Administration


Kalvarayan Hills taluk was created following the 2019 bifurcation of Villupuram district, which created Kallakurichi district.[2] The district was created by splitting off 5 taluks of Villupuram district, and as part of the creation, parts of the western Sankarapuram and Chinnasalem taluks were used to create Kalvarayan Hills taluk. It is within the Kallakurichi revenue division of the district, the state assembly constituency of Sankarapuram, and the Lok Sabha constituency of Kallakurichi. The taluk consists of one panchayat union and two revenue blocks, which are composed of 44 revenue villages and 15 village panchayats.[3]
