The demand for land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to Rs, 3,02,000. The taluk is essentially a mountainous area, a large part of it being occupied by the JAVADI HILLS. The forests have great potential value, and yield a considerable amount of timber and other produce.

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.
