As per Indian government census 2011, the population was 1,43,019.
The main occupation in Parseoni is agriculture.Agriculture in Parseoni tehsil mainly consists of cotton, rice, and wheat in small quantities.Even though Nagpur is famous for oranges, this area is a small producer of oranges.The agricultural land receives water from Pench dam impoundment and monsoon water.
Pench Dam on Pench River is biggest dam in Nagpur district after Totladoh dam. Both are north of the town known as Pench Project or Pench Prakalp. Water from the dam impoundment is use for irrigation in large parts of the Parseoni, Kalmeshwar, Kamthi, Savner, Ramtek, Mauda, and Kuhi tehsils.
This dam also supplies a large part of the drinking water to Nagpur city. Koradi and Khaparkheda power plants also receive water from the dam impoundment; hence, many farmers face water shortage for irrigation in those years when rainfall is low.
