The tourists both foreign and domestic all contribute to the development of economy of the area provide employment to the people and afford opportunities to them2. DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM IN KASHMIR The international tourist traffic has increased incredible over the years, particularly after the world war second. India has contributed in lot to international tourism. After independence the country adopted a policy of development through planning, in 1952, when the first year plan was formulated. India has so many tourist attraction places like Delhi, Chennai, Shimla, Goa and Kashmir. Kashmir among them is one of the most beautiful tourist attraction places. Kashmir, the northern part of the state is known as the ‘paradise on earth’, and the ‘Switzerland of the east’. It is bounded by two mountain ranges, with Its scenic splendor, meandering streams, serene lakes, gushing brooks, snow- clad mountains and green pastures have all along attracted tourists from all over the world. ANCIENT PERIOD From the ancient times, the state has long traditions of tourism. It was who king Ashoka who conquered Kashmir in about 250 B.C.E. His own conversion from Hinduism to Buddhism laid the Kashmir’s gateway open for Chinese, and various other travelers who wanted to quench the thrust of Buddhist and Sanskrit knowledge. The first Chinese traveler to enter Kashmir was probably Chemong who entered the valley shortly after 404 C. E. Another Chinese traveler Fa-hein left for India along with 25 Buddhist monks in 420 C. E. Another great Chinese traveler Hiuen Tsang’s visited India in 631 C. E. was corroborated with this historical event. Other great Chinese scholars who visited Kashmir are Yuan Chwang and Ou-kong. This advent of foreign students and scholars influenced the art and culture of the Kashmiri’s under the rule of king Lalitaditya. Kashmir became the synagogue of foreign scholars and erudite, and many cultural mission from other countries were received with respect3. MEDIEVAL PERIOD Tourism in the Kashmir traversed its course from the time of Mughal monarchy till its present day of turmoil. Mughal kings and princes laid the beautiful gardens, utilized springs, erected forests, enriched the land with a variety of vegetation and flowers, planted tempting fruit trees, revolutionized handicrafts and skills and left behind them, the dignity of Mughal architecture in their monuments. Kashmir is an attraction to be cherished, as a land to be explored, and a subject to be written about, Available online at www.lsrj.in 2 KASHMIR TOURISM – A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE became famous in the world since Bernier, told the world Cachemire (Kashmir), the paradise of the Indies. François Bernier, the French Physician at the court of Aurangzeb, the first European to enter the valley of Kashmir in 1665 says. “it is not without reason that Mughals called it the Terrestrial Paradise of the India, that Akbar tried so hard to conquer and that his son Jahangir fell so much in love with it”4 In the medieval period, the travel period was widened when diplomats from overseas kingdom started to pour into the state. Mughal emperors initially developed it as a “summer health resort.” Akbar himself visited the valley in 1589, and it was on his directions that boats in the Dal lake were transformed into residential one. Mughal kings showed lot of interest towards the valley. After Akbar, Jahangir spent lot of time in the Kashmir, and says that “Agar Firdous bar rue Zamin ast, Hamin ast- o,Hamin ast-o-Hamin ast”.

THREE HITHERTO UNREPORTED MACRO-FUNGI FROM KASHMIR HIMALAYA SHAUKET AHMED PALA*, ABDUL HAMID WANI, ROUF HAMZA BODA AND RIYAZ AHMED MIR Section of Mycology and Plant Pathology, Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, Hazratbal-190006. *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Himalayan state, Jammu and Kashmir due to its climate ranging from tropical deciduous forests to temperate and coniferous forests provides congenial habitat for the growth of diverse macro fungal species which in turn gives it the status of ‘hub’ of macro-fungal species. The macro fungal species richness of the state is directly related to its expansive forest communities and diverse weather patterns, but all the regions of the state have not been extensively surveyed till now. In this backdrop, a systematic survey for exploration and inventorization of macro fungal species of Western Kashmir Himalaya was undertaken during the year 2009 and 2010, which in turn resulted identification of the three species viz., Thelephora caryophyllea (Schaeff.) Pers., Coltricia cinnamomea (Pers.) Murr., and Guepinia helvelloides Fr. as new reports from the Kashmir. These species were identified on the basis of macro and microscopic characters and also the aid of taxonomic keys, field manuals, mushroom herbaria and help from expert taxonomists in the related field was taken into account. Introduction et al., 2010). The present communication describes the general distribution, brief morphological description, Since the dawn of civilizations, mushrooms have macro and microscopic details and edibility of three been fascinating man due to their unusual characters like newly reported species of macro-fungi from Kashmir sudden appearance in isolated places in groups, rings and Himalaya.

  • 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.
