General Characteristics of the District: Nilgiri district was a part of Coimbatore district till 1868. In August 1868 the Nilgiris was separated from the Coimbatore District and brought under the control of a Commissioner. In February 1882, the Nilgiris was made a district and a Collector was appointed in the place of the Commissioner. 1.1 Location and Geographical Area: The Nilgiris is situated at an elevation of 900 to 2636 meters above MSL. Its latitudinal and longitudinal dimensions being 130 KM by 185 KM. The Nilgiris is bounded on North by Karnataka State on the West by Coimbatore District, Erode District, South by Coimbatore District and Kerala State and as the East by Kerala State. 1.2 Topography: In Nilgiris District the topography is rolling and steep. About 60% of the cultivable land falls under the slopes ranging from 16 to 35%. The entire district is hilly and is divided into natural zones viz., the Nilgiris plateau and the Wynad tableland. Soils have been defined as a thin layer of earth's crust which serves as a natural medium for the growth of plants. The soil formation may be classified into four varieties viz., alluvial soil, laterites soil, black soil, and red soil. The district is prone to landslides and soil erosion during heavy rains. The major types of soil in the district are sandy loam, red loamy soil, and black soil seen in the dam and riverbed areas. Due to its altitudes, the climate in this district remains to the Maximum of 21 degree Celsius to 25 degree Celsius and the minimum of 10degree Celsius to 12degree Celsius during the summer. During the winter the temperature available to the maximum 16degree Celsius to 21degree Celsius. and minimum of 2degree Celsius 1.3 Availability of Minerals: In general, the Nilgiris district is not rich in mineral resources. As most part of the district is covered by topsoil, exploration for minerals could not be done easily. Even if the minerals are available below the thick soil cover, production cost will be higher when compared to the other areas of State and will render mining uneconomical. The mineral wealth of the district is rather poor except for low-grade bauxite deposits and gold, magnesite and also minor occurrence of mica and iron ore. 1 IRON ORES Iron ores in Nilgiris are of the variety called Magnesite, Quartzite and the main occurrences are situated in the triangular belt between Devala, Pandalur and Devarshola. Minor occurrences are found in the North West of Muthumalai also. BAUXITE Low-grade bauxite with alumina content varying from 32 to 48% occurs in Parsons Valley and Wenlock downs area near Udhagamandalam. A total area extent of 1,78,900 sq.m with a maximum thickness of 6m of primary bauxite and 1,70,000 sq.m of detrial bauxite have been located in these areas. In Kotagiri Taluk bauxite deposits are seen near Kotagiri, Kercambai and Elada areas, a total reserve of 0.18 million tonnes with 40% and 12. 03 content has been estimated in these areas. Some of the bauxite from Kotagiri is being utilized by the A.C.C Cement Factory at Madukkarai. MICA Muscovite Mica is seen in a number of pegmatite in Gudalur Taluk. About 9 old workings and one working mine are present in Cherambadi area of the Taluk. A few workable deposits of Muscovite mica of 15 -20 cm. across in size occur in the pegmatite near Bokkapuram, Chembanattam, Pandalur, and Cherambadi. BLACK GRANITES The dolerate dyke rocks which are otherwise called as Black Granite are concentrated in the upper Bhavani area. MAGNESITE A thin rein of Magnesite is are available at Thengurmarahada in Moyar valley. Probable reserves of 1,00,000 tonnes were estimated up to 20-M depth. 1.4 Forests: The area under forest during the plan era has progressively improved. Forests account for 56.4 % of the total geographical area. The total coverage of forest is 143351 hectares in this district, which accounts for 6.7% of the total state forest area. The main forest produces are sandalwood, bamboo, teak, eucalyptus, grandies blue gum, and wattle. The forest of Nilgiris district can be classified into four groups' viz., the evergreen woods (sholas) on the Nilgiris plateau, the artificial plantations (for firewood) of Australian trees around the hill stations in the district, the deciduous forest of the northern slopes including the Moyar valley and the forest in Gudalur sub-region, which are also deciduous but far heavier and more dense than those of northern slopes of this district. 1.5 Administrative set up. For administrative purpose, the district is divided into four blocks, viz., Udhagamandalam, Coonoor, Kotagiri and Gudalur. For local administration, the district has 2 2 Municipalities, 4 Panchayat Unions, 27 Village Panchayats and 54 Revenue villages covering 1077 hamlets.
