1.—Statement showing the income of the Municipal Committees in the Central Provinces and Berar for the years ]910-11 1920-21 and 1926-27 74-85 II—Statement showing the expenditure of the Municipal Committees in the Central Provinces and Berar for the years 1910-11 1020-21 and 1926-27 86-103 I11.—Statement showing the number of Notified Areas under the Central Provinces Municipalities Act existin [...] The Satpuras themselves and the greater part of the Nagpur country remained the stronghold of the Gonds and other aboriginal tribes whilst Chhattisgarh on the east of the province had a separate history in which the original inhabitants owing to the wildness of the country largely held their own but were overrun and fell under the dominance of Hindustani invaders who remained as overlords. [...] In view of the various problems arising from the lack of education in the electorate resulting in the evolution of an oligarchy of the upper castes and the political suppression of the depressed classes and aboriginal tribes the following figures of numbers and literacy of some of the more important castes of the province are relevant. [...] Geographically the excluded areas fall into three parts--;1) the rvielghat and two of the scheduled areas lie on the Satpura plateau : (2) the Sironcha tahsil and two other of the scheduled areas are situated in the extreme south of the province ; and (3) the rest are scattered through the broken country that borders on the open Chhattisgarh plain. [...] In 1918 the Oraons an aboriginal tribe living on the Bihar and Orissa border revolted against the Sirguja Chief and the revolters included residents of the Palamau district in the Ranchi Division of the province of Bihar and Orissa and of the Jashpur State.
