A Disquisition on Forest Resources in Ahmednagar District, Maharashtra www.ijhssr.com International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Review (IJHSSR); Vol. 1, Issue 2; July 2021 E-ISSN 2582-9106 A Disquisition on Forest Resources in Ahmednagar District, Maharashtra, India 1Shejul Meena Eknath, 2Soniya Sonkar & 3Gadekar Deepak Janardhan 1Good Shepherd School, A/P-Kadit, Tal- Shirampur Dist- Ahmednagar, Maharashtra state, India 2Department of Geography, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India 3Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, Padmashri Vikhe Patil College of Arts Science & Commerce, Pravaranagar e-mail id: [email protected] Abstract The forest has a unique significance. It houses many economic and environmental benefits. This vegetation keeps the environment in balance. In short, ecological plants provide shelter to the animals and also benefit the plants to maintain the quality of the environment directly and indirectly. Also, many economic activities are dependent on these forest resources, as a result of which there exists various job opportunities too. Temperature and rainfall are the major factors affecting the distribution and growth of forest. Therefore, the main objective is to study the geography of vegetation resources in Ahmednagar district. This research paper is based on the secondary data- those data collected from Directorate of Economics and Commerce, Ahmednagar district. Keywords: Forest, Resources, Ahmednagar, Natural and Human Resources, GIS Contribution/Originality: This is a study on forest resources in Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra, India Introduction Vegetation not only maintains the quality of the environment but also helps in reducing soil erosion and helps in raising the water level. At the same time, forest brings huge economic benefits and create employment. Therefore, plants have a unique significance. In short, the plants have manifold environmental and economic benefits. The vegetation is a renewable natural resource. According to Zimmermann, resource means that every substance has some 105 www.ijhssr.com International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Review (IJHSSR); Vol. 1, Issue 2; July 2021 E-ISSN 2582-9106 latent qualities which remain hidden and with a determined value. The English language plays an inexplicable role in the post-modern era (John, 2021). The featured resource is primarily the latent quality of an object and its characteristics that give it an innovation. In the name of resource, people use it or find it useful (Roy, 2007). Resources are of two types- first is natural resources and the second, human resources (Eknath, 2020). Resource measuring is not an easy task. Forest is a cluster of trees growing together at one place and is one of the largest renewable natural resources. The most important reason for the increasing population pressure on the agricultural sector is the growing population and the declining proportion of agriculture (Deepak, 2021). Rainfall is an importance factor for vegetation distribution. Forest is a natural resource, the vegetation delineation using a Landsat-7 & 8 (OLI) ETM+ Data for resourceful vegetation mapping. A forest is a complex ecosystem which is mostly composed of tress and is a closed covering. Water is vital key among the other natural resources (Sonawane & Sonkar, 2020). the resources remain in an unequal distribution because of certain factors that influence them e.g. topography, climate, soil, water bodies. The Geographical and ecological factors and rainfall pattern and soil composition mainly affect the distribution of vegetation. The soil as a natural resource is the base of prosperity, considering any stats under which the land, water, forest is included. Resource is mainly classified into natural and human resources. Natural resource is further classified as reproducible and non-reproducible as well as biotic and abiotic but human resource is classified into qualitative and quantitative. Natural resource mainly consists of resources such as water, land, plants, sunlight, etc. Plants are one of significant natural resources. The quality of the environment and human life depends entirely on these natural resources. The supply of oxygen to human beings from these plants depends on the quality of the environment. So the first main objective in this study is to understand how the geographical distribution of vegetation is. Study Area Ahmednagar district has been selected for geographical study of plants. Ahmednagar district is the largest geographical district in the state of Maharashtra. The geographical location 18° 20´ and 19° 59´ north latitudes and 73° 40´ to 75° 43´ east longitudes (Map.1) 106 www.ijhssr.com International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Review (IJHSSR); Vol. 1, Issue 2; July 2021 E-ISSN 2582-9106 Administratively, Ahmednagar district consists of 14 taluks which are mainly divided into North Ahmednagar district and president Ahmednagar district. Out of these 14 taluks, about eight taluks are affected by drought. The geographical feature of this Ahmednagar district is Kalsubai, the highest peak in Maharashtra. A large number of tourism developments have taken place here and many more are yet to take place. Objective The objective of this study is to demarcate the forest area and to analyse the classification of forest on the basis of different types of vegetation. The second objective is to study the geographical distribution of forest resources in Ahmednagar district. Database and Methodology This research article depends on secondary data, data collected from Ahmednagar district statistical website in 2020 year. The obtained data for forest has been converted into percentage values for better understanding and categorized into three zones- high, moderate and low. The cartographic methods such as bar graph etc. have been used. The data is represented with the help of appropriate classification criteria of the forest area. More than 22 107 www.ijhssr.com International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Review (IJHSSR); Vol. 1, Issue 2; July 2021 E-ISSN 2582-9106 percentage of the forest cover is categorized into high forest area according to this criteria. Similarly, less than 22-10 percentage is grouped under moderated forest area and low forest area comprises less than 10 percentage forest cover, taking the total geographical area into consideration. Result and Discussion Although plants are natural resources, their unique importance in the environment depends on the oxygen cycle of the plants as well as the entire human life. The environmental quality and conditions as well as economic activities depend on this vegetation. The topography results in rainfall, and impact of rainfall steers how the vegetation is distributed. The Climate is an important factor that influences the resources. So the topography and rainfall in Ahmednagar district are observed to have affected the distribution of vegetation. Consequentially, the maximum forest cover is found in the Akole Tehsil (27.2 percent) followed by Rahuri (15.4 percent) and Parner (10.1 percent). The maximum vegetation cover in Akole tehsil among other tehsils in Ahmednagar District are Kalsubai, Harishchandra Garh Wildlife Sanctuary (WLS) followed by Parner (10.1percentage), Shrigonda(9.5 percentage), Karjat (8.8 percentage) in the tehsils where moderate and low forest cover are found. Most importantly, Rehekuri WLS and Maldhok WLS are found in this area.

