Sub-project Scope. Rajasthan Urban Sector Development Program (RUSDP) will complement the past and ongoing efforts of the government of Rajasthan (GOR) to improve water supply and waste water services to the residents of the state of Rajasthan. It comprises (i) a program, financed by a policy-based loan, to support policy reforms, including institutional development and governance improvement in the urban sector in the state, and (ii) a project, financed by a project loan, to invest in water distribution network and sewerage systems in the six project cities in the state1 . 2. Sri Ganganagar is headquarter of Sri Ganganagar District, and is situated in the northern most part of Rajasthan State, close to international border with Pakistan. It is located at about 470 km north of State Capital, Jaipur and 425 km northwest of the National Capital, Delhi. Sri Ganganagar is one of the six project towns selected for implementation of the ADB funded Rajasthan Urban Sector Development Program (RUSDP). 3. Water supply at present in Sri Ganganagar is intermittent, unreliable and suffers with huge losses and quality issues. There is no sewerage system in the town. Currently, sewerage project is under implementation by Sri Ganganagar Urban Improvement Trust (UIT) with technical support of the RUIDP. Due to lack of sewerage system, most of the households depend on septic tanks for disposal of sewage. Effluent from septic tanks and sullage is let off into open drains which ultimately discharge into streams and ponds. This subproject is formulated to address gaps in water and sewerage infrastructure in a holistic and integrated manner. The main objective of the RUSDP is to improve water efficiency, security, and provide safe sewage collection, and with the on-going investments in sewage treatment, this will have an important effect on public health and environment. 4. The sub-projects includes: Water Supply: (i) Construction of one WTP (20 MLD); (ii) Construction of Raw Water Reservoir (372 ML capacity) at Nathawali (iii) Provision of Raw Water Storage at abandoned canal at Sadhuwali (309 ML capacity) (iv) Construction of five nos of pump houses (v) Construction of 4 nos. of Clear Water Reservoirs (vi) Clear Water pipe lines-36 KM (vii) Distribution pipe lines- 419 KM (viii) provision of bulk water meters (ix) provision of house service connections with consumer meters. Sewerage: (i) laying new sewage collection networks (410 KM out of which 47.5 KM by trenchless method); (ii) construction of one SPS of 5.22MLD capacity; and (iii) provision of sewer connections to houses. Project scope also includes O&M of the created assets for 10 years. 5. This Resettlement Plan (RP) document is prepared for proposed Water Supply and Sewerage Subprojects in Sri Ganganagar and is in line with the Resettlement Framework (RF) prepared for the implementation of social safeguards under RUSDP. 6. Summary of Resettlement Impact Consistent with the subproject selection criteria, rehabilitation is prioritized over new construction to avoid / minimize involuntary resettlement impacts. Construction of 1 nos of new Water treatment plant (WTP), Provision of Raw Water Storage at abandoned canal at Sadhuwali (309 ML capacity), Construction of Raw Water Reservoir (372 ML capacity) at Nathawali, Construction of five nos of pump houses, 1 The six project cities are Bhilwara, Jhunjhunu, Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Tonk, and Pali. Construction of 4 nos. of Clear Water Reservoirs, and construction of one SPS of 5.22MLD capacity; will be undertaken in existing PHED Campus and government land. No new land acquisition is required. Details are in below table 1. 7. The main resettlement impacts will be due to laying of water supply and sewerage pipe networks. Pipes will be laid within road rights-of-way

  • Country Advice India India – IND37808 – Rajasthan – Christians – Sikhs – Mixed Marriages – Communal
    Country Advice India India – IND37808 – Rajasthan – Christians – Sikhs – Mixed marriages – Communal violence – State protection – Internal relocation – Prostitution 9 December 2010 1. Please provide an update on how the community in Rajasthan views intermarriage (Sikh and Christian) where the parties’ parents agree. No information was found detailing the community sentiment regarding intermarriage between Sikhs and Christians in Rajasthan. Interfaith marriage is legal in India; however, social attitudes toward such marriages are often unfavourable. Community views on interfaith marriage Christians comprise 0.11 per cent of Rajasthan‟s population and Sikhs make up 1.4 per cent.1 As such, it is unlikely that Christian-Sikh marriages would be common in Rajasthan, though it could be assumed that such unions would attract some community attention. Information was located that indicates interfaith marriages in India are generally not viewed positively. A report from Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRBC), dated 2006, cites correspondence between a professor of Asian Studies who specialises in Indian affairs and IRBC, stating that „[t]he general societal attitude toward inter-religious marriage in India is „not favourable‟‟. The IRBC report further states: In correspondence to the Research Directorate, an India-based lawyer agreed that society in general disapproves of inter-religious marriages but added that the treatment of married couples with different religious backgrounds depends on their location and social levels […] and an associate professor of social and cultural anthropology added that “social attitudes often [cause people to] ostracize and discriminate against such unions”.2 Legal and religious policy regarding interfaith marriage 1„Rajasthan religion bill rejected‟, 2006, BBC News, 19 May, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4996708.stm – Accessed 3 December 2010 – Attachment 1; „Population of Rajasthan‟, 2010, India Online, http://www.indiaonlinepages.com/population/rajasthan-population.html – Accessed 3 December 2010 – Attachment 2.

