DOKE Dept. of Geography Mahatma PhuleNutanMahavidyalaya, Mirajgaon Tal- Karjat Dist- Ahmednaar . Abstract: Nearly about 70% of the population of the state as well as nation derives livelihood from agriculture and related activities. Among the size of land its use for production of agriculture produce is most wide and very significant for the substance of humanity. From very early times man has been tilling land which is a stock resource. The land use at any given place and time results from decisions based on the interaction of five groups of factors, environmental, technological, economic, social and political. The following research paper highlights the changes of land under various uses for the proceeding of the Shrigonda Taluka of Ahmednagar District. Discussion for the change of volume in five major categories of the land uses, grossed irrigated area and cropping intensity. Area under forest is 9.47%, showing slight decrease (0.62) and 1.08% area not available for cultivation, area under the fallow land increased.Net son area increased from 1999-2000 to 2009-2010. KEYWORDS- Land use, cropping pattern, irrigation. INTRODUCTION The present study aims at exploration of agriculture in our life. Agriculture is a large activity in India as well as Maharashtra. The term Agriculture is originated from the word Ager Meaning there by a cultivation. But now a day, the concept of taking grains from it is changed and it becomes larger concept. We get food clothes and house from trees and animals. Now, we are doing side business in agriculture along with taking grains such as livestock, fishery, apiculture, to keep silkworm, flowering, horticulture, etc. in short, which agriculture is done with the help of man, water, instruments, and various equipment's to take grains and benefits called modern agriculture.In the world majority of the people have engaged in agriculture It is an activity on which we are living or survive. More than 50% people are directly or indirectly depend on agricultural activity in the world. In our country agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. In India farming is a main business. Today, in India 65% people are depending upon agriculture.Agriculture is most occupation in the rural area. It is a mean of living. Now, agriculture is not only remained for food production but also for business. Now arable land turns under irrigation. Farmers are not using traditional seeds but they are using hybrid seeds, insecticides, chemical etc. farmers are selling their food production not only in district but out of state and country. They are doing modern methods in agriculture. Farmers are taking interest in flowering farming on the basis of money. Agriculture plays a vital role in human life. So researcher has chosen the topic which is closely related with agriculture. That is A geographical study of Land use Pattern in Shrigonda Taluka of Ahmednagar District. Title :LAND USE PATTERN INSHRIGONDA TALUKA OF AHMEDNAGAR DISTRICT Source:Indian Streams Research Journal [2230-7850] ANKUSH S. DOKE yr:2013 vol:3 iss:3 LAND USE PATTERN INSHRIGONDA TALUKA OF AHMEDNAGAR DISTRICT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Presuming vital significance of land use pattern for rural development following objectives have been put forth for the present investigation 1. To describe the land use pattern in the Shrigonda Taluka. 2. To analyze whether land use changes have been taken place in a sustainable way. STUDY AREA: The Shrigonda taluka is situated in the southern part of Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra. Lies between 18°56'north to 18°56' latitudes and 74°23' east to 74°56' East longitudes with a total geographical area is 1605 sq. km. The taluka is bounded on the north by Ahmednagar. On west and south lies Pune district. On east lies Solapur and Beed district. Covered by rivers, Ghod, Bhima Kukadi in west-south side all boundaries are artificial. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: The analysis is confined to years from 1969-70 to 2009-2010. The study involves the data relating to agriculture, so secondary sources are used to get value ratios. Statistical abstracts, socio-economic review, district census, crop reports published by agricultural department etc. Results and Discussion: The land use of Shrigonda taluka is divided in to five categories forest land, area not available for cultivation, other cultivated land excluding fallow land, fallow land and net area sown. General land use pattern in Shrigonda taluka experienced considerable changes during 1967-70 to 2009-2010. The pattern of land use in general and agriculture land use in the particular closed associated with irrigation. There are spatial variations in the general land use pattern in the study region. The land is grouped into five major types of uses, namely 1) forest 2) Area not available for cultivation 3) Other cultivated land excluding fallow land 4) fallow land 5) Net area sown. The relation between irrigation and land use is best comprehended, when the two aspects of net sown area sown more than once are considered. Net sown area directly involves the usurping of the other land use components at times through extended irrigation facilities. An increase in cropping intensity on the other hand is possible only through intensive agriculture. Hence, it is also incumbent up on irrigation, the most fundamental ingredient of net area sown. In the context, it should be mentioned that the benefits are responsive to the diverse irrigation types and dependent upon the extent of seasonal, net area irrigated. Though a detailed analysis of these aspects is necessary in the assessment of these aspects is necessary in the assessment of the benefits of irrigation land use. Table no. 1.

    CHAPTER 7 PROBLEMS OF AGRICULTURE AND AGRO-BASED INDUSTRIES 7.1 Introduction The previous chapter gives details of agro-based industries existed in the Ahmednagar district during the decade 1981-90. Chapter 4 gives d e ta ils of agro-produce of the d is t r ic t . I t is found that, both ag ric u ltu re as well as agro-based industries had no speedy progress in the district during the decade. This chapter emphasises some of the problems of a g ric u ltu re and agro-based industries in Ahmed­ nagar d is t r ic t . 7.2 TalukaMise irrigation sources and imbalance in net irrigated area in the district There are 13 talukas in the Ahmednagar district, some of them were irrig a te d , whereas some were dry. Ir r ig a tio n was unequal in the d is t r ic t during the decade 1981-90. This imbalance in irrigation created imbalance in agricultural development. Water is also the basic need for industrialisa­ tion, but there was scarcity of water even for drinking in Pathardi, Shevgaon, Jamkhed, Parner and Karjat talukas. Agro-industrialisation was very slow in these talukas due to non availability of water supply. Inadequate water supply affects the production of agro-based industries, for exam­ ple, paper mill of Sangamner sugar factory was facing a 241 severe problem of water supply during the year 1986-87, which affected the production of th is m ill.^ There are two types of irrigation. One is well irriga­ tion and the other is surface irrigation.

In 2005, Maharashtra launched an ambitious reform programme with support from the World Bank to establish an independent water regulator and make water user associations mandatory for water delivery in the state. The establishment of the regulator, the first of its kind in the Indian water sector, invited much attention from policy makers and civil society organisations after which several Indian states followed Maharashtra’s footsteps. Celebrated for its ‘independent’ and ‘apolitical’ virtues, this model of regulation was designed to provide answers to inefficiency and political opportunism in the water sector.
