Bibliography 6 1,INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview Agriculture continues to be a key component of our economy. Even as the contribution of agriculture to India’s GDP has dropped to less than 20%, more than half of India’s population – nearly three-fourths of India’s rural population – still remains engaged in this sector. Agriculture sector alone contributes 14.2% to the GDP. We have achieved record foodgrain production for 2010-11.Which stands at highest level of 235.88 million tonnes showing growth of 8.14% over the production level of 2009-10. Although agriculture sector still needs to be on boom if the country like India wants to feed its increasing population. To achieve high yield in food crops, Indian growers need to be aware about the latest development in this sector. Effective and judicious use of pesticides, improved seed varieties and other inputs is good mean to achieve high production with quality produce. Population in India is increasing @ 2% per annum. If the production of paddy,wheat and sugarcane and other crops does not increase there is a possibility that India might have to import these crops like it did in case of wheat in the year 2006 to meet the demands of its ever growing population. Due to increasing regular pest attack is causing uneconomical for farmers to cultivate crops. The losses caused by different pests and monitory losses incurred as a result of loss is furnished below :- Loss caused (in Pests Monitory loss in crores (Rs.) percentage) Insects 20 1200 Storage Pests 7 420 Diseases 26 1560 Weeds 33 1980 Rodents 6 360 Miscellaneous 8 480 Total 100 6000 7 Source : Pesticide Information April - June, 1995. To control this maximum loss by insects and to make cultivation economical for farmer application of insecticides is only answer which can help them in increasing yield by 25% to 30%. 1.2 Problem Identification The pesticides industries in India going through rapid changes and facing huge challenges in the market as there is the presence of other companies or other competitors which includes local players, national players and international players(companies).There is neck to neck fight and a cut throat competition in pesticides and seed market, so this study will give benefit Dhanuka Agritech Limited to knowing the status of competition in districts of CHHATTISGARH,the nearest competitors in the area, the expectation of retailer and farmer, the use of pesticides and the areas where company can improve sale of Targa super.

History The city of Faizabad originally known as Fyzabad, is situated in Eastern India, in Uttar Pradesh State, on the bank of River Saryu, about 130 k.m. east of Lucknow. The city was founded by Ali Vardi Khan, nawab of Bengal (1676-1756) in 1730. The foundation of Faizabad was laid by Saadat Khan, the second Nawab of Awadh. His successor Shuja-ud-daula made it the capital of Awadh. Faizabad as a township, developed about 220 years ago. Safdar Jang, the second nawab of Avadh (1739-54), made it as his military headquarters. His successor Suja-ud-daula built a fort here. It was known as Chhota Calcutta, now the fort has ruined. He built the Chowk in 1765 and subsequently built the Anguribagh and Motibagh to the south of Faizabad and Asafbagh and Bulandbagh to the west of the city. During the reign of Shuja-ud-daula, Faizabad attained such a prosperity which it never saw again. The Nawabs graced Faziabad with several beautiful buildings, notable among them are the Gulab Bari, Moti Mahal and the tomb of Bahu Begum. Gulab Bari is a beautiful building of fine architecture, standing in a garden surrounded by a wall, approachable through two large gateways. These buildings are particularly interesting for their assimilative architectural styles. Shuja-ud-daula's wife was the well known Bahu Begum, who married the Nawab in 1743 and continued to reside in Faizabad, her residence being the Moti- Mahal. Close by at Jawaharbagh lies her Maqbara, where she was buried after her death in 1816. It is considered to be one of the finest buildings of its kind in Avadh, which was built at the cost of three lakh rupees by her chief advisor Darab Ali Khan.

Sometimes Ayodhya, sometimes Saket, sometimes Visakha and sometimes Vinita was also called. Similarly, Ayodhya was called Awadh during the time of Mughal Emperor Akbar in the second half of the medieval period But when the Nawabs arrived in Awadh, first of all, a raw fort was built on the banks of Saryu river near Ayodhya with soil, wood etc Which is named as "Bangla." The entire area near this Bangla later became famous as the city of "Faizabad." and besides being the capital of Awadh, it was also the center of political activities of the whole of Awadh.The influence of Mughal architecture on the architecture of Nawab Yugin Faizabad clearly also, the use of Jaunpur style can be seen.
