1. General Characteristics of the District

Thanjavur District is the Rice Bowl of Tamil Nadu because of its agricultural
activities in the delta region of river Cauvery.. The district stands unique from time
immemorial for its agricultural activities and is rightly acclaimed as the Granary of
the South India. The district headquarters is Thanjavur. The temples, culture and
architecture of Tanjavur are famous throughout the world. It is an historical place
ruled by Chola, Pandya, Nayak, Marathas and was under British rule till
Independence. The pursuits of these rulers are reflected in the great monuments
like Grand Anaicut, Big Temple and Serfoji Palace and Saraswathi Mahal Library,
etc. in the district

The Big Temple and other famous temples in Kumbakonam and Darasuram
in the district are known all over the world. Thanjavur was the cultural capital of the
country in during the Eighteenth century. Thanjavur gained prominence during the
period of Chola Kings, who made it as their capital. Thereafter, it was ruled by
Nayaks and Maratta Kings, who nurtured art and culture. The cultural, the
architectural and the scholarly pursuits of these rulers are reflected in the great
monuments like Grand Anaicut, Big Temple and Serfoji Mahal Library etc. in the
district.

The Distt. is well known for its artistic activities like art making, painting,
icon manufacturing and bell metal products. These are the major exportable items
which also include musical instruments like Veena. The industrial growth in the
district has been confined to agro-based industries. A large number of Rice mills,
Oil mills and Sugar mills are spread over the district.

The rail network of Thanjavur district falls under Thiruchirapalli division

of Southern Railway. The network connects Kumbakonam, Thanjavur leading to
Thiruchirapalli and Madurai in west and towards Thiruvarur in east. It also
connects Pattukottai which lies in the South of the district. The total route length
of railway network in the district is 96.52 Km (Broad Gauge) and total track length
is about 122 Km (Broad Gauge). This district has about 45km length of coastline
in the southeastern part

The economy of Thanjavur district is essentially from agriculture and allied

sector. Above 75% of the workforce have been depending on agriculture.The
district is a deltaic plain fed by rivers Cauvery and Vennar. Some portion is also
fed by Grant Anaicut canal. Ground water has been regenerated considerably to
advance the cropping season which may prone to damage during North East

Thanjavur District is famous for many Handicrafts Items which are unique
in characteristic at international level. The Handicraft skill is hereditary and
confined to a few families in the District like Thanjavur, Swamimalai and
Natchiarkoil. The Crafts include production of Handicraft items like Bronze Icons,
Tanjore Art Plates, Tanjore paintings Bell Metal Lamps and Musical Instruments

1.1. Location and Geographical Area

Thanjavur District is located in the eastern coast of Tamilnadu. Erstwhile
composite district of Thanjavur was bifurcated into Thanjavur and Nagapattinam
Districts with effect from 18.10.1991. Again in April 1997, when Tiruvarur district
was formed by bifurcating Nagapattinam District, part of Thanjavur area, namely
the Valangaiman block had been merged with the newly formed Tiruvarur District.
Thus the present Thanjavur District was formed with a geographical area of 3411
Sq. Kms divided into 14 blocks. The area constitutes just 2.6 % of the area of the
State.
The district boundaries are:
East : Nagapattinam and Tiruvarur Districts.
West : Tiruchy & Pudukottai districts.
North : River Coleroon separating Tiruchy and Perambalur
districts. South: Palk Strait and Pudukottai district.

The district lies between 9.50’ & 11.25’ degrees of northern latitude and
78.45’ and 79.25’ degrees of eastern longitude.

1.2 Topography:
The climate of the district is tropical in nature. Temperature, in the district,
varies between 20.29 and 38.42 Degree C. The normal rainfall in this district is
around 1020 mm, mainly through the north east monsoon (October to early
December)
 7

Alluvial soil in the Cauvery delta and Sandy soil in Coastal area are the
predominant soil types. The soil type, the climate and rainfall best suit the paddy
crop and so the district stands as the rice bowl of Tamilnadu since ancient days.
Cauvery, Vennar and Grand Anaicut canals are the major water sources in this
district.

1.3. Availability of Minerals

Laterite, sandstone and Kankar have been found in Thanjavur district.
Quartz crystals rolled into pebbles were also found. Iron ore, Laterite and
sandstone are found nearby Vallam.
Kankar and limestone occur under red soil. Laterite, ranging in the thickness
from 0.3 to 1.0 metre., is available near Grand Anaicut and Thirumalaisamudram.
The thickness of Kankar in Thirumalaisamudram area ranges from 2.0 to 2.5 metre
and the total reserves have been estimated to be about 0.5 million tonnes. Kankar
is of good quality, coal ranging from 48.42 percent to 52.72 percent and low in
Magnesia.
So far no mining is carried out in this district. The district has potential for
industries based on these mineral resources.

1.4 Forests:

The district possesses 3426 hectares of land under forest constituting

1.01% of its geographical area and a meager 0.18 % of the forest area of the state.
Timber and Cashew (1400 kg) are the forest produce available.

1.5 Administrative set up.

It consists of nine Taluks- Thiruvidaimarudur, Kumbakonam, Papanasam,
Pattukottai, Peravurani, Orathanadu, Thanjavur, Thiruvaiyaru and Budalur.

economy of Thanjavur district.

BHEL is a major PSU nearby Thanjavur. Major industrial activities are BHEL

Handicrafts goods making, Carpentry, etc., form major skill based activities.

The Govt. of India programme, Scheme of Fund for Regeneration of

Traditional Industries (SFURTI) is implemented to improve coir sector in Pattukkottai
coir cluster by DIC and Bell metal lamp in Nachiarkovil by KVIC at about Rs.1 Crore
each. The district does not have any significant mineral deposits or forest cover as
such mineral resource based industries are rare.

The District has around 30 lakhs coconut trees with the yield 83 nuts per
annum per tree. Most of the nuts in Copra form are transported to other districts for
oil extraction and other value products making. Hence, there is potential to
