Historical background

Historically Sironcha was a key location for the East India Company from

Nizam perspective, it was the Southern tehsil of Chanda District,

Central Provinces. however it is not clear why Sironcha, a remote place,

was selected ?.

In 1901, Sironcha tehsil area was {{convert|1,085|sqmi|km2|order=flip}}, and its population

was 51,148. The transfer of the taluks of Nugur, Albaka, and Cherla of the

Sironcha tehsil, covering an area of {{convert|593|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} and containing

142 villages with 20,218 persons, to the Madras Presidency has been

sanctioned, but further details of administration are still being con-

sidered. In 1905 an area of {{convert|2603|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} of the Chanda tahsil,

of which 2,600 were in the Ahiri zamindari estate, was transferred to

Sironcha. The revised totals of area and population of the Sironcha

tahsil are {{convert|3095|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} and 55,465 persons. The population

in 1891 of the area now constituting the tahsil was 51,732. The

density is only {{convert|18|PD/sqmi|PD/km2|order=flip}}, and the tahsil contains

421 inhabited villages. Its headquarters are at Sironcha, a village

of 2,813 inhabitants, {{convert|130|mi|km|order=flip}} from Chanda town by road. The area

of Government forest in the new tahsil is {{convert|480|sqmi|km2|order=flip}}, while {{convert|2254|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} of the Ahiri zamindari are covered by tree forest, scrub

jungle, or grass. The northern portion of the tehsil comprised in the

Ahiri zamindari is one of the most densely wooded and sparsely populated areas in the Province;

to the south of this Sironcha extends in

a long narrow strip to the east of the Godavari, and consists of a belt of

rich alluvial soil along the banks of the river and its affluents, with

forests and hills in the background. The population is wholly Telugu.

The land revenue demand of the tahsil was approximately Rs. 17,000,

before the revision of settlement now in progress.
