Socio-Economic Profile of Jammu & Kashmir 2008 Government of Jammu & Kashmir Socio-Economic Profile of Jammu & Kashmir 2008 Directorate of Economics & Statistics Jammu & Kashmir Foreword It is a matter of privilege for the Directorate of Economics & Statistics to compile the maiden issue of an important, much needed and highly sought after publication titled “Socio- Economic Profile of Jammu And Kashmir-2008”. Different from other books available to large sphere of readers both in and outside the State of Jammu and Kashmir, this is the only book containing together all exhaustive information on economy, polity, culture, history and tourism of the state. The background information alongwith latest statistical updates and brief profiles of all the districts including the newly eight ones add more beauty to it. In addition to the above topics including poverty and unemployment, human development, regional imbalances etc. have also been given space to keep the readers abreast of the issues and concerns within the state. Combination of analysis, statistics and information, this book will be of immense use to all kinds of readers be it administrators, scholars, planners, tourists or the student community. The state of Jammu and Kashmir particularly Kashmir vale needs no introduction to the world. Some call it “Asian Switzerland” and some “Paradise on Earth”. The state of Jammu and Kashmir comprising the extreme western sector of Himalayas is land locked. The majestic heights of its snow-capped mountains, gurgling streams, green meadows, enchanting lakes and its picturesque lush green forests offer some of the liveliest scenic beauty spots. Kashmir has been one of the main roots of cultural and commercial intercourse between India and countries to the west including the Middle East. Today the state occupies a strategic place on the country’s map with its border touching Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tibet and China. Jammu and Kashmir State is one of the most sparsely populated area in the whole of India. In consonance with the pronounced rural character of the population in the State, the occupational distribution is biased in favour of agriculture. Leaving aside Ladakh which has little vegetation, the State of Jammu and Kashmir is richly endowed with forests. The state is also known to have occurrence of coal, lignite, copper, lead. Zinc, cobalt, limestone, bauxite, borax and precious stones. The present publication also makes a detailed appraisal of the various resources of the state, and throws light on the key sectors of economy viz; agriculture, horticulture, forestry, fisheries, industry, tourism etc. Besides this, various other aspects of the state viz; Judiciary, Land and people, crafts, cuisine, university/colleges etc. have been given space as well. Lastly this book has been prepared under a team lead by the undersigned, again with an effort spread over several months. I wish to express my sincere appreciation of the hard work and cooperation rendered by Mr.Imtiyaz Ahmed, Assistant Director and Mr.Manzoor Qadir, Statistical Assistant for this maiden venture. I Wish you very happy reading. (G.A.

    Journal of Ecology and the Natural Environment Vol. 3(13), pp. 424-440, 12 November, 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/JENE ISSN 2006 - 9847©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Impact of climatic change on agro-ecological zones of the Suru-Zanskar valley, Ladakh (Jammu and Kashmir), India R. K. Raina and M. N. Koul* Department of Geography, University of Jammu, India. Accepted 29 September, 2011 An attempt was made to divide the Suru-Zanskar Valley of Ladakh division into agro-ecological zones in order to have an understanding of the cropping system that may be suitably adopted in such a high altitude region. For delineation of the Suru-Zanskar valley into agro-ecological zones bio-physical attributes of land such as elevation, climate, moisture adequacy index, soil texture, soil temperature, soil water holding capacity, slope, vegetation and agricultural productivity have been taken into consideration. The agricultural productivity of the valley has been worked out according to Bhatia’s (1967) productivity method and moisture adequacy index has been estimated on the basis of Subrmmanyam’s (1963) model. The land use zone map has been superimposed on moisture adequacy index, soil texture and soil temperature, soil water holding capacity, slope, vegetation and agricultural productivity zones to carve out different agro-ecological boundaries. The five agro-ecological zones were obtained. Key words: Agro-ecology, Suru-Zanskar, climatic water balance, moisture index. INTRODUCTION Mountain ecosystems of the world in general and India in degree of biodiversity in the mountains. particular face a grim reality of geopolitical, biophysical Inaccessibility, fragility, diversity, niche and human and socio economic marginality.