D. Principal SDS College for Woman. Lopon Distt Moga Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com Agricultural marketing occupies a key position in the economy of the countries like India, because it mobilizes latent economy energy for the fullest utilization of productive capacity and also provides a base for economic integration. The present system of agricultural marketing is a reflection of contemporary spatial organization of economy, as well as of social and political conditions. Therefore, there is a need to study the changing pattern of marketing system which not only unfold the entire growth ecology of the system but also provide a base for development or planning. Development of markets and marketing or market place exchange system is a result of a long play of factors, geo-economic as well as sociocultural and historical. Therefore, there is an argent need to study the temporal aspect of the development of marketing systems in order to understand their present nature. Although the history of the growth of marketing in Rajasthan is very much similar to that of northern India, yet it has its own characterstic features which can be explained by systematic analysis of the pattern of agricultural marketing in : i. Ancient Period, ii. Medieval Period, iii. British or PreIndependence Period, and iv. Modern or PostIndependence Period.

  • Indian Army in the Ypres Salient World War I (1914-1918)
    Indian Army in the Ypres Salient World War – I (1914-1918) According to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, 138,000 soldiers from India were sent to Europe during the First World War. Most of these soldiers were deployed in the Ypres Salient and at nearby Neuve Chapelle in France during the period 1914-15. A very large number lost their lives in the campaign to halt the German advance. 2. The Indian Army’s involvement on the Western front started on 6 August 1914. That day, the War Council in London requested two infantry divisions and a cavalry brigade from the Viceroy's government to be sent to Egypt. On 27th August, these troops were ordered to Europe. 3. The supreme sacrifice of Indian soldiers in Europe is recorded in the major World War One memorial in continental Europe, Menin Gate, in Ypres, Belgium, and at the memorial for Indian soldiers in near-by Neuve Chappelle in France. In 2002, at the request of the Government of India, an Indian Memorial was erected on the lawn south of the Menin Gate. 4. After the war, India participated in the peace conference held in Versailles and was represented by Edwin Montague, the Secretary of State for India, Lord Satyendra Nath Sinha and His Highness Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner. The Peace Treaty of Versailles was signed by Mr. Montague and His Highness Maharaja Ganga Singh and India became an original member of the League of Nations. In 1945, when the conference to establish the United Nations Organisation was held in San Francisco, India participated and signed the Charter becoming a founding member of the United Nations.

  • The Khalsa March―Sri Ganganagar Combats Female Foeticide
    The Khalsa March― Sri Ganganagar Combats Female Foeticide Meeta SINGH (India) Sri Ganganagar is a border town of Rajasthan famous for its prosperity and fertile lands. It is called the granary of Rajasthan, the largest state in India. Sadly it is also infamous for the worst girl child sex ratio in Rajasthan; a dismal 850 girls to a thousand boys in the 0-6 year age group. The majority of the town's population is comprised of Sikhs who have the worst girl child sex ratio at 786 girls to a thousand boys. But the Sikh community in Sri Ganganagar has vowed to turn the tide. Under the leadership of Sardarni Kuldeep Kaur, the seventy four year young woman community leader of Jaipur, several steps towards combating female sex selective abortions have been taken up by the community. Following a workshop to sensitize community leaders, organized by Rajasthan University Women’s Association (RUWA) and a non profit international organization IFES with support from USAID in October 2005, Kuldeep Kaur has became achieve concerning this issue. Since then she has moved from strength to strength. It all started with forming women's community groups for worship in each of the 20 gurudwaras (Sikh temples of worship) of the city of Jaipur, the state capital. Each month these women's groups meet in one of the 20 gurudwaras, discuss the issue and get people to pledge against sex selection and female sex selective abortions. Kaur took this initiative further and liaised with the Sikh sangat (congregation) in Sri Ganganagar, where in November 2006 the community organized a mass wedding.
