The orange crop plays a vital role within the economy of the region. Among the fruit crops, orange crop covers about 45,226 ha area in Vidarbha. There is still a good potential toward bringing a lot of area below orange in Vidarbha region. The present paper analyses the information behaviour of orange growers concerning the production of the oranges. The various types of constraints confronted by the orange grower related to production of orange are rootstock availability, labour availability, manures and fertilizers, irrigation, plant protection, capital, availability of loan from co-operative society, technical information, use of growth regulator, supporting and constraints confronted by the orange grower related to marketing of orange are Grading, Transportation, Sale of produce, Packaging, Storage. The study was conducted in the purposively selected Amravati district of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state. Five Panchayat Samities from Amravati district were hand-picked purposively covering ten villages from every Panchayat Samiti.

Thakare (Kawathekar)2, 1Director, Online computer academy, Nagpur, M.S., India, 2Research Scholarand Associate Prof., Dept. of Architecture, K.I.T.S., Ramtek, Dist. Nagpur, M.S.,India. Abstract: Agriculture is a largest economic sector and plays a very significant role in the socio economic development of our country, which is now in crises. The farmers of various states particularly in Maharashtra are in distress due to multiple factors ending in suicide in large scale. Farmer’s suicides in growing numbers throughout the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Punjab is the most crucial problem and calls for the topmost priority in the agenda of rulers & policy makers. The suicidal trend set in 1991 by the farmers of Andhra Pradesh has spread to Maharashtra in 2000-01 and has been continued even today. Vidarbha is observed as the suicide prone/ danger zone of the state. In Vidarbha region more numbers of farmers have committed suicide to overcome the miseries due to various reasons viz. nonproduction of crops, bad debts, drought, lack of markets, marketing and irrigation facilities exploitation by private money lenders and other social and family causes arising out of the combination of various factors, but no one particular reason could be attributed to this saddest event of the mankind in the Indian history. The Rural Development agencies are coming in picture for the post suicidal help within their limits.

The Portuguese, Dutch, French and the English came to India to promote trade and commerce. The English who established the East-India Co. in 1600, gradually consolidated their hold in different parts of India. They had very capable men like Sir. Thomas Roe, Colonel Close, General Smith, Elphinstone, Grant Duff etc . The English shrewdly exploited the disunity among the Indian rulers. They were very diplomatic in their approach. Due to their far sighted policies, the English were able to expand and consolidate their rule in Maharashtra. 2 The Company’s government had trapped most of the Maratha rulers in Subsidiary Alliances and fought three important wars with Marathas over a period of 43 years (1775 -1818). 1.2 POLITICAL CONDITIONS BEFORE THE BRITISH CONQUEST : The Company’s Directors sent Lord Wellesley as the Governor- General of the Company’s territories in India, in 1798.

  • Chapter 1: Socio-Economic Profile of Maharashtra
    Chapter 1: Socio-Economic Profile of Maharashtra Introduction It is believed that the words Marathi and Maharashtra originated from “Maharathi”- meaning "the great charioteer." Maharathis denoted a strong "fighting force" in the ancient Maratha history. Although the region is believed to have gained prominence as early as in 90 A.D., the first inscription of Maharashtra appeared way back in the seventh century. In the sixteenth century, regional Muslim powers ruled the Deccan region, which basically served the Mughal Empire. Shivaji Bhosle, born in 1627, was the founder of the Maratha Empire and engaged in a lifelong struggle against the Mughals to establish supremacy of the Maratha kingdom. By 1680, the year of his death, nearly the entire Deccan region belonged to the Marathas. In 1800s, Pune city, the capital of Marathas, was considered to be one of the best built native towns in India. The first step towards establishing a municipal government in this city was taken in 1856, when the Pune Municipality came into existence under the Act of 1850. At the time of the Indian Independence in 1947, western Maharashtra and present-day Gujarat were joined as Bombay state. The eastern districts were then a part of the State of Hyderabad, but were later added to Bombay in 1956. The present state of Maharashtra was formed in 1960 when the Marathi and Gujarati linguistic areas of former Bombay state were separated. Bombay city, presently known as Mumbai, became the capital of the new state. In Maharashtra one can find the relics of about 175 forts, which are linked to the great Maratha emperor Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who is believed to have either built or fortified them.