  • Better Economic Alternative for Rural Kashmir :By Mr. Riyaz Ahmed Wani
    Better economic alternative for rural Kashmir :by Mr. Riyaz Ahmed Wani GENESIS OF ECONOMIC CRISIS IN J&K Post 1947, Kashmir economy had a cataclysmic start. The state embarked upon its development process by the enactment of Big Landed Estates Act 1949-50, a radical land redistribution measure which abolished as many as nine thousand Jagirs and Muafis. The 4.5 lac acres of land so expropriated was redistributed to tenants and landless. Land ceiling was fixed at 22.75 acres. This was nothing short of a revolutionary departure from a repressive feudal past. And significantly enough, it was preceded or followed by little or negligible social disturbance. This despite the fact that no compensation was paid to landlords. More than anything else, it is this measure which set the stage for new J&K economy. In the given circumstances, the land reforms proved sufficient to turn around the economic condition of the countryside with the hitherto tenants in a position to own land and cultivate it for themselves. However, the reforms though unprecedented in their nature and scale were not only pursued for their own sake but were also underpinned by an ambitious economic vision. Naya Kashmir, a vision statement of Shiekh Muhammad Abdullah, laid down more or less a comprehensive plan for a wholesome economic development of the state. But the dismissal of Shiekh Abdullah’s legitimately elected government in 1953 by the centre changed all that. The consequent uncertainty which lingers even now created an adhocist political culture animated more by vested interest than a commitment to the development of the state.

Gujarati Science College, Indore (M.P.) Abstract: The present study was carried out to evaluate the water quality status of Anchar lake Kashmir whole year from January 2013 to December 2013. Anchar lake, an urban shallow basin lake with a maximum depth of 2.6 meters was getting modified as a result of cultural eutrophication due to anthropogenic pressure, siltation and the effluent released from Sheri-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS). The physico-chemical characteristics assessed at seven selected sites for pH, conductivity, temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen (DO), Total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, free CO2, sulphate, phosphate, iron, ammonical nitrogen, sodium and potassium. Result shows positive correlation among all the physico-chemical parameters except DO. The study reveals that site 7 near SKIMS was highly nutrient rich with respect to other sites. I. Introduction Water is the Universal solvent, abundant and useful component, without it life is impossible. These water bodies are not only important for water, but also for their ecological importance as they provide habitat to aquatic flora and fauna including different species of birds. They may also comprise an important component for sustainable tourism and recreation.

An Ethnobotanical Study of Medicinal Plants used by the Locals in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, India Mahesh Kumar, Yash Paul and V. K. Anand Department of Botany, University of Jammu, Jammu.-180006 e-mail. [email protected] Issued October 01, 2009 Abstract This study represents a systematic attempt to explore the knowledge of the native people about plants, which they use to cure diseases. And it is an attempt towards conserving the local knowledge of people to plants. This paper presents a list and uses of some medicinal plants distributed in the high altitude district Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir. The list was prepared during an ethno-botanical survey of the region from December 2007 to January, 2009. This paper provides information about 71 ethno-medicinally useful plants grown in this region. In this paper, family, botanical name, local name, ethnomedicinal uses are given for each plant. Introduction It is documented that 80% of the world population has faith in traditional medicines, particularly plant drugs for their primary healthcare (Kala et al., 2006). The use of plants for medicinal purposes and human sustenance has been in practice in India since the Vedic age. The earliest mention of the medicinal use of the plants is found in the Rigveda, 1500-400 BC, Athurveda 1500 BC, Upnishada 1000-600 BC (Chauhan, 1999). In India about 17000 species of higher plants out of which 7500 are known for medicinal uses (Shiva, 1996).
