More than 300 villages are currently inundated by flood waters and 20,000 people were evacuated to prevent further deaths. The infrastructure is heavily affected, some areas are only accessible by helicopters, villages are cut off from electricity and the number of people affected by water-borne disease is increasing. An estimated 150,000 people are affected by the floods having their houses damaged and crops destroyed. India Air Force helicopters are dropping food, medicines and water packets in the flood-hit villages of Khammam district. In addition, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has taken up rescue operations in 40 flood ravaged villages and has evacuated villagers to approximately 100 camps. Despite the relief support provided by the state Government there are gaps which need to be filled to ensure families are supported. ACT member, the United Evangelical Lutheran Church of India (UELCI) and Churches Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA) have deployed staff to the affected areas to carry out a rapid needs assessment and to initiate emergency response actions. CASA is planning to provide food and non-food items to a total of 3,000 families in the districts of Khammam and West Godavari. UELCI is targeting the same area and will also provide assistance to families living in East Godovari. UELCI will support 6,410 families in terms of food and non-food items and 1,000 households will receive shelter repair assistance. Both, CASA and UELCI will carry out a detailed needs assessment which will be used to fine-tune the project and to formulate a full appeal. The durations of the relief projects are 45 days for CASA and 2 month for UELCI. Prel.

Appeal IND133: Andhra Pradesh Flood 3 I. NARRATIVE SUMMARY DETAILS OF THE EMERGENCY Incessant rains across northern Andhra Pradesh have caused rivers to overflow inundating low-lying areas. The Godavari River is flowing well above the danger level in the northern Telangana districts of Andhra Pradesh, namely Adilabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, Khammam and East and West Godavari. Currently more than 300 villages in 12 mandals in Bhadrachalam and Palvancha divisions are still inundated by flood waters. More than 20,000 people from marooned areas have been evacuated to 100 relief camps opened by the state authorities. The heavy rains and floods have so far claimed 22 lives, disrupted road transport and damaged over thousands of acres of standing crops in six districts according to official reports. As at 22 July 300 flood affected villages were without electricity for the third consecutive day. There are also rising health concerns as there has been an increase in the cases of malaria in some of the flood affected areas. In East and West Godavari hundreds of villages were cut-off from the rest of the state. District administration has evacuated people from many low-lying villages and arranged sand bags to prevent further flooding. According to Indian Meteorological Department, Andhra Pradesh (AP) has received 40% excess rainfall so far this monsoon season. Irrigation projects on river Godavari have been inundated. Hundreds of villages were marooned in Khammam and West and East Godavari districts due to the incessant rain and flooding of rivers. The meteorological centre based in Hyderabad has warned of heavier rains in ten districts of Andhra Pradesh, especially in Telangana and coastal Andhra Pradesh, over the next few days. The State is experiencing unabated rains for almost two weeks now and the villages situated at coastal region have borne the brunt. The floods in the districts have seriously affected over 150,000 people. Villagers are using makeshift rafts to move around, while schools were shut and fishermen were asked not to venture out to fish in the rivers. Many villages in the north Telangana region are marooned. 5,204 houses have been damaged, and electricity supplies to 804 villages was disrupted and later restored in 480 villages. The heavy rain and floods have damaged over 148,236 hectares of standing crops and 294 tanks were breached. Some the major crops in the region such as rice, soybean and cotton those are at nursery stage has damaged to the large extent. The heavy rainfall has not only caused damage to the houses and infrastructure but has devastated people’s livelihood and the normal everyday lives of the people. The economically disadvantaged and most vulnerable have suffered the most from the heavy rains and destruction of agriculture. Many of the houses have been seriously damaged in the rains and resulting floods. (Source of the above mentioned information: Field Staff of UELCI & CASA + Media: NDTV, The Hindu & the pioneer) ACTIONS TO DATE AND EMERGENCY NEEDS The State government has deployed three Indian Air Force helicopters to drop food, medicines and water packets in the flood-hit villages of Khammam district.

Rogers Myron Weiner a ........ .................. ..... .......... C/77-5 INTERNAL MIGRATION POLICIES IN AN INDIAN STATE: A CASE STUDY OF THE MULKI RULES IN HYDERABAD AND ANDHRA K.V. Narayana Rao Migration and Development Study Group Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1977 Preface by Myron Weiner This study by Dr. K.V. Narayana Rao, a political scientist and Deputy Director of the National Institute of Community Development in Hyderabad who has specialized in the study of Andhra Pradesh politics, examines one of the earliest and most enduring attempts by a state government in India to influence the patterns of internal migration. The policy of intervention began in 1868 when the traditional ruler of Hyderabad State initiated steps to ensure that local people (or as they are called in Urdu, mulkis) would be given preferences in employment in the administrative services, a policy that continues, in a more complex form, to the present day. A high rate of population growth for the past two decades, a rapid expansion in education, and a low rate of industrial growth have combined to create a major problem of scarce employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh as in most of India and, indeed, in many countries in the third world. It is not surprising therefore that there should be political pressures for controlling the labor market by those social classes in the urban areas that are best equipped to exercise political power.

