chak and mauza terminology developed due to system of water irrigation in punjab…

kuch block mil kar banta hai taluqa ya tehsil isse andhra me mandal bhi kehte hain…

uske baad kuch taluqa ye tehsilon ko mila kar jilha(district) banta hain…

Anyone knows difference between these terminologies used to denote administrative units in rural Punjab?

@shopping_fan

If i am not wrong, mouza comprises of few chaks. This term is again used mainly in saraiki areas.

chak and mouzas are there in rural Punjab too...

Re: Chak,Mauza, Sakna, Anga

It seems to be an administrative division:

District → Tehsil/Taluka → Mouza/Deh → Chak/Village

Tehsildar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

n Pakistan a Tehsildar is responsible for obtaining revenue from a Tehsil, or Taluka (as called in Sindh), which is then used by the district government. A Tehsil is a sub-division of a District and will have multiple smaller administrative units called ‘Mouza’ or ‘Deh’. Typically a district will contain multiple Tehsils.

He is a gazetted officer (class I), a Tehsildar enjoys a fair amount of authority and respect, especially in the rural and urban areas and is also tasked to forecast the expected seasonal crop yields and classify and map the landuse in the respective Tehsil.

A Tehsildar is also called a ‘Mukhtiarkar’ in Sindh, and is also known as a mukulan.

I think they call Chak ‘Tappa’ in Sindhi. Heard Mukhtiyarkar but not mukulan

Tehsildar is some what like collector of district …

BTW mauza used before name of the village as prefix?

in india i saw name of some villages like mauza xyz

Re: Chak,Mauza, Sakna, Anga

^ i think mauza is a collection of villages, and then tehsils have a collection of mouzas. Never understood these terminologies.

Re: Chak,Mauza, Sakna, Anga

All rural divisions/subdivisions have something or the other to do with water distribution. Mauza is a village....and further on, villages are defined by their size (mauza kalaan = big village.....mauza khurd = small village). The big/small demarcation again is based on water resources.

I feel that the science/logic behind village terminologies far exceeds those used in urban areas.
