Movements

There is little movement either out of or into the district. [The 1881 census shows that 41,572 people born in Sholapur were in that year found in different parts of the Bombay Presidency. The details are: Poona 10,552, Bombay City 8769, Bijapur 5260, Ahmadnagar 5243, Satara 3998, Khandesh 1950, Thana 1526, Belgaum 1390, Nasik 1056, Dharwar 587, Ratnagiri 383, Kanara 267, Kolaba 248, Surat 190, Ahmadabad 95, Aden 28, Broach 14, Panch Mahals 13, and Kaira 3.] During the 1876-77 famine an unsuccessful attempt was made to persuade husbandmen to settle in the Husangabad district of the Central Provinces. At the same time large numbers moved to the Balaghat districts of the Nizam's country, and many are believed to have remained there. Almost the only class who leave the district in search of work are educated youths chiefly Brahmans, who take service in the Nizam's state. The number of wandering tribes and of wandering carriers is small.
