The Act extends to the whole of India and reaffirms the sov- ereign rights of the country over its biological resources. Subsequently, the Government of India published Biological Diversity Rules, 2004 (15th April, 2004). The Rules under section 22 states that ‘every local body shall constitute a Biodiversity Management Com- mittee (BMC’s) within its area of jurisdiction’. The main function of the BMC is to pre- pare People’s Biodiversity Register (PBR) in consultation with the local people. The Reg- ister shall contain comprehensive information on availability and knowledge of local bio- logical resources, and their medicinal or any other use. It is a confidential document, due to the inclusion of traditional knowledge associated with the usage of biodiversity. Vasai-Virar is the fifth largest city in Maharashtra according to 2011 census. It is located in Palghar district, ca. 50km north of Mumbai. The city is located on the north bank of Vasai Creek, part of the estuary of the Ulhas River.

Published with open access at www.questjournals.org I. INTRODUCTION: Vidarbha (19° 21”N and long 76° 80”E) is an eastern part of Maharashtra state and is outside the Deccan trap area and falls geologically in the Gondwana formation. It is border the state of Madhya Pradesh to the north, Chhattisgarh in the east, Telangana in the south and Marathwada and Khandesh regions of Maharashtra in the west. Situated in central India, Vidarbha has its own rich, cultural and historical background distinct from rest of Maharashtra, Besides in archaeological remains. Nagpur having Archaeological evidence at every part, the Prehistory Branch of the Archaeological Survey of India, Nagpur has reported Middle Palaeolithic and Upper Palaeolithic sites from the district (IAR 2002-03: 145-148). A notable discovery was of a Neolithic celt made on schist (Adam Excavation 1987-1996) a very less countable prehistoric site in situated Vidarbha region. After that early Mauryan and Mauryan activities in this area and majority of sites are belongs to Satavahanas period. We found archaeological evidences ranging from prehistoric period to modern era at every part of Vidarbha and particularly in Nagpur, Chandrapur, Bhandara and Gondia districts which are known to archaeologist for burial of Megalithic people.

  • Geological and Geomorphological Studies at Khadki Nala Basin, Mangalwedha Taluka, Solapur District, Maharashtra, India
    International Journal of Engineering Technology Science and Research IJETSR www.ijetsr.com ISSN 2394 – 3386 Volume 4, Issue 9 September 2017 Geological and Geomorphological studies at Khadki Nala Basin, Mangalwedha Taluka, Solapur District, Maharashtra, India A. S Deshpande1 and A.B Narayanpethkar2 1 Civil Dept. KarmayogiEngineering Collage, Shelve,Pandharpur 2 School of Earth Science, Dept. of Applied Geology, Solapur University, Solapur ABSTRACT The linking of the geomorphological parameters and geology with the hydrological characteristics of the basin provides a simple way to understand the hydrologic behavior of the different basins particularly of the ungauged basin in hard rocks like Deccan basalt.Thetechniques of geomorphometric analysis are useful in the quantitative description of the geometry of the drainage basins and its network which helps in characterizing the drainage network. The geomorphological landforms are important from the hydrological point of view and include the linear, aerial and relief aspects of the drainage basin. It has also been found that hydrogeologicalgeomorphological investigations besides helping in targeting potential zones for groundwater exploration provides inputs towards estimation of the total groundwater resources in an area, the selection of appropriate sites for artificial recharge and the depth of the weathering. In present investigation KhadkiNala basin which falls geographically under Solapur district of Maharashtra, has been taken up for groundwater development. The area falls under the rain shadow zone and frequent drought is a common feature in the area due to adverse climatic conditions. Geologically the area falls under the hard rock terrain consisting of basaltic lava flows. Geology of KhadkiNala basin contain massive basalt, vesicular, weathered or zeolitic basalt and quaternary soil.

Srinivasu PGTD of Botany, Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Amravati road, Nagpur- 440033 Abstract Nagpur is one of the districts in the Vidarbha and winter capital of Maharashtra with great biodiversity of plants. Ugemuge (1986) studied ‘The Flora of Nagpur district’ and others added some species to existing data. The changes after very recent urbanization and industrialization have affected the flora of Nagpur district a lot. In view of it and after introduction of new digital technology, it is very necessary to update and revise the existing floristic structure of Nagpur district. Digital database preparation is technologically a step ahead in the revision of the flora of Nagpur district with some advancement. The present paper enumerates additional four dicot taxa collected from Nagpur district which fall under four genera and four different families which are new record for the district viz. Polycarpon prostratum (Forsk.) Asch. (Caryophyllaceae), Acacia ferruginea DC. (Mimosaceae), Mollugo nudicaulis Lam. (Molluginaceae), Holoptelea integrifolia (Roxb.) Planch. (Ulmaceae). These plants have many medicinal and economic values. Key words: New plant records, Flora, Digital database, Nagpur district.
