Bagalkot Taluka

South-western taluka of Bijapur District, Bom- bay, lying between 16 4' and 16 28' N. and 75 26' and 7 6° 3" E., with an area, including the Bilgi petty subdivision, of 683 square miles. It contains one town, Bagalkot (population, 19,020), the head-quarters ; and 160 villages. The population in 1901 was 123,456, compared with 119,033 in 1891. The density, 181 persons per square mile, is higher than in any other taluka. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was 1-25 lakhs, and for cesses Rs. 10,000. An area of about 100 acres is protected from famine by the Muchkundi tank, constructed with a capital outlay (to the end of 1903-4) of over 1 lakhs. For five years from October, 1903, its water is to be supplied free for non- perennial crops, a rate of Rs. 8 per acre being charged upon land bear- ing perennial crops. Bagalkot has the best climate in the District. The annual rainfall averages nearly 24 inches.
