Chandgad at Glance,2003).
with doing agriculture. Chandgad taluka had 952.20 sq.km of rural land.
Almost all land in rural areas is used for agriculture purpose. Taluka had
medium and slightly more sloped land. The land on river basin is found
cultivated and this land used for more and more time cultivation. The land in
the taluka is graded in to two to five grades. Kini Karyat was known for its
paddy production, as one of the biggest area of paddy production in the
taluka (N.S.Patil, Chandgad at Glance,2003). Average paddy production in
per hector is 8 10 tons. Recently the situation is changed, people turned to
take cash crops like Sugar cane.
Main crops of the taluka are Sugar cane, Paddy, Nachni, Sweetpotato and
Potato. Other crops like chilly, Vegitables and Maize are also cultivating in
some parts like west part of the taluka. In the east part mostly in hilly area of
the taluka the `zooming cultivation` is also used by there people (Vaghotri,
Issapur, Namkhol, Mirvel etc.) (P.41 Chandgad, N.S.Patil, Chandgad
collage). Zooming Cultivation means the cultivation where the farmer not
used the same land for cultivation more time, but they like to use another
land for cultivation according to their convenient.

The table number 4.4 shows data on availability of land in Chandgad taluka.
It is found that the forest land is decreased by 11%. The land which was
30,468 hectors in 1990-91 is decreased to 27100 hectors in the year
155
This is quite desirable that the land under irrigation and land good for
cultivation is increased by 21% and 20% respectively during the decade
1990-91 to 2000-01. However, there is bad signal for the land of forest,
which is decreased by 11% accompanied by increase in land which is not
good for cultivation. It is increased by 85.38% in 2001, it is an indication of
improper use of forest and cultivable land, which needs to take in to
consideration for the development.

4.9.2 Horticulture :
Chandgad taluka produces cashew, mango, jackfruits and many forest based
fruits. Production of cashew is considerably good, which is taken on large
scale as it fetches good proce and considerable income to the cultivators. .
Cashew nut had good demand in the market world wide. Chandgad taluka is
famous for its cashew nuts with its special test. That creates demand for
cashew nut. As a result area under cultivation of cashew trees are increasing
in this region. There are 20 small and medium processing industries are
working. The total 2/3 land of Chandgad taluka is covered by cashew trees
and nearly 5000 tons raw cashew is produced annually and derives income
of Rs. 20 crore. in the taluka (N.S.Patil, Chandgad at Glance,2003). The
Government of Maharashtra is impressed this number and provide grants to
develop more trees in the taluka in 1991. The Scheme introduced as
horticulture programme at 50% grant to 5350 farmers to develop trees in
157
3670 hectors land by government. In the same way another scheme at 100%
grant basis was introduced under the employment guarantee scheme.
Another major fruit in the taluka is Mango, though it is not taken on
commercial purposes but it has very good market in the taluka. People used
to take mango in to the market after fulfilling their demands. Some
information about fruits land of the taluka is given in the table 4.7 as
follows.

The table number 4.7 shows that the chandgad taluka had highest land under
cultivation of Mango and Cashew in Kolhapur district. It constitutes 29.62%
and 38.46% of total land respectively. There is good potential for cultivating
more and more trees. Farmers recently aware their scope and started to
cultivate these trees in some part of the taluka. Though the land under
mango cultivation is higher in the district, there is no any processing unit yet
established. Which need to consideration for development.

good vegetables can be successfully taken in this land.
4.11.2 Minerals:
Chandgad taluka is well endowed with Bauxite as the chief mineral of
economic value. It occurs in large quanitities as laterite cappings in the hills
of the western part of the taluka. Irregular nodules of Kankar occur in the
soils, especially in the western part of the taluka. Kolhapur district has 20
major places with potential bauxite. Out of which 6 are in Chandgad taluka.
They are Nagartaswadi, Kasarsada, Mogalgad,Mahipalgad, Kalanandigad
and Gandharv gad (Record of Mineral Department, Kolhapur,2006). It is

Above table shows the Chandgad taluka has highest number of fishing land,
with highest production of fish and highest income also in the district. It
shares 20.75%,13.34% and 12.31% respectively in Kolhapur district.
National Fishing project is working at Tilarinagar from 2006. The cost of
project is Rs. 1.07 crores covering 24.55 hectors of land. The land is
procured in partnership of Government and private individuals. Government
had contributed 9.22 hectors of land and remaining 15.34 hectors land is
procured from private individuals. This project has been sanctioned in 1976,
however, it took 23 extended year to complete the project. This shows an
experience of government working speed which is quite undesirable. Out of
total cost Rs. 1.07 crore, Rs. 0.95 crores have spent on the project until now
from which government of Maharashtra contributed more of it (i.e
94,88,000).

medicinal plants and its uses for the society, it will helpful to the nation also.
Chandgad forest has many advantages. Different types of birds and animals
are found in large numbers. In the year 2007-08 the environmental activists
were requested to the government to establish reserve forest for elephants
near tilari forest. It will benefited to the farmers also. Government should
consider this request for further action.
4.13.2 Forts :
Chandgad taluka has a treasurer of natural beauty. It prevailing four
historical forts namely Pargad, Kalanandigad, Mahipalgad and Gandharvgad
and largest forest increases the beauty and interest of the pilgrims from
diverse area of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa. This underlines the scope
for tourism development. Very few efforts have been initiated up till now in
this direction. Though recent development of Pargarh (Pargad) is the
outcome of the same, other three forts have not been attracted attention of
the government until now. Residence of these places says the great history
of these forts but it is a another area of research which need to take for
further study. According to them, Mahipalgad was built by the Mahipat
King, and Pargad was built for watching the Portugies movement from Goa.
It was also said that the pargad is important gad in southern region at
kingdom days of Maratha. The sign of forts such as construction, building
structure and planning made for necessity on the forts indicates that the forts
were built by Hindu kings. However a deep study in the area of archeology
is necessary. There is very good scope for tourism development in the
taluka, government and politician should contribute for its development as
early as possible.

Chandgad taluka is regarded as less developed infrastructure as compared to
other talukas in the district. According to the Electricity department,
Chandgad taluka is 100% electrified. All villages in the taluka are well
connected with electricity. PWD record says all villages are connected with
roads. Two state roads Ramghat to Parite (130) and Belgaum to Vengurla
(131) are situated in the taluka. The situation in the taluka is different from
recorded one. It is observed that there are only 78 bus stops in the taluka
and 25.69% roads are safe and suitable for transportation (Census 2001).
There are 45 post offices and only 22 postmens are looking the work of
these post offices. The table number 4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 shows the
information about infrastructure in the taluka in respect of electricity and

The table number 4.19 shows the working position in respect of Main and
Marginal workers in different working activities i.e. Cultivators,
Agricultural Labourers, House Holds and Others in Chandgad taluka. The
data reveals that the population is increasing at fast rate but at the same time
the employment opportunities in the taluka are decreasing. It found that the
major population of the taluka is engaged in agriculture allied activities.
Major activities (Main work) including agriculture carried out by the male
on the contrary female are engaged in marginal work. The table represent
that the number of total workers are increased in the year 2001 as compare
to that in the year 1991, but the percentage of working population to total
population is decreased to 54.1% from 59.19%. This clearly indicates that
the increasing population is not getting work in the year 2001 as 1991. This
shows the need of development that leads to increase the employment.
