LATUR
Introduction
Situated along the Mahrashtra-Karnataka border, Latur district has achieved
remarkable agricultural development despite adverse climate. It has
introduced revolutionary study techniques for the intensely competitive
10lh and 12lh standard examinations. This set of techniques is now famously
known as the Latur Pattern. The district created academic history with
many of its students topping the State merit list. A major marketplace
in this region, Latur has achieved accolades due to the Manjara Co-operative
Sugar Factory, which has won many awards at the State and National level
for excellent performance. Udgir, Ausa, Nilanga and Hatti Bet are some
of the places of tourist attraction.

objects of importance have been found. They include images of horse-rider,
Dandaharini, Lajja Gauri etc. Some Objects made of bones, conch-shells
