General Characteristics of the District Pali is one of the 33 districts of Rajasthan. Before the formation of Rajasthan this district was a part of Jodhpur State. The district takes its name from the town of Pali which is also headquarter of the district administration. This district has its old age historical presence; In Vedic age Maharashi Javali stayed in this area, for meditation and interpretation of Vedas. As a part of ancient Arbuda Provinces, this area was known as Ball-Desh. During the Kushana Age, King Kanishka had conquered Rohat & Jaitaren area, part of today’s Pali District, in 120 AD. The chalukya king Harshvardhan also conquered Bhinmal and other most of the parts of present Rajasthan. As a part of adjoining Mewar region where Rajputs were the ruler, still Pali was ruled by the Brahmins, with the patronage of neighboring Rajput rulers, remained peaceful and progressive.. 1.1 Location & Geographical Area. The geological set up of the district is presented by different sedimentary metamorphic and igneous rocks. The rock out crops and exposed mostly in the eastern parts of the district and occupy nearly 16 % the area. The rocks in the north eastern parts are of Pre- Aravali group with highly banded granite gneisses of pink and grayish white in color but coarse in texture, the central and southern parts of the district are of Aravali group with variegated states, phyllited schists, argillaceous, sandstones, sandquartszites near the eastern border of the district are Delhi group of rocks with quartz, mica, phyllite and marble (impure). The south eastern parts of the district have Erinpura ricks with granite, which is generally medium to coarse grained in texture, and good deposited of Felspar south of Pali has a few outcrops of Jalore granite generally pink in coluor, Malani Rhuolites (volcanic) cover a small area south-west of Pali and at places contain quarts and feldspar, Limestone, Dolomites and Sandstone are also available from the Trans-Aravali Vindhya rocks. The rocks of the Marwar Super Group occur near Sojat and certain Limestone. The deposits recent to sub recent age consist of dune and sand alluvium. The thickness of alluvium cover increases from east or west. 5 1.2 Topography The great Aravali Hills link Pali district with Ajmer, Rajasamand, Udaipur and Sirohi Districts. Famous River Luni and its tributaries flow through pali district. The largest dams of this area Jawai Dam and Saradar Samand Dam are also located in the district. The city is situated at 212 meters above the sea level. Climatic conditions of the Pali district are some different than the other Western Rajasthan. e average maximum temperature recorded as 3 . C a d mi imum average temperature is C; ereas t e maximum temperature recorded as . C a d mi imum as 1. C duri g last year, average rainfall of the district was 447.4 mm. 6 1.3 Availability of Minerals GEOLOGY AND MINERALS: Pali district is one of the few districts of Rajasthan possessing wide variety of both metallic and non-metallic minerals. However, commercial exploitation for metallic mineral has given encouraging results. Among non-metallic minerals, limestone, magnesite, calcite, quartz, feldspar, china clay, ball clay asbestos etc. are the mineral which being exploited for last so many years. Cement grade limestone of Ras belt has attracted many entrepreneurs for setting up of major cement plants recent discoveries in the district include blockable granite, wollastonite, scheelite, wolframite and indication of gold mineralization. A brief description of each occurrence is given below. SOURCE:- DEPT. OF MINES & GEOLOGY MAJOR & MINOR MINERALS: Churu District is poorest in mineral resources. However, lime stone & marble and masonry stone are important mineral products of the district. MAJOR MINERALS The production of major and minor minerals in the district during 2016-17 was a given in the table below. Table Of Production Of Major Minerals In Mt. S.

