About the study area
Parbhani district was known as “Prabhavati” in ancient times. It is located
towards east of Maharashtra and it is one of the eight districts of Marathwada
division. From 1596 to 1724, major part of the present territory of the district was
divided between Pathri and Washim sarkars of Berar Subah of the Mughal empire. In
1724, after the battle of Sakharkheda, it went under the Nizam's rule. Following the
re-organization of the states in 1956, Parbhani along with the other districts of
Marathwada became part of Bombay State. On 1 May 1960 when Maharashtra state
was formed, it became a part of it. The district headquarters is located at Parbhani
town.