The rainfall received is above average rainfall, the highest rainfall having been recorded in the taluk of Ahmednagar district. In short, all these geographical factors have affected the distribution of vegetation here, so Akole taluk of Ahmednagar district has the highest number of vegetation in Akole tehsil. The No forest area in Shrirampur tehsil where Kopargaon resides, means that the quality of environment in this tehsil is degraded. There is a necessity for planting of afforestation here to help maintain the quality of environment in this tehsil.

In tropical monsoon region where rainfall is seasonal and a definite dry season exists, deciduous and semi evergreen forests are prevalent. They are also known as monsoon forests. There are certain parts covered by grassland too. These forests protect the wood, land and soil the existence of which determine the climatic condition. The zone of high forest cover comprises one tehsil having more than 22 percent forest cover e.g. the Akole tehsil. This area holds the maximum forest cover because of the average rainfall being 1058 mm. Jamkhed, Karjat, Nevasa, Pathardi, Shrigonda and Shevgaon taluks in Ahmednagar district being drought prone, accounts for the vegetation in these areas being much less than the aforementioned percentage which indicates that afforestation is a must in these taluks.

Deshmukh Department of Economics, Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar, Pune, India - [email protected] Commission V, WG V/7 & Commission IV, WG IV/6 KEY WORDS: Environment, Geographical Information System, Population, Socio-Economic, Spatio-Temporal, Tribal ABSTRACT: The tribal population represents a heterogeneous group scattered in different regions of India. The differences are noticed in language, cultural practices, socio-economic status and pattern of livelihood. The tribal population in India rapidly increased from 30.1 million in 1961 to 104.3 million in 2011. For same period tribal residing in rural area have increased by three times from 29.4 million to 93.8 million respectively. The tribal population resides in urban area is very less in number due to these people like to live in the remote areas of the proximity of natural environment. In Maharashtra, more than 47 indigenous tribes were dwelling at Sahyadri and Satpuda mountainous ranges. According to 2011 census, there are about 1, 05, 10,213 tribal populations living in Maharashtra, which constitutes 10.05% population of state. In Maharashtra, there is regional disparity in tribal population such as Nandurbar District has the highest tribal concentration while Dhule, Gadchiroli, Nasik, and Ahmednagar District have moderate tribal concentration. Therefore, present research work is an attempt to understand the Spatio-temporal variation in tribal population of Ahmednagar district using GIS technique during the period of 2001-2011.

