    Report Code: 001_GBP_IIT_GEN_DAT_01_Ver 1_Dec 2010 River Ganga at a Glance: Identification of Issues and Priority Actions for Restoration Report Code: 001_GBP_IIT_GEN_DAT_01_Ver 1_Dec 2010 Preface In exercise of the powers conferred by sub‐sections (1) and (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986), the Central Government has constituted National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) as a planning, financing, monitoring and coordinating authority for strengthening the collective efforts of the Central and State Government for effective abatement of pollution and conservation of the river Ganga. One of the important functions of the NGRBA is to prepare and implement a Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). A Consortium of 7 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has been given the responsibility of preparing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP) by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), GOI, New Delhi. Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) has been signed between 7 IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and MoEF for this purpose on July 6, 2010. This report is one of the many reports prepared by IITs to describe the strategy, information, methodology, analysis and suggestions and recommendations in developing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). The overall Frame Work for documentation of GRB EMP and Indexing of Reports is presented on the inside cover page. There are two aspects to the development of GRB EMP. Dedicated people spent hours discussing concerns, issues and potential solutions to problems. This dedication leads to the preparation of reports that hope to articulate the outcome of the dialog in a way that is useful.

FOREWORD THE Uttar Pradesh Government asked me in March. 1952, (0 'supply them for the purposes of elections to local bodies population statistics with ,separation for scheduled castes (i) mohalla/ward-wise for urban areas, and (ii) village-wise for rural areas. The Census Tabulation Plan did nbt provide for sorting of scheduled cast<;s population for areas smaller than a tehsil or urban tract and the request from the Uttar Pradesh Government came when the slip sorting had been finished and (he Tabulation Offices closed. As the census slips are mixed up for the purposes of sorting in one lot for a tehsil or urban tract, collection of data regarding scheduled castes population by moh'allas/wards and villages would have involved enormous labour and expense if sorting of the slips had been taken up afresh. Fortunately, however, a secondary census record, viz. the National Citizens' Register, in which each slip has been copied, was available. By singular foresight it had been pre­ pared mohalla/ward-wise for urban areas and village-wise for rural areas. Th e required information has, therefore. been extracted from. this record, 2. In the above circumstances there is a slight difference in the figures of population as arrived at by an earlier sorting of the slips and as now determined by counting from the National Citizens' Register. This difference has been accen mated by an order passed by me during the later coum from the National Register of Citizens as follows:- (i) Count Ahirwars of Farrukhabad District, Raidas and Bhagar as ·Chamars'.

Laboratory Services 8.1 Haemoglobin Test ‐ State level As can be seen from the graph, hemoglobin test is being carried out at almost every FRU studied However, 10 percent medical colleges do not provide the basic Hb test. Division wise‐ As the graph shows, 96 percent of the FRUs on an average are offering this service, with as many as 13 divisions having 100 percent FRUs contacted providing basic Hb test. Hemoglobin test is not available at District Women Hospital (Mau), District Women Hospital (Budaun), CHC Partawal (Maharajganj), CHC Kasia (Kushinagar), CHC Ghatampur (Kanpur Nagar) and CHC Dewa (Barabanki). 132 8.2 CBC Test ‐ State level Complete Blood Count (CBC) test is being offered at very few FRUs. While none of the sub‐divisional hospitals are having this facility, only 25 percent of the BMCs, 42 percent of the CHCs and less than half of the DWHs contacted are offering this facility. Division wise‐ As per the graph above, only 46 percent of the 206 FRUs studied across the state are offering CBC (Complete Blood Count) test service. None of the FRUs in Jhansi division is having this service. While 29 percent of the health facilities in Moradabad division are offering this service, most others are only a shade better.

