  • Sustaining the Traditional Paithani Saree Weaving of Maharashtra, India Reena Bhatia1* and Deepti Desai2
    Available online at www.globalilluminators.org GlobalIlluminators FULL PAPER PROCEEDING Multidisciplinary Studies Full Paper Proceeding ITMAR -2014, Vol. 1, 529-536 ISBN: 978-969-9948-24-4 ITMAR-14 Sustaining The Traditional Paithani Saree Weaving Of Maharashtra, India 1* 2 Reena Bhatia and Deepti Desai 1,2Department of Clothing and Textiles, Faculty of Family and Community Sciences, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India. Abstract Among the hand woven sarees of India, Paithani is famous and has played a significant role in weaving together the socio-cultural fabric of Maharashtra since it is traditionally a part of the trousseau of every Maharashtra bride. The aim of the study was to document the existing weaving traditions of Paithani and explore the possibility of weaving Paithani as a yardage with different product layout. To achieve the formulated objectives a descriptive cum exploratory study was planned. Data collection was done through observation and interview schedule during field visits in Bhandge Lane, Yeola. The weavers were selected through purposive random sampling. Adaptation of Paithani saree layout on handloom was done for selected product range to unearth new opportunities for a local craft and help them expand their market. Data analysis indicated that the younger generation was involved in the traditional weaving of Paithani saree. The weavers were training their children in traditional weaving practices of Paithani; contributing positively to its sustainability. The craft details in terms of raw materials, loom set-up, dyeing, weaving process, types of Paithani, colours and motifs was documented through photographs and supplemented with text. It was reassuring to learn that 80 per cent of weavers would prefer to diversify into other products instead of just weaving saree if done using same technique of Paithani weaving.

  • Environmental Status Report Chapter 6
    CHAPTER 6 ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS REPORT 6.1 INTRODUCTION The history of Marathwada can be traced as far back as to the days of the Satvahanas who ruled during the second and third centuries A.D. with their capital at Pratishthanapura, the present day Paithan. Pratishthanpura on the banks of the Godavari, referred to by Greek historians of the second century A.D. as Paithan, was a great commercial centre and was the capital of the Satavahans. Aurangabad, now Divisional Head - Quarters of the Marathwada region. The Aurangabad city was founded in 1610 A.D. by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam Shah of Ahmednagar on the sight of village called Khirki. Malik Ambar was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khirki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions including Fatehnagar came under the possession of the Moghals. In 1653, when Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan, he made Fatehnagar his capital and called it Aurangabad. Since then the city came to be known as Aurangabad. New Aurangabad divisional Head Quarters of the Marathwada occupy a place of pride in the history of India. Lying at the crossroads of ancient trade routes and nestled centrally in the Deccan plateau, Aurangabad has naturally been the scene on which a great many "Cunning Passages" of history have been enacted and unfolded. Endowed with a rich cultural past and a capacity for absorbing the shocks and 238 transformations of historical change into its own characteristic personality, the city occupies an important place on the tourist map of the world.

  • Equitable Distrubution of Water in Upper Godavari Sub Basin: a Case Study from Maharashtra Abstract
    nd 2 World Irrigation Forum (WIF2) W.1.2.06 6-8 November 2016, Chiang Mai, Thailand EQUITABLE DISTRUBUTION OF WATER IN UPPER GODAVARI SUB BASIN: A CASE STUDY FROM MAHARASHTRA Suresh A Kulkarni1 ABSTRACT Maharashtra state of India is located in the semi-arid climatic zone where assured irrigation supply is essential for optimal crop growth. Presently, only about 20% of the state's cultivable area is brought under irrigation. Since last four decades, the state government has been giving emphasis on water resources development by constructing large and small dams. The state now has the highest number of dams in the country creating a storage capacity of about 40 billion cubic meters. About 70% of surface water storages are used for irrigation. In absence of integrated approach at basin/ sub-basin level, there has been lopsided development and use of water resources in the state. As the basins/ sub-basins are getting closed due to over usage of water, conflicts among upstream and downstream stakeholders and different categories of uses are escalating. Maharashtra Water Resources Regulatory Authority was established in 2005 to regulate and ensure equitable distribution and utilization of water resources in the state. Godavari basin, the second largest basin in India covers about half of Maharashtra’s geographical area. Maharashtra part of the Godavari basin is divided into 27 sub-basins. The Upper Godavari Sub-basin is one of the most developed basin in terms of agriculture, urban and industrial growth in the state. Many irrigation projects were constructed in the sub-basin to meet the growing water demand for irrigation, domestic and industrial uses.
