. 1,11,000, and for cesses Rs. 12,000. The most fertile portions of the Tahsil are an open plain to the east towards Mandla and a small tract on the banks of the Narbada in the north. The remainder consists of the succession of ridges and vallexs characteristic of the Satpura country.
