DAMOH

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 790 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DAMOH , a town and
district
  of British India, in the Jubbulpore division of the Central Provinces. The town has a railway station, 48 m. E. of Saugor. Pop. (1901) 13,355 It has a considerable cattle-market, and a number of small
industries
 , such as weaving, dyeing and pottery-making.
The
DISTRICT
  OF DAMOH has an area of 2816 sq. m. Except on the
south
  and
east
 , where the offshoots from the surrounding hills and patches of jungle break up the country, the district consists of open plains of varying degrees of fertility, interspersed with low ranges and isolated heights. The richest tracts lie in the centre. The gentle declivity of the surface and the porous character of the prevailing
sandstone
  formation render the drainage excellent. All the streams flow from
south
  to north. The Sunar and the Bairma, the two
principal
  rivers, traverse the entire length of the district. Little use has been made of any of the rivers for irrigation, though in many places they offer
great
  facilities for the purpose. Damoh was first formed into a
separate
  district in 1861. In 1901 the
population
  was 285,326, showing a decrease of 12 % in one decade due to
famine
 . Damoh suffered severely from the
famine
  of 1896-1897. Fortunately the famine of 1900 was little felt. A branch of the Indian Midland railway was opened throughout from Saugor to Katni in January 1899.
