Summary of Perspective Plan 3. Perspective Work Plan 2000-2007 PART - 1 Brief Profile of District Ludiiiana Location Ludhiana is the most centrally located district, which falls in the Malwa region of the State of Punjab. For administrative purposes it has been placed in the Patiala Division. It lies between north latitude 30° -34’ and 31° -01’ and east longitude 75°-18’and 75° '20’. It is bounded on the north by the river Satluj, which separates it from Jalandhar district. On other sides it shares common boundaries with Rupnagar and Fathegarh Sahib district in the east; Ferozepur and Moga districts in the west; and Sangrur district in the south and Nawanshahar district in the north, respectively. Origin of Name The district takes its name from Ludhiana city, which serves as the seat of district headquarters. Ludhiana city was founded in the times of Lodi dynasty which ruled at Delhi from 1451-1526 AD. The legend goes that two Lodi chiefs Yusaf Khan and Nihang Khan were deputed by Sikandar Lodi (1489-1517 AD) to restore order in this region. They camped at the site of present city of Ludhiana which was then a village called Mir Hota. Yusaf Khan went across the river Saduj in Jalandhar Doab to check Khokhars, who were plundering the Doab and made a settlement at Sultanpur (now in Kapurthala district), while Nihang Khan stayed back and founded the present city at the site of village Mir Hota. The new town was originally known as Lodiana, which means the town of Lodis. The name later corrupted to the present name Ludhiana. Area Ludhiana district has an area of 3767 sq. km., which is 4^*’ largest district in the state (Annexure-I). Climate The climatc of the district is characterised by dryness e.xcept in the brief spell of monsoon season, a very hot summer and a bracing winter. The cold season is from the middle of November to the early part of March. The succeeding period up to the end of June is the hot season. July, August and the first half of September constitute the south-west monsoon. The period from mid-September to about middle of November may be termed as post-monsoon or transitional period. Temperature increases rapidly after February. June is generally the hottest month. Hot and scorching dust-laden winds blow during summer season and on individual days the day temperature may reach above 45° C. With the onset of monsoon in early July there is appreciable drop in the day temperatures but the night temperatures are nearly as high as the day temperatures. Due to the presence of increased moisture the weather is sultr)' and humid and the days are quite uncomfortable after about mid-September the night temperatures drop appreciably. But in the day temperature the decrease is not rapidly. From about November, however both the day and night temperatures decrease rapidly till January, which is the coldest month. Rains are experienced in the months of January and February due to western disturbances, which cause appreciable drop in temperatures, which may touch the freezing point on some days. The rainfall in the district increases from South-West towards the North- East. About 70 percent of the rainfall is received during July to September. The rainfall during December to March accounts for 16 percent of the total rainfall. The remaining 84 percent rainfall is received in other, months of the year. In 2000-01, the district received annual rainfall of 437.2 mm (Annexure-I). Topography Ludhiana district is centrally located in the Punjab plain region, which is marked for its flatness and featurelessness. The topography of the district is a typical representative of an alluvial plain and it owes its origin to the aggravational work of the Satluj. The alluvium deposited by this river has been worked over by the wind, giving rise to a number of small sand dunes and sand mounds in this otherwise level area. In the Ludhiana plain, the elevation ranges from about 268 meters in the east to about 216 meters in the west. Thus the slope of the land is from east to west at the gentle gradient of about 2 feet in a kilometers. For a broad understanding of its relief the district can be divided into the following parts; a) The Floodplain of the Satluj The Satluj makes an extensive floodplain along its 96 kilometers course in the North of the district. This covers an area of about 600 square Kilometers, which accounts for about 16 pcrcent of the total area of the district and is locally known as Bet. Most of this tract is between the Satluj and its tributary, the Budha Nala, and runs parallel to the master stream for almost the whole of the length of the district. The Satluj floodplain does have its extension even south of the Budha Nala. The floodplain is the low-lying area, which has swampy condition in parts and possesses somewhat undulating topography. It is the widest in its eastern half (about 11 kms.) and gradually narrows down towards the west (about 5 kms.) prior to the construction of the Bhakra Dam over the Satluj in 1952 and the opening of the network of canals in 1954 the whole of the plain was flooded by the river during the rainy season. The damming of the Satluj had a profound cffcct in its alleviation and erosive power. The flood plain is now practically free from floods, except for a narrow strip of land along the river, which is locally called as Mand area. There is an extensive reclamation of cultivable land in the flood plain. Thus, the floodplain area of the Satluj is further divisible into two parts; (i) The Mand area (inundated area in high flood) and (ii) the flood free floodplain, which has been reclaimed for agricultural purposes. b) The Upland Plain The upland plain is locally known as Dhaiya. It accounts for about 84 percent of the total area of the district. It lies at a general elevation of about 243 meters above main sea level and has a gentle slope from the east to the West.
