The Gazetteers Department

ALL THE FERRIES IN THE DISTRICT are in charge of the District Local Board, Kolhapur. Of the 67 [Table below shows 68 ferries. This is because the perennial ferry at Narsinhawadi on the confluence of Krishna and Panchaganga is shown twice.] ferries in the district only-nine are perennial and the rest are seasonal. The latter operate only in the rainy-season; generally, the rivers are easily fordable during the rest of the year.

Of the perennial ferries, the one at Ichalkaranji on the river Panchaganga is by far the most important, carrying every day about 200 persons and goods worth about Rs. 5,000 and yields to the Local Board an annual income of about Rs. 7,000. The second important perennial ferry is at Narsinhawadi on, the confluence of the rivers Krishna and Panchaganga. It carries on an average 500 persons a day and yields an annual income of about Rs. 6,000.

Among the seasonal ferries the one at Kasarwada is the most important. It carries on an average, about 100 persons and goods worth about Rs. 1,000 per day and yields about Rs. 15,000 a year to the Local Board. Another important seasonal ferry is at Arjunwad on the river Krishna. It carries every day about 200 persons and goods worth about Rs. 500, and yields about Rs. 1,100 every year.

The following table gives the location and other details, of all the ferries in the district: -
