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.

Pathri Taluk

Western taluk of Parbhani District, Hyderabad State, with an area of 784 square miles. Including jagirs, the popula- tion in 1901 was 119,324, compared with 123,353 in 1891, the decline being due to the famine of 1900. The taluk contains two towns, PATHRI (population, 5,828), the head-quarters, and MANWAT (7,395); and 170 villages, of which 19 are jagir. In 1905 this taluk received 8 villages from the Ambarh taluk of Aurangabad District, and gave 6 villages to that taluk in exchange. The land revenue in 1901 was 3-8 lakhs. The Godavari river separates it from Bhir District on the south.

The soils are chiefly alluvial and regar. North is the jagir taluk of Partur; population (1901), 28,213. It comprises 90 villages ; and Partur (4,043), its head-quarters, is a station on the Hyderabad- Godavari Valley Railway. It has an area of about 374 square miles, and contains a ginning factory, a State post office and a British sub-post office, a school, and a dispensary, the last two being maintained by the jagir authorities.