Kumar & Kavita Baliyan GIRI INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES (An Autonomous Institute Funded by ICSSR and Govt. Of UttarPradesh) Sector - O, Aliganj Housing Scheme LUCKNOW - 226024, U.P. INDIA April 2020 PREFACE Horticulture is an important component of agriculture having significant role in the economy of the country. India's varied agro-climatic conditions provides an additional advantage in favour of growing of a wide variety of horticultural crops such as fruits & vegetables, tuber crops, plantation crops, flowers, spices & condiments etc. Commercial importance of horticulture crops has also been increasing gaining all over the world as these crops contribute significantly to the country's economy. Various horticulture crops also play an important role in human nutrition, preventing diseases and contributing to the nation‟s development and prosperity. In particular, the horticulture crops such as fruits and vegetables are rich source of vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates that are essential in human diet. Similarly, other crops like flowers and ornamental crops enhance aesthetic value of our environment while medicinal crops yield pharmaceutical constituents. Thus, horticulture assumes a great importance in food and nutritional security, general health and well -being of our population. Horticulture crops form a vital part in the Indian agricultural production. India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world. Cultivation, marketing and processing of these crops generate significant employment and livelihood opportunities in many parts of the country.

  • Problems and Prospects of Oilseeds Production in Uttar Pradesh
    Study No. 137 Publication No. 185 Problems and Prospects of Oilseeds Production in Uttar Pradesh Prof. Ramendu Roy 2013 Agro-Economic Research Centre University of Allahabad Allahabad-211002 PREFACE India is an agrarian country because more than 70 per cent population of the country directly depends on agriculture and allied sectors. Agriculture is also backbone of economy of the country. A number of crops are grown in the country. Among the crops, wheat, rice, potato, sugarcane, cotton, vegetables etc are main crops of India. The pulses and oilseeds are also sown across the country. These are mostly rainfed crops. India was not self sufficient in food production prior to commencement of Green Revolution while it was self sufficient in pulses and oil seeds. India was importing huge quantity of food grains from global markets to meet food requirement of population of the country. Since the independence, the Government of India had paid maximum attention on agriculture sectors to pay maximum investment in this sector through Five Year Plan. The result of investment in agriculture sector was found very positive and significant. The role of green revolution was also very significant in boosting the production of wheat and rice. The production of wheat and rice has increased manifold due to introduction of green revolution. Now the country is not only sufficient in the production of wheat and rice rather these are being exported to foreign countries. The impact of green revolution was mostly confined to only wheat and rice. On account of this, the farmers have changed their cropping pattern in favour of rice and wheat crops.

  • Demographic Challenges and Opportunities in the Context of U
    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) ISSN: 2278-487X. Volume 6, Issue 6 (Jan. - Feb. 2013), PP 18-29 www.iosrjournals.org Demographic Challenges and Opportunities in the economically marginalized economy 1Ms.Shraddha Verma(Lecturer),2Ms Shobha Upadhyay(Lecturer), 3Ms Deepti Chadha(Lecturer) 1,3Lecturer(Department of BBA), Shri Ramswaroop Memorial College of Management, Lucknow 2Lecturer(Department of MBA), Shri Ramswaroop Memorial College of Management, Lucknow, Abstract: This paper discusses emerging demographic patterns and its opportunities and challenges for U.P. Demographic change in India is opening up new economic opportunities. As in many countries, declining infant and child mortality helped to flash lower fertility, effectively resulting in a temporary baby boom. Moreover, changes in population age structure have opened the door to increased prosperity. Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India with a population of 199,581,477 million people as of 1 March 2011. If it were a separate country, Uttar Pradesh would be the world's fifth most populous nation, next only to China. Population growth of Uttar Pradesh in 2011 is 20.09%, Sex Ratio is 908 in 2011. Economic and demographic factors reveal important and significant influences Demographics. It presents some opportunities that can arise from having demographic changes, particularly the demographic dividend and interstate migration to overcome labour shortage in some parts. At the same time, there are serious challenges in the form of enhancing human capital development, addressing the issue of tilted sex ratio, and the possible rise in social and political unrest and conflict. Economic growth itself will be correlated to the age structure of the population.

  • Analysis of Groundwater Quality of Aligarh City, (India): Using Water Quality Index
    Current World Environment Vol. 9(3), 851-857 (2014) Analysis of Groundwater Quality of Aligarh City, (India): Using Water Quality Index. KHwaJA M. Anwar and Vanita AggarwaL Department of Civil Engineering, Maharishi Markandeshwar University, Mullana, Ambala, India. http://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CWE.9.3.36 (Received: August 16, 2014; Accepted: September 21, 2014) ABSTRACT Water is essential for all living organisms for their existence and metabolic process.
