District Census Handbook, Anantapur
CENSUS OF INDIA 1981 SERIES 2 ANDHRA PRADESH DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK ANANTAPUR PARTS XIII-A & B VILLAGE & TOWN DIRECTORY VILLAGE & TOWNWISE PRIMARY CENSUS· ABSTRACT S. S. JAYA RAO OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE DIRECTOR OF CENSUS OPERATIONS ANDHRA PRADESH PUBLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH .1986 SRI KRISHNADEVARA YA UNIVERSITY, ANANTAPUR The motif given on the cover page is the Library Building representing Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapur. Land of Diamonds and Great Empires, Rayalaseema, heir to a very rich and varied cultural heritage, now proudly advances to a new milestone in her progress when the new University was inaugurated on the 22nd November, 1981. True to the legacy of the golden era, the new University is named after SRI KRISHNADEVARAYA, the greatest of the Vijayanagara Rulers. The formation of Sri Krishnadevaraya University fulfils the long cherished dreams and aspirations of the students, academicians, educationists and the general public of the region. The new University originated through the establishment of a Post-Graduate Centre at Anantapur which was commissioned in 1968 with the Departments of Telugu, English, Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics with a strength of 60 students and 26 faculty members. It took its umbrage in the local Government Arts Col/ege, Anantapur as an affiliate to the Sri Venkateswara University. In 1971, the Post-Graduate Centle moved into its own campus at a distance of 11 Kilometers from Anantapur City on the Madras Highway in an area of 243 hectares. The campus then had just two blocks, housing Physical Sciences and Humanities with a few quarters for the staff and a hostel for the boys. -

Reuse of Irrigation Drainage Water in Gonchi Systems
Title: Reuse of irrigation drainage water from command areas: Learning from Traditional Gonchi channels in Andhra Pradesh, India Ramamohan Venkata Ramachandrula, Joint Director (Sustainable Livelihoods), Centre for World Solidarity (CWS), Hyderabad, India. Abstract Gonchi seepage channels in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, India are traditional forms of diversion channels used by farmers to divert seepage water from streams and rivers to cultivate food crops. Each such Gonchi channel runs for about 3 to 7 km and typically each irrigates 200 to 300 acres. Farmers benefiting from these channels are traditionally organized into strong informal groups and local regulations on allocations and use are still in place in most of the villages. Paddy is the predominant crop cultivated in these areas during October to January period every year. A field study done on 37 such channels in Pennar river basin revealed that most of them are being maintained well by Gonchi committees but few require renovation works that are beyond the capacity of these committees. These channels once used freshwater from rains and seepage flows in streams and river Pennar. After the construction of Mid Pennar Reservoir (MPR) at Penakacherla in Anantapur district in 1968, these seepage channels got rejuvenated by increased inflow of irrigation drainage its command areas. Many seepage channels in Anantapur district may be renovated through systematic re-use of such drainage water from command areas of modern irrigation projects. Key words: Gonchi, Seepage channels, reuse of irrigation drainage 1. Introduction India has a diverse practice of traditional water conservation, storage, distribution and utilization methods evolved and practised traditionally for centuries. -

His talents took him to Bangalore and film producers made use of his singing skills in their movies in 1930’s. He acted as Krishna in Sri Krishna Leelalu movie in 1935 and it was a big hit. He became a household name in Andhra Pradesh through his songs. •K.L.Saigal was impressed with the kid and let him learn Hindustani music from him. Rajeswara Rao learnt to play many musical instruments such as tabla, dholak, mridangam, harmonium, sitar, piano, mandolin and electric guitar. He developed skills for mixing various instruments. •He moved to Madras and worked as an assistant to other music directors for some time. Then he started his own music troupe and became a full fledged music director. •He was well known in Telugu films. He also did Tamil and Kannada movies. His notable Tamil films were: Nandanaar, Miss Malini, Chandralekha, Apoorva Sakodhararkal, Maya Bazaar (four songs), Missiamma, Pattaliyin Vetri and Vikramaththithan • He was a sensitive artist.

View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CGSpace 7th ASAE International Conference ‘Meeting the Challenges Facing Asian Agriculture and Agricultural Economics Toward a Sustainable Future’, Hanoi, Vietnam, 13‐15 October, 2011 The adoption and impact of an improved drought‐tolerant, dual‐purpose groundnut variety in Southern India Nils Teufel, Nancy Johnson, Dhiraj Singh Abstract: This paper looks at the adoption and impact of an improved groundnut cultivar in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Despite positive results in farmer‐participatory varietal selection, adoption was extremely low despite promotional efforts of a local NGO. The few farmers who adopted the variety generated significant benefits. They earned higher profits per hectare and their agricultural asset portfolios (a measure of wealth) increased significantly more than those of non‐adopters. This raises the question of why, if the variety is beneficial, adoption is so low. Some possible explanations and their implications for future varietal development and dissemination are discussed. 1. Introduction There were many reasons to expect that the groundnut variety ICGV91114, released officially in 2006, would be widely adopted in Anantapur district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in southern India. The variety was bred for drought tolerance as well as for high yields, and it was screened for the quantity and quality of the haulms (stems), a major source of feed for livestock. ICGV91114 was developed by research and development organisations through a participatory process with extensive farmer involvement (Nigam et al, 2005). Experimental data from farmers’ fields consistently showed that ICGV91114 outperformed traditional varieties (Nigam et al, 2005).