Lime Stone (Burning) - Sojat, Jaitaran . 1.4 Forests: The forest are scattered over a large area, mostly in hills and ridges. Those in plains are grass birds or tree savants. The forests are generally open and poorly stocked except in forest blocks of Desuri range and sadri range. The total forest area under the district is 963.58 Sq. KMs out of that 619.45 Sq. KMs comes under the supervision of Dy. Chief Wild Life Warden, Udaipur. Total 817.37 Sq. KMs of the forest area under reserve category and 143.70 Sq. KMs are under the protected category and remaining 2.51Sq. KMs are unclass. Forest area of the district is 7.77% of the total area of the district. The forest resources are very meager. The requirements of the local people in respect of timber, firewood and other forest produce have been increasing at a faster rate than the formation of the new forest. The damage done by illegal cutting of the forest is unstoppable. 8 1.5 Agro Resources: 12. Fort Dhamli Major Crops: The main Rabi Crops are wheat, Barley, Gram and Raya while Jawar, Maize, Bazra, Moong, Til (Sesamum), Guar and Cotton are the main Kharif crops. Farmers are progressive and a large number of them are adopting mechanized method of farming. Though most of the small and marginal farmers are use bullocks for farming. There is a good demand for tractors improved agriculture implements, improved/high yielding variety of seeds micro nutrients, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, Herbicides & weedicides. 1.6 Tourism: 1.6.1 Hotels LUXURY HOTELS: 1.

In treeta yug this town was called “PARA-NAGAR” and in Dwaper yug this town was known “PEPAWATI” People here were mainly the Paliwal Brahman‟s and all businessmen. This town was very rich in culture. But again and again the town was destroyed and even the old fort. Once there was also a great wall around the city. Today we neither see the fort nor the wall. But we still have the name of the gates like suraj pole, mela ka darwaja, pani ka darwaja, jalori darwaja, kariya darwaja are important with the time the fort was destroyed. But still one can see the main entrance of the fort near juni dhan mandi. At the time also Pali had a democratic system. They had a panchayat and the head of panchayat used to solve the problems of the town. Thus Pali finally came under the jurisdiction of British; From then on the area covered by the present Pali district became part of Jodhpur state until Indian independence. 11 . SIGHT SEEING TOURIST There are many tourist places in Pali district which attract local peoples as well as foreigners. People from different cities of India come to Pali to visit Ranakpur, Jawai Dam, Parshuram Mahadev Temple, Jain Aashram etc. Some of the famous tourist places are as follows: 1.

    Characteristics of pegmatoidal granite exposed near Bayalan, Ajmer district, Rajasthan Nilanjan Dasgupta1,∗, Taritwan Pal2, Joydeep Sen1 and Tamoghno Ghosh1 1Department of Geology, Presidency University, 86/1 College Street, Kolkata 700 073, India. 2Department of Geology and Geophysics, IIT Kharagpur, Midnapore, West Bengal, India. ∗e-mail: [email protected] The study involves the characterization of pegmatoidal granite, southeast of Beawar, Ajmer district, Rajasthan. Earlier researchers had described this granite as part of the BGC, basement to the Bhim Group of the Delhi Super Group rocks. However, the present study indicates that it is younger than the rocks of Bhim Group of South Delhi Fold Belt, into which it is intrusive. The intrusion is structurally controlled and the outcrop pattern is phacolithic. The granite had intruded post-D2 deformation of the Delhi orogeny along the axial planes of D2 folds. The intrusion has also resulted in the formation of a contact aureole about the calc gneisses. 1. Introduction host rocks by this emplacement have been studied.

  • Rajputana & Ajmer-Merwara, Vol-XXIV, Rajasthan
    PREFACE CENSUS TAKING, IT HAS RECENTLY BEEN explained by the Census Commissioner for India, should be regarded primarily as a detached collection and presentation of certain facts in tabular form for the use and consultation of the whole country, and, for that matter, the whole world. Conclusions are for ot.hers to draw. It is upon this understanding of their purpose that Tables have been printed in this volume with only the ,barest notes necessary to explain such points as definitions, change of areas, etc. But perhaps the word , barest' is too bare and requires some covering. In the past it has been customary to preface the Tables with many pages of text, devoted to providing some general description of the area concerned and supported by copious Subsidiary Tables and comparisons with data collected in other provinces, countries and states. On this occasion there is no prefatory text, no provision of extraneous comparisons, and Subsidiary Tables have virtually been made part of the Tables themselves. We may agree that the present method of presentation has much to recommend it. Those who seriously study census statistics at least can be presumed to be able to draw their own deductions: they do not need a guide constantly at their side, and indeed may actually resent his well-intentioned efforts. All that they require are t,he bare facts. Yet such people must ever constitute a very small minority. 'Vhat of the others-the vast majority of the public? It is hardly to be expected that they can be lured to Census Tavern by the offer of such coarse fare.