  • Polavaram: a Disaster in the Making and a Coastal Andhra Sin
    Polavaram: A Disaster in the Making and a Coastal Andhra Sin By Gautam Pingle - HYDERABAD Published: 10th February 2014 09:36 AM http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra_pradesh/Polavaram-A-Disaster- in-the-Making--a-Coastal-Andhra- Sin/2014/02/10/article2048570.ece#.UvhTJfuHPgE THE AP State Reorganisation Bill2013, as approved by the Union cabinet on February 7, has given the Polavaram irrigation project an orange (not green) light. It gives 397 inundation villages in Bhadrachalam and Palvancha divisions in Khammam district to Seemandhra. It also says the future Telangana government is “deemed to consent” to Polavaram _ a measure the Supreme Court will strike down. Polavaram is supposed to irrigate huge acreage, stabilise the Godavari Delta for the second and third crops and divert Godavari water to further stabilise the Krishna Delta for three crops. It also hopes to provide drinking and irrigation water to north coastal Andhra. The reservoir will inundate 397 tribal villages and flood thousands of acres of valuable forest land. Nearly 2.5 lakh tribal people will be displaced from their homes in Bhadrachalam alone. It will create a problem five times bigger than the Narmada Sagar dam where only 60,000 tribal people were displaced. Chhattisgarh and Odisha have moved the Supreme Court against the project and tribal displacement. The Union ministry of environment and forests, on February 8, 2011, directed the state not to start construction and to reduce the dam’s height to minimise inundation. But the Seemandhra’s contention is that reducing the height of the dam will prevent diversion of Godavari water to the Krishna Delta.

  • Pattern of Development in India - a Study of Andhra Pradesh
    Pattern of Development in India - A Study of Andhra Pradesh SER Division Planning Commission Government of India Main Findings of the Study Andhra Pradesh was formed on 1st November 1956. It comprises of Coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana regions. Each region has its own distinct characteristics. It is the fifth largest state in terms of the area in our country. There is significant improvement in literacy level of the rural population during 1990's. But the employment opportunities have not improved. As a result, there is huge stock of educated unemployed constituting both male and female in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh. Although, the state has achieved remarkable progress in establishing schools, Junior Colleges and Degree colleges during 1980-81 and 2000-01, most of them were in private sector. The number of high schools increased from 4106 to 10,359, Junior Colleges 398 to 2449, Degree Colleges 450 to 1157 during the same time. There is marketisation of education in Andhra Pradesh in recent years. Only the elite class children could reap the benefits of private education. 113 The economy of the state is basically agrarian in character. The percentage of irrigated area is very low i.e., below 40 percent. The plan allocations by the state Government for irrigation had been declining from plan to plan. Though the state is well endowed with natural resources and minerals, it is lagging behind other states in the country with regard to per capital income, literacy level and other parameters. There is no significant improvement in the number of hospitals/ dispensaries available in the state during 1980-81 and 2000-01.

The main pomegranate producing areas are distributed between 300 and 950 m above mean sea level in hot arid and semi-arid regions having tropical and subtropical climate. Interestingly, the major production of pomegranate in India is from Deccan Plateau, especially from Maharashtra followed by Karnataka. The agro-climatic condition of Deccan Plateau is congenial for staggering of pomegranate production throughout the year. Maharashtra contributes about 84% in area and 75% in production of pomegranate in Deccan Plateau. Mainly three flowering seasons viz. winter (January-February flowering), rainy season (June-July flowering) and autumn season (September-October flowering) are promoted for fruit production in this plateau. In the present paper, information pertaining to Deccan Plateau and its climatic and soil conditions and existing cultivation practices of pomegranate has been envisaged. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: climatic conditions of Deccan

Ramachandraiah and Dr A. Venkateswarlu has been taken up in the context of large scale acquisition of agricultural lands for Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and other projects which has become an issue of serious contestation in recent years. The study is very timely as land administration and land rights of vulnerable groups of people have become major issues of public concern in recent years. The authors have made a sincere attempt to analyse the land laws and administration, assignment of lands, land acquisition, resettlement & rehabilitation policies etc., in Andhra Pradesh. They have examined two case studies - Kakinada SEZ and Polavaram project - to examine the issues of forced land acquisition and resistance. At the outset, it should be noted that the state of Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states with effect from 2 June 2014. This study was taken up before bifurcation.

  • Growth Rate of Chilli Production in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh
    International Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Studies Volume 2, Issue 11, November 2015, PP 1-5 ISSN 2394-6288 (Print) & ISSN 2394-6296 (Online) Growth Rate of Chilli Production in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh 1Dr. L.K.Velayutham, 2Dr. K. Damodaran 1Asst Professor, Dept of Agricultural Economics, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu 2Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, Annamalai University, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu ABSTRACT The present study has analysed the growth rate of chilli production in Guntur district of Andra Pradesh. In Guntur district, growth rates of area, production and productivity has increased due to the effective extension work. But, in Andhra Pradesh, decreasing trend is seen growth rate of area whereas production and productivity had been positive. The cost of manure and labour is high in the chilli production and the net return from the crop is reasonable. Manure is the major input that involves more cost. Similarly, hiring labour is also costly and difficult to find agricultural labours. The input-output ration is reasonable wherein more concentration and research can increase the level of chilli production at high level. Thus, the government must come forward to concentrate more on chilli production through research and development, which has more scope for export earnings. Keywords: cost, return, yield, labour, growth rate INTRODUCTION Chilli is produced throughout India, making our country the most dominating player in the world market. The varieties of chilli produced by India are Sannam, LC 334, Byadgi, Wonder Hot and Jwala. It is cultivated in all the states and union territories of the country.
