Musiri constituency, a fertile region on the banks of Cauvery, looks for a major thrust to development

Musiri is an agriculturally fertile belt located on the banks of the Cauvery. Settlement in the region dates back to the Neolithic and Megalithic eras. It was ruled by various dynasties including the Pallava, Chola, Pandya, and Vijayanagara emperors. The fertile side of Musiri yields three harvests a year, while agriculture on the northern side depends on rain.