    STUDY ON PLANNING OF WATER RESOURCES OF RAJASTHAN Executive Summary Project Background The State Water Policy of Government of Rajasthan, February 2010, provides for development of its Water resources in a well planned way. All new projects shall be planned based on micro watershed planning basis so as to ensure equity in use of surplus water. It is on this account that the Government of Rajasthan took up study to review and update all River Basin Master Plans for the integrated development and management of all its water resources. In this connection necessary provision of funds were made in EC funded State Partnership Program (SPP) under implementation in Rajasthan State. The earlier comprehensive study on water planning for different river basins in Rajasthan State was carried out by TAHAL-WAPCOS Consultants during year 1994-1998. This study was considered quite old and had much reduced relevance in today’s context. The present study therefore envisages to take-up review and fresh planning of all the water resources of Rajasthan based on updated water resources data and modern techniques now available in this field of study encompassing all necessary provisions made in the new water policy of the State Government. The purpose of this assignment is to prepare a long term plan and policy for development and management of the water resources of the State of Rajasthan, both surface (internal and external) and ground water, on comprehensive and integrated basis. The period of planning envisaged is 2010-2060. Scope of Work 1. Data Collection 2. Analysis of Agroclimatic Zone wise hydrology, temperature over a period of 20 years, find all changes in precipitation, no.

It plays a vital role to achieve the self-sufficiency in each sector of economy. Irrigation plays a crucial role in farming for those areas suffering from irregular pattern of rainfall. Rajasthan is the state of India which usually faces the drought condition as the monsoon gets fall. The farming in this state totally depends on the irrigation. This paper includes the district-wise distribution of cropping intensity and irrigation intensity including the comparison of 2013-2014 with the year 2006- 2007. Key words: Irrigation Intensity, Cropping Intensity, Net Area, Gross Area. RESUMEN La agricultura es una actividad primeria la cual está directa o indirectamente relacionada con otras actividades.

    Pragya Sharma A STUDY OF MATERNITY AND CHILD HEALTH CARE IN A NOMADIC COMMUNITY OF RAJASTHAN KNOWN AS RAIKA Pastoral nomads are those groups whose nomadism is connected with the needs of their herds. They move about with their herds in search of food and shelter. Khanabadosh are herdless and homeless people roaming from place to place and working as food gatherers, musicians, quack surgeons, traders or artisans like blacksmith, basket-makers, bamboo-workers, etc. Semi- nomadic tribes include those who own homes and agricultural land but who wander periodically or during certain seasons of the year following vocations like those of khanabadosh. The Population of Rajasthan is 7,10,41,283. Nearly ninety percent of Rajasthan’s population is Hindu with Muslims making up the largest minority with eight percent of the populations. Jains - the merchant and traders from Rajasthan constitute a significant presence. Scheduled Castes (ST) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) form about seventy percent and twelve percent of the state population respectively. The population of the tribes in Rajasthan is nearly a double of the national average, with original inhabitants Bhils and the Meenas forming the largest group. Lesser known tribes like Sahariyas, Damariyas, Garasias, Lohars still form an important groups. The main nomadic tribes of Rajasthan are Guduliya Lohars, Raika, Nat and Kalbelia. Raika are pastoral nomads and they earn their living by rearing sheep, goat and camel. They are the main pastoral nomads of Rajasthan and the present study is focused on them. Raikas represent the predominant pastoral group of western Rajasthan. Though they are also called Rebari or Dewasi, but ‘Raika’ seems to be the most frequently used terms for these people.
