  • Stable-Ships of Tiruppudaimarudur and Tirukkurunkudi (South India)*
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 44.4 (2009) 551-567 STABLE-SHIPS OF TIRUPPUDAIMARUDUR AND TIRUKKURUNKUDI (SOUTH INDIA)* JEAN DELOCHE** (Received 13 October 2008) In the district of Tirunelveli, South India, two works of art provide some significant information bearing on Indian nautical technology. The first one is found in the gopura of boat anchored in a harbour; the second one decorates the gateway of the Tirukkurunkudi temple with a relief which shows a ship disembarking horses and elephants. Though not strictly accurate, both the painting and carving are of an exceptional importance since they are the unique representations of the stable-ships which, for centuries, plied in the western part of the Indian Ocean, the first one coming from the Persian Gulf, the other, from the Red Sea. It is certain that these documents will be used by scholars to illustrate the fascinating history of horse trade from the Near East to India during the Medieval period. Key words: Boat, Persian Gulf, , Red Sea, Ship, Technology. INTRODUCTION The representations of ancient boats and ships in India are not numerous: some images on seals from the Harappan period, engravings on bas-reliefs and coins, from the 2nd century BC to the 7th century AD, Ajanta paintings (6th century) (Deloche 1996, pp. 199-224), carvings on memorial stones from the 11th-15th century (Deloche 1987, pp. 164-184), a few Rajput or Mughal miniatures (Verma 1978, pp. 109-11, pl. LXXI); finally, the Maratha drawings in the Prince * Revised version of two of my articles published in Bulletin de l’Ecole française d’Extrême- Orient, 72 (1983) 1-11 and 76 (1987), 170, 182-84.

Despite limitations in catching and carrying capacity, these crafts capture the bulk of the fish catch in the Bay of Bengal, and sustain a few million fishermen – and women from fishing communities who market the catch. This calendar provides glimpses into these crafts, which have been active for centuries and may well be around a few more.

  • M/S. JINDAL URBAN WASTE MANAGEMENT (VISAKHAPATNAM
    M/s. JINDAL URBAN WASTE MANAGEMENT (VISAKHAPATNAM) LIMITED PRE- FEASIBILITY REPORT For PROPOSED SCIENTIFIC LANDFILL FACILITY At KAPULUPPPADA VILLAGE, BHEEMNIPATNAM MANDAL, VISAKHAPATNAM DISTRICT, ANDHRA PRADESH SCHEDULE 7 (i) – COMMON MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITY (CATEGORY ‘A’) M/s Jindal Urban Waste Management (Visakhapatnam) Limited Prefeasibility Report 1. INTRODUCTION In Andhra Pradesh (AP), urban population has witnessed significant growth over the last fifty years. Andhra Pradesh has 110 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) with a population of 135 lakhs (Census 2011) which has increased to 146 lakhs as per Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department (MA&UD), with AP registering a growth rate of 400% and urban population constituting 29.6% of the total population and it continues to grow at an accelerated pace. The significant growth is mainly due to the migration of people from rural to urban areas in search of better livelihood opportunities. With this increasing trend of urban population, there is an abnormal increase in generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) quantities affecting health and environment. Segregation of waste at source, proper collection & transportation of waste, treatment & scientific disposal of waste has become a challenging task due to insufficient and inefficient systems in place thereby, leading to degradation of environment and poor quality of life. The proposed project area comes under the jurisdiction of Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh. Proposed scientific landfill comes under Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation area, which has been divided into 6 zones compromising of 72 wards under Bheemnipatnam mandal in Visakhapatnam district. The total area available at Kapuluppada site is about 110 acres under GVMC, out of which 17.08 acres for WtE facilities and about 39.85 acres for scientific landfill.
