| Abstract: |
Chamarjanagar District was part of Mysore district and
became an independent district in 1998. It is the
southern-most part of Karnataka and has five taluks and
five educational blocks. A characteristic feature of the
district is its large population of scheduled caste and
tribe communities. The district has 461 villages with 120
gram panchayats and 4 taluk panchayats. Much of the
district lies in the leeward side of the Nilgiris and
consists of predominantly semi-arid rain dependent flat
lands interspersed with forested hills. Since 2000, the
district has been subject to severe drought conditions
and many of the labouring poor migrate to neighboring
Mysore or to the plantation belts of Coorg and Kerala in
search of seasonal labour. Industrial activities are
restricted only to Kollegal belt with a narrow focus on
sericulture. With the decline of the sericulture industry
several settlements such as Mullur, Mudigunda,
Mamballi and Hannur have been subject to a process of
deindustrialization. |
