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.

Kandukur Taluk

Coast taluk of Nellore District, Madras, lying between 14°58' and 15° 30' N. and 79° 38' and 8o° 5' E., with an area of 787 square miles. The population in 1901 was 151,417, compared with 148,475 in 1891. It contains one town, Kandukur (population,. 9,569), the head-quarters; and 161 villages. The demand on account of land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to Rs. 3,58,000. The taluk may before long be well supplied with irrigation, as it will be commanded by the great Tungabhadra-Penner and Kistna projects. The Manneru with its affluent, the Upputeru, the Paleru, the Musi, and the Yelikeru are the chief rivers. The Manneru feeds the Karedu tank, but the others are at present undeveloped as sources of irrigation.
