VILLAGE SERVANTS

The village servants or Kotwals are appointed on fixed remuneration. Generally, one Kotwal is appointed by Government where the village is small, and more than one are appointed where the village is big. They assist the village officers to collect land revenue, to summon villagers to the chawadi, to carry land revenue to the tahsil office, to detect offences and to apprehend known criminals and to keep law and order in the village. There are at present 1,961 Kotwals in the district.
