The demand of water is increasing day by day. So, groundwater resources play a vital role for additional demand by farmers and Industries and domestic usage leads to rapid development of groundwater. About 63% of available groundwater resources are now being used. However, the development is not uniform all over the State, and in certain districts of Tamil Nadu, intensive groundwater development had led to declining water levels, increasing trend of Over Exploited and Critical Firkas, saline water intrusion, etc. ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP The geographical extent of Theni District is 3, 24,230 hectares or 3,242.30 sq.km. Accounting for 2.05 percent of the geographical area of Tamilnadu State. The district has well laid roads and railway lines connecting all major towns within and outside the State.

  • The Anti-Kallar Movement of 1896 / 1
    The anti-Kallar movement of 1896 / 1 Securing the rural citizen: The anti-Kallar movement of 1896 Anand Pandian Visiting Assistant Professor of History and Anthropology Hamilton College This article concerns the politics of security and caste difference in the late nineteenth century Madras Presidency. Relying on a vernacular principle of interpretation emerging from the colonial archive itselfa Sanskrit Law of Coincidencethe article makes a case for collective identity in colonial India as a conjunctural attribution. I closely examine the trajectory of a widespread peasant movement that sought in 1896 to evict a single caste from hundreds of settlements altogether. The article tracks an intimate traffic between administrative sociology and native stereotype that converged on an assessment of this caste as thieving and predatory by nature. This racialised politics of intrinsic character enabled a popular programme of violent eviction. At the same time, peasant efforts to secure property and territory from threat may be understood as an alternative project of rural government, one that marked a crucial turn in the development of a moral order in the southern Tamil countryside. [T]he Power of Protection ... Constitutes Sovereignty, in as much as reciprocal Obedience of the Subject is the result. George Parish, Madura District Collector, 18051 Protectionof property, life and welfarewas a foundational fiction of colonial rule in India. Natives were subject to European governance inasmuch as they posed a threat to themselves. At the close of the nineteenth century, caste provided Acknowledgements: I am grateful to Donald Moore, Lawrence Cohen, M.S.S. Pandian and the editors of The Indian Economic and Social History Review for their invaluable comments on prior drafts of this article, and to Sanchita Balachandran for assistance with mapmaking.
