NATIONAL SEMINAR Date: 14 Th-15Th March 2014 SECOND CIRCULAR NATIONAL SEMINAR on LAND AND WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN CENTRAL INDIA Date: 14th-15th March 2014 Organized by Department of Ancient Indian History, Culture & Archaeology, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University, Amarkantak (M.P.) SECOND CIRCULAR Theme of the Seminar: The history of Man-Land-Water relationship begins with the origin of human being on the earth. At the early stage, man was totally depended upon his surrounding environment. From Neolithic period, man started exploiting the land resources and water bodies for various purposes. At least from the Pre-Harappan period, Man started to control the natural resources- Land and Water. Thus, Land and Water resource management are two significant aspects for the development of Man and the State. The Land resource management would have started from the period when settled agriculture was started. The early literature of India, archaeological sources do indicate that for state formation Land resource management played a very important role. The Dynastic history of Central India, including that of Mauryas, Sakas, Satavahanas, Panduvanshis, Sarabhapurias, Kalchuries, Paramaras, Pratiharas, Chandellas, Kachchhapghatas and others (from early times to 13th century) provide various references about land system, land revenue and different types of land of the state. No doubt, the land system ascended the feudatory system in early medieval history of India. In the medieval period various regional states ruled in different parts of Central India. In this aspect, mentioned may be made of Bhopal State of Nawab, Gwalior State of Schindia, Holkars of Indore, Bhonsles of Nagpur and a number of small states. These regional states introduced new system of land resource management. With the coming of the British rule, the colonial master had their own system of land management which was accepted to provide to them maximum land revenue. The Ryotwari, Mahalwari and Zamindari system took its root in this period. The tribes of the region such as, the Baiga, the Gonds, the Kamars, The Bhils etc residing in Bastar, Jagdalpur, Sarguja, Mandla, Chhinwara have their indigenous land revenue system. After independence, the Indian state has introduced land resource management through various legislations, policies and programmes. The history of Water resource management goes back to prehistoric period. The small dams constructed during Early Harappan period and the findings of various irrigation cannels, ponds, tanks etc. reveal the system of water management during Harappan period. In the early historical period there are various references regarding the construction of tanks, wells, ponds and dams on small rivers and streams along with irrigation cannels as known from epigraphs and excavated sites. The benevolent rulers made every possible effort for the management of water resources particularly in those areas where there were scanty rainfall. As a result the dynastic rulers introduced a number of innovative methods to conserve water. The regional state of Central India also contributed in this regard for example, the Nawab of Bhopal and Raja Bhoj of Parmar dynasty made elaborate arrangement for conservation of water. The Britishers in India had their own water resource management as revealed from various irrigation cannels- cum-small dams and reservoirs constructed during the period as reflected in various archival documents of the periods. After independence, the state of India has initiated various steps for water resource management and conservation of water by constructing big and small dams, irrigation cannels etc through various policies and programmes. The construction of big dams is a debatable issue. Indira Sagar Project in Madhya Pradesh has created a lot of resentments among the local people who are protesting for the issue of displacement. The unique type of Satyagraha and Jalsatragraha is still continuing at Khandwah in Madhya Pradesh by men and women. Even the tribes of Central India are managing their surrounding land and water resources by their own traditional methods and techniques. The land and water are scarce resources for India. India has more than 17 % of world population but has only 4% of world’s renewable water Resources with 2.6% of world’s land area. The demand of land and water is increasing rapidly due to growing population, rapid organisation, rapid industrialization and economic development. In this regard, it is essential to evolve the system for integrated management of land and water recourses and to design integrated policy. The government of India is coming with revised national water policy for enrolment of water use efficiency, urban and rural water supply and sanitation. This revised policy will give a new opportunity to private players for implementation of new technologies in water supply and sanitation The government of India has created the department of Waste land Development in 1992 which has been subsequently recognized and renamed as Department of Land Resources with a broader mandate. Various programs like DPAP (Drought Prone Area Programme) DDP (Desert Development Programme), MGNREGS (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme), IWDP (Integrated Watershed Development Programme), NRDWP (National Rural Drinking Water Programme) etc. have been initiated by the Government of India for land and water resources management. The United Nation is celebrating this year as international year of water conservation. The seminar takes into account very important aspects of Land and Water Resource Management in Central India from early times to contemporary period. The deliberation shall focus on indigenous land and water management system among the tribes and assess the programs and policies of the government which shall be helpful in formulating future polices of land and water resources management for the people of the area. Sub-themes of the Seminar 1. Land and Water Resource Management in Central India (from Pre-historic Age to British Period). 2. Geographical and socio-economic concept of Land and Water in Central India. 3. Land and Water Resource Management among the tribes and contemporary societies of Central India. 4.

