BALLIA

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 270 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALLIA , a town and
district
  of British India, in the Benares division of the United Provinces. The town is situated on the left bank of the Ganges, below the confluence of the lesser Sarju. It is really an
aggregation
  of rural villages. Pop. (1901) T5,278.
The
district
  of Ballia, constituted in 1879, occupies an
angle
  at the junction of the Gogra with the Ganges, being bordered by two districts of Behar. It contains an area of 1245 sq. m. Owing to the
great
  pressure on the soil from the density of the population, to the reluctance to part with land characteristic of small proprietors, to the generally
great
  productiveness of land and to the very light
assessment
  of government revenue, land in Ballia, for agricultural purposes merely, has a market value higher than in almost any other district. It commonly brings in Rs. 200 per bigha, or 20 per acre, and sometimes
double
  that figure. In 1901 the population was 987,768, showing a decrease of 5% in the decade. The principal crops are
rice
 , barley, other food-grains,
pulse
 ,
sugar
 -cane and opium. There are practically no manufactures, except that of
sugar
 .
Trade
  is carried on largely by way of the two bordering rivers.
