Between 1771 and 1790 a survey and assessment in cash of a great part of the Kalyán district was made by Sadáshiv Keshav, Sar Subhedár of the Konkan, and an assessment in grain of part of the Kolába district by a subhedár of Rájpuri in 1784-85.³ But the general survey and assessment of the Konkan proposed by Nána Phadnavis never went further. - [Previous: c7.s9.139](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9.139) - [Next: c7.s9.141](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9.141) - [Up: c7.s9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9.140](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s9.140) · Pramāṇa
