  • Forestry Planning in Haryana, Particularly in Shiwaliks and the Aravalis
    One of the important duties of the executive staff of Haryana Forest Department is protection of Reserved Forests, Protected Forests, Unclassed Forests, Wild Life sanctuaries, National Parks and areas notified under Section 4 & Section 5 of Punjab Land Preservation Act, 1900. The offenders, encroachers, graziers and illicit fellers etc. are issued damage reports and asked to pay compensation + the price of the forest produce. Failure to pay compensation plus the price of the forest produce entails prosecution of the offenders in the Environment Courts at Hisar and Faridabad. There are nine Wild life Sanctuaries and two National parks namely Kalesar National Park and Sultanpur National Park. Hunting is totally prohibited in the state. In all the Wildlife sanctuaries/National Parks in the State of Haryana and elsewhere in the entire country, no felling of trees is permissible, even of dead and dry trees. Thus no human activities/interference is permitted in any Wildlife Sanctuary/National Park. Keeping in view these concerns it is important that conservation of water resources and access of water to the people is ensured. Also there is no mention of tackling the problem of water -logging in the State of Haryana either in the act or under any rules made by the government Since the forests and the tree cover helps in recharge of ground water, this aspect needs to be given a fair trial in the perspective planning. As far as the surface water is concerned the supplies of utilizable surface water are at about 35% of the total available run-off. So it is necessary to augment the available resources to the maximum possible extent.

  • District Survey Report for Sustainable Sand Mining Distt. Yamuna Nagar
    DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE SAND MINING DISTT. YAMUNA NAGAR The Boulder, Gravel and Sand are one of the most important construction materials. These minerals are found deposited in river bed as well as adjoining areas. These aggregates of raw materials are used in the highest volume on earth after water. Therefore, it is the need of hour that mining of these aggregates should be carried out in a scientific and environment friendly manner. In an endeavour to achieve the same, District Survey Report, apropos “the Sustainable Sand Mining Guidelines” is being prepared to identify the areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structural and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. 1. Introduction:- Minor Mineral Deposits: 1.1 Yamunanagar district of Haryana is located in north-eastern part of Haryana State and lies between 29° 55' to 30° 31 North latitudes and 77° 00' to 77° 35' East longitudes. The total area is 1756 square kilometers, in which there are 655 villages, 10 towns, 4 tehsils and 2 sub-tehsils. Large part of the district of Yamunanagar is situated in the Shiwalik foothills. The area of Yamuna Nagar district is bounded by the state of Himachal Pradesh in the north, by the state of Uttar Pradesh in the east, in west by Ambala district and south by Karnal and Kurukshetra Districts. 1.2 The district has a sub-tropical continental monsoon climate where we find seasonal rhythm, hot summer, cool winter, unreliable rainfall and immense variation in temperature.

The damage caused by disaster is immeasurable and varies with the geographical location, and type of earth surface/degree of vulnerability. This influence is the mental, socio-economic-political and cultural state of affected area. Disaster may cause a serious destruction of functioning of society causing widespread human, material or environmental losses which executed the ability of affected society to cope using its own resources. Flood is one of the major and natural disaster that can affect millions of people, human habitations and has potential to destruct flora and fauna. The district administration is bestowed with the nodal responsibility of implementing a major portion of alldisaster management activities. The increasingly shifting paradigm from a reactive response orientation to a proactive prevention mechanism has put the pressure to build a fool-proof system, including, within its ambit, the components of the prevention, mitigation, rescue, relief and rehabilitation. Flood Control Order of today marks a shift from a mereresponse-based approach to a more comprehensive preparedness, response and recovery in order to negate or minimize the effects of severe forms of hazards by preparing battle. Keeping in view the nodal role of the District Administration in Disaster Management, a preparation of Flood Control Order is imperative.

Risk Management is a fundamental facility geared to the evolution of schemes for reducing but not necessarily eliminating.. For flooding events, there is a need to calculate the probability or likelihood that an extreme event will occur and to establish and estimate the social, economic and environmental implications should the event occur under existing conditions. Flood-prone areas of the district have been identified. A participatory process has been outlined, leading to the development of an acceptable level of risk. Measures can be evaluated and implemented to meet this level. Floods are the most common and widespread of all natural disaster. India is one of the highly flood prone countries in the world. Around 40 millions hectare land is flood prone in the India as per the report of National Flood commission. Floods cause damage to houses industries, public utilities and properties resulting in huge economic losses, apart from loss of lives. Though it is not possible to control the flood disaster totally, by adopting suitable structural and non structural measure, the flood damages can be minimized.

  • Ijmie Issn: 2249-0558
    June IJMIE Volume 2, Issue 6 ISSN: 2249-0558 2012 ___________________________________________________________ Mapping the Agricultural Geography: A District Wise Pattern in the South-Eastern Part of the Punjab Province in Colonial India Dr. Mahender Singh* __________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT: The South-Eastern part of the Punjab was somewhat backward during 1858-1947. This sub- region was also located away from the perennial rivers Punjab and the river Jamuna‘s course was along the eastern boundary of the state. The non-perennial river Ghaggar, which passed through the northern parts of this area, caused considerable yearly damage to agriculture. Rainfall was low and erratic, and in the peak period, July to September, there were often early local and wide spread floods. The soil was sandy and light in texture. Irrigation through wells was extremely limited. The paper brought out some important points into light also. A district wise pattern in this region was varied and Karnal district was so fortunate in agricultural pursuits. Hisar and Gurgaon districts were remained backward; the cultivated area was not increased; the cropping pattern was based on low value food cum fodder crops; irrigation was limited and success rate of maturity of crops was rather low as compared to the remaining area of this sub-region. When compared to the other parts of the Punjab province; the picture was depressive. Therefore, agriculture in the south- east Punjab was erratic, lopsided, uneven, unpredictable, and had no definite pattern because of the physical features and British agrarian policy. * Assistant Professor in History, Rayat College of Law, Railmajra, SBS Nagar.
