KOTHA.
Kotha or Weni-Kotha is a village of 1,786 inhabitants in 1961
in Yavatmal tahsil situated 22.54 km (about 14 miles) north-east of Yavatmal. The previous edition of Yavatmal District Gazetteer notes that in 1870 Kotha weekly market was either the largest in the district or was second to that at Babhulgaon about eight miles distant. The market has dwindled in importance since then and is now a very small one attended only by the local people. In the great famine of 1899-1900 a kitchen and poorhouse was established at Kotha. Kotha is a grampanchayat village and has a middle school, a dispensary and a post office. People depend upon wells for the supply of drinking water.