  • Sustaining the Traditional Paithani Saree Weaving of Maharashtra, India Reena Bhatia1* and Deepti Desai2
    Available online at www.globalilluminators.org GlobalIlluminators FULL PAPER PROCEEDING Multidisciplinary Studies Full Paper Proceeding ITMAR -2014, Vol. 1, 529-536 ISBN: 978-969-9948-24-4 ITMAR-14 Sustaining The Traditional Paithani Saree Weaving Of Maharashtra, India 1* 2 Reena Bhatia and Deepti Desai 1,2Department of Clothing and Textiles, Faculty of Family and Community Sciences, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India. Abstract Among the hand woven sarees of India, Paithani is famous and has played a significant role in weaving together the socio-cultural fabric of Maharashtra since it is traditionally a part of the trousseau of every Maharashtra bride. The aim of the study was to document the existing weaving traditions of Paithani and explore the possibility of weaving Paithani as a yardage with different product layout. To achieve the formulated objectives a descriptive cum exploratory study was planned. Data collection was done through observation and interview schedule during field visits in Bhandge Lane, Yeola. The weavers were selected through purposive random sampling. Adaptation of Paithani saree layout on handloom was done for selected product range to unearth new opportunities for a local craft and help them expand their market. Data analysis indicated that the younger generation was involved in the traditional weaving of Paithani saree. The weavers were training their children in traditional weaving practices of Paithani; contributing positively to its sustainability. The craft details in terms of raw materials, loom set-up, dyeing, weaving process, types of Paithani, colours and motifs was documented through photographs and supplemented with text. It was reassuring to learn that 80 per cent of weavers would prefer to diversify into other products instead of just weaving saree if done using same technique of Paithani weaving.

However, in recent years, while declining HIV trends are evident at the national level as well as in most of the States, some low prevalence and vulnerable States have shown rising trends, warranting focused prevention efforts in specific areas. The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies.

  • 1 Pleistocene Climatic Changes in Western India
    Abstract submitted for Mini Workshop “Future of the Past” to held at Gateway Hotel, Manglore, November 21 to 26, 2011 Pleistocene Climatic Changes in Western India: A Geoarchaeological Approach S.N. Rajaguru, Sushama G. Deo and Sheila Mishra Deccan College, Pune Recently Dhavalikar in his A. Ghosh memorial lecture titled “Indian Archaeology in the 21st Century” delivered on 25th September 2011, in New Delhi, strongly emphasized the need of understanding past cultural changes in terms of palaeoenvironment. He has suggested that growth and decay of protohistoric and historic cultures in India have been largely influenced by changes in the intensity of monsoonal rainfall during the Holocene, approximately last 10,000 years. In the last 25 years considerable new scientific data have been generated for the Holocene climatic changes in India (Singhvi and Kale 2009). It is observed that the early Holocene (~ 10 ka years to 4 ka years) was significantly wetter than the late Holocene (< 4 ka years). These changes in summer rainfall of India have been mainly due to global climatic factors. In the present communication we have attempted to understand prehistoric cultural changes against the background of climatic changes of the Pleistocene, approximately covering time span from about 2 Ma years BP to about 10 ka BP. Recently Sanyal and Sinha (2010) and Singhvi et al (2011-12) have attempted reconstruction of palaeomonsoon in Indian subcontinent by using data generated through multidisciplinary studies of marine cores, continental- fluvial, fluvio- lacustral, aeolian, glacial and littoral deposits- preserved in different parts of India. However, there is no input of prehistoric cultural changes in these publications.
