ABSTRACT Kashmir valley which is functionally a city-centered region, for the geographical, historical, socio-economic forces of urbanization have shaped and contributed to the emergence of urban primacy of Srinagar city. Being the single largest city, Srinagar constitutes around two-third of the state's urban population. The socio-cultural artifacts of Srinagar city is the accretion of a long period of time as over a period of six hundred years or so, the city has cradled itself between the hills of Hariparbat (Hawal) and Shankaracharya (Dalgate) along the banks of the river Jhelum.

  • Master Plan for Ganderbal
    Draft MASTER PLAN FOR GANDERBAL -2032 Master Plan January 2013 FEEDBACK INFRA PRIVATE LIMITED & B E CONSULTANT TOWN PLANNING ORGANISATION, KASHMIR Government of Jammu and Kashmir Ganderbal Master Plan - 2032 Preface Cities have become concentrates of intelligence and demand large investments for their development. Large resources are spent on the development of various urban settlements but the condition of these towns continues to deteriorate because of piecemeal nature of expenditure and lack of definitive development schemes. Adhoc efforts neither result in better environment nor strengthen the economic base. In view of this, Town Planning Organisation, Kashmir has undertaken the preparation of the Master Plans for various towns, which envisages all encompassing development of these towns. Master Plans are expected to give impetus to the development and economic potential of the towns. In the first phase, the Master Plans of district headquarters have been taken up which will be followed up by Master Plans of other small and medium towns. The Government has also decided to outsource few Master Plans; however, the Master Plan for Ganderbal, which is on the threshold of becoming Class I town, has been outsourced to M/S Feedback Infra Private Limited, Gurgaon. The Master Plan-Ganderbal (2012-32) is the first planning effort in Kashmir region that has been outsourced to any private consultant by Town Planning Organisation, Kashmir. The studies involved in the preparation of Master Plan for Ganderbal (2012-32) concerns with the areas crucial to planning and development of the region. It has been a great privilege for M/S Feedback Infra Private Limited, Gurgaon to undertake the assignment of formulating the Master Plan of Ganderbal (2012-32).

  • 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.

During the present study an attempt was made to analyse some of the important physico-chemical parameters of the water samples at three different sites of the Manasbal Lake to check the pollution load. Various parameters were analysed for a period of six months on monthly intervals by following standard methods. Among the various parameters recorded the overall Air temperature ranged from 7.2°C to 30.2°C; Surface water temperature ranged from 6.1°C to 26.5°C; Secchi-disc transparency from 1.5 m to 4.5m; Conductivity varied from 149 to 292 μScm-1; -1 -1 Dissolved oxygen from 2.4 to 8.8 mg L ; Free Co2 from 2.0 to 14.0 mg L ; pH from 8.1 to 9.2; Total Alkalinity varied from 126 to 243 mg L-1; Chloride values ranged from 5.9 to 33.5 mg L-1; Total Hardness ranged from 119 to 218 mg L-1; Ammonical Nitrogen varied from 27 to 193μg L-1; Nitrate Nitrogen varied from 31 to 286 μg L-1; Ortho-Phosphate Phosphorous varied from 4.3 to 33.0 μg L-1 and Phosphate Phosphorous ranged from 83.0 to 261 μg L-1.

Acknowledgement Lakes and Water bodies are one of the most important natural resources of our State. Apart from being most valuable natural habitat for number of flora and fauna, these lakes and Water bodies are the life line for number of communities of our state. No systematic scientific study for monitoring and planning of these lakes and water bodies was carried out and more than 90%of our lakes and water bodies are till date neglected altogether. The department realized the need of creating the first hand information long back in 1998 and prepared the Directory of lakes and water bodies using Survey of India Topographical Maps on 1:50,000.With the advent of satellite technology the study of these lakes and water bodies has become easier and the task of creating of information pertaining to these lakes and water bodies using latest high resolution data along with Survey of India Topographical Maps and other secondary information available with limited field checks/ground truthing has been carried out to provide latest information regarding the status of these lakes and water bodies.

Executive Summary Jammu & Kashmir experienced one of the worst floods in the past 60 years, during first week of September 2014, due to unprecedented and intense rains. The Jhelum River and its tributaries were in spate and caused extensive flooding in the region. The Decision Support Centre (DSC) of NRSC in collaboration with Department of Environment & Remote Sensing, J&K took necessary action on satellite data acquisition and processing and kept a close watch on the flood situation. All possible data from Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites, as well as foreign satellites, covering Kashmir valley were obtained and analyzed. Rapid flood mapping and monitoring was done on almost daily basis and the flood inundation information was prepared. In addition, cumulative flood inundation, flood progression and recession maps were also prepared. Flood inundation simulation study was done using CARTO-DEM for Jhelum River to identify the possible flood affected areas and the same was uploaded on Bhuvan portal.