    DIRECTORATE OF PULSES DEVELOPMENT, GOI, BHOPAL STATE OF INDIAN AGRICULTURE: PULSE CROP MATERIAL-Reg. (Ref. No.18-12/2015-CA.III) 1. INTRODUCTION 1.0 Pulses are an important commodity group of crops that provide high quality protein complementing cereal proteins for pre-dominantly substantial vegetarian population of the country. Although, being the largest pulse crop cultivating country in the World, pulses share to total foodgrain production is only 6-7% in the country. The cultivation of pulses builds-up a mechanism to fix atmospheric nitrogen in their root nodules and thus meet their nitrogen requirements to a great extent. 1.1 In India, pulses can be produced with a minimum use of resources and hence, it becomes less costly even than animal protein. In comparison to other vegetables, pulses are rich in protein which are less expensive and can be cultivated as inter-crop and mixed crop. Pulses are mostly cultivated under rainfed conditions and do not require intensive irrigation facility and this is the reason why pulses are grown in areas left after satisfying the demand for cereals/cash crops. Even in such conditions, pulses give better returns. Apart from this, pulses possess several other qualities such as they are rich in protein, improve soil fertility and physical structure, fit in mixed/inter-cropping system, crop rotations and dry farming and provide green pods for vegetable and nutritious fodder for cattle, as well. 1.2 Although important from the nutritional point of view, there has not been significant increase in area and production of pulses during 1950-51 to 2009-10.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Contesting Seclusion: The Political Emergence of Muslim Women in Bhopal, 1901-1930 This study examines the emergence of Indian Muslim women as politicians and social reformers in the early years of the twentieth century by focussing on the state of Bhopal, a small Muslim principality in Central India, which was ruled by a succession of female rulers throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The last Begam of Bhopal, Nawab Sultan Jahan Begam (1858-1930, r. 1901-1926), emerges as the main figure in this history, though a substantial effort has also been made to examine the activities of other Bhopali women, whether poor, privileged or princely. Special significance has been attached to their changing attitudes to class, gender and communal identities, using the veil as a metaphor for women’s expanding concerns.

  • History of Public Health Engineering (Phe) Department and Its Setup
    HISTORY OF PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING (PHE) DEPARTMENT AND ITS SETUP Written & Compiled By KRISHAN MURARI GUPTA ( Executive Engineer, Retired, PHED) Distributed By the courtesy of Public Health Engineering Retired Officer’s (PHERO) CLUB, BHOPAL PREFACE As on date, there is no official document or manual which describes about the formation of Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department in Madhya Pradesh. Even the senior retired officers of the Department, who joined before the reorganisation of States, did not have clear picture of old period, and in this condition how we can expect from the officers/ officials, who joined after 1970 or so, that they know about the background of the department. The incoming younger pools of officers are and will be completely unaware of it. Since the last two years, I was constantly thinking to work on and find out the history of our Department, how it came in to today’s shape and structure, who was the first PHE, how and when their designation changed, when major expansions took place, when it changed its office buildings & locations etc.etc. I shared my intention with the departmental mates during monthly schedule of PHERO Club meetings, but due to complexity of the task and non availability of old data, I could not prepare myself, to take up this task. Then some months back, some of my senior colleagues reminded me and encouraged me to start this marathon task of writing ‘History of PHE Department and its setup’ and assured me to provide all help and support wherever required. So, with the inspiration of S/Shri R.A.
