District Gazetteers of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. Supplementary Notes and Statistics Pilibhit District

At the time of enumeration in 1920 the number of cobuffaloes was as high as 23 607 due to the influx into the rich pasturage of the Puranpur forests of cattle from the neighbouing districts where there was scarcity of fodder. [...] But for the takavi the area under cane would have been insignificant and the district would not have recvered so rapidly from the effect of the drought. [...] To ease the situation cheep grain shops were opened in the Municipalities of Pilibhit and Bisalpur and the town area of Puranpur. [...] All the hanks that existed at the time of last revision of the district gazetteer have now ceased to exist owing mainly to the lack of intexest shown by the members of the credit societies.
