Abstract
The 21st issue of Statistics of Travancore, released in 1941, offers a detailed socio-economic overview of the princely state for the 1939–1940 administrative year. Issued during Maharaja Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma’s rule and Sir C.P. Ramaswami Aiyar’s Diwanship, it reflects an era of elevated literacy and budding industrialization amid the early World War II economy. The volume delivers in-depth data on demographics, trade, and public health, providing an essential historical glimpse of the region’s progress right before its merger into modern Kerala.
