A Committee consisting of the Executive Editor and Secretary of the District Gazetteers (Revision) Editorial Board, the Superintendent of Census Operations, Maharashtra, and the Director, Bureau of Economics and Statistics, Maharashtra, was appointed to determine the contents and review the drafts of each volume. This is one of the twenty-five volumes compiled in the Maharashtra Census Office an d published under that scheme. District Handbooks had been published from the 1951 Census data also. As in the past, the present volume contains a set of 1961 Census Tables for th e district and also presents basic demographic and economic information for each village separately. The following improve­ ments have, however, been made in the 1961 series;- (i) The addition of a comprehensive note introducing the district; (ii) The four-coloured map of the district; (iii) Taluka maps showing the location of each village in the district supplemented by alphabetical lists of villages: (iv) Supplementary information showing basic amenities available for each village; and (v) Addition of Part III containing 33 Tables on other official statistics. These new features will make the volume a valuable reference for the Central and State Governments, District Administrators, departments engaged in planning and development work, legislators, priVate trade and business. Need for such material is far greater today as the functions of planning and implementation of development schemes have now percolated to district, taluka and village levels. Marathi version of this volume is also being issued separately. Part I of the volume presents villagewise statistics, Part II contains the 1961 Census Tables prepared for the district and Part III contains official statistics on Climate, Rainfall, Agri­ culture, Industry, Education, Health and a few other aspects. An explanatory note is added at the beginning of each part to describe the layout of the Tables and the terms or concepts used. Parts I and II are based entirely on the data collected at the 1961 Census. Part III is based on the material furnished by the District Statistical Officer and the officers of the depart-" ments concerned. Villagewise populations shown in Part I are valid for Sunrise of 1st March 1961 and are not adjusted for seasonal migration to or from other areas. The introductory note at the beginning of the volume describes the present administrative set-up and some of the socio-economic facets of life in the district. It will illustrate how the statistics presented in the volume could be used for economic accounting or as controls of plan achievements in the district. F,or this note, we have drawn heavily on the District Gazetteers iv PREFACE Survey and Settlement Reports, Annual Administration Reports and other Governmen 11 publications. Some Heads of Departments also supplied the latest available material for the volume. Weare indebted to them all. Any views expressed in the introductory note or elsewhere in the volume are personal and the Government is not responsible for them. In the Census Office, everyone has done something for this stupendous task of compila­ tion and collation of statistics, preparation of notes and reading of proofs. I should specially mention Shri N. Y. Gore, Tabulation Officer, for his sincere and thorough work on compilation and proof reading of Part I, Shri G. S. Gokarn, Tabulation Officer, for his painstaking work on MSS and proofs of Parts II and III, Shri S. K. Deshpande, Shri D. G. Pansare and Shri R. E.Chowdhary for assistance in preparing the introductory note, Shri S. Y. Pradhan and Shri B. M. N agarkar, Draughtsmen, for Maps, Charts and Diagrams. Shri S. G.

The class which was digitized in LULC mapping was found that the agricultural land is 80%, land without scrub covers 7.9%, forest land 0.48%. Water bodies such as river 0.5, land 0.92%, tank, lake, and pond is 0.43%, reservoir 8.5% and built up (settlement) is 1.29 % of the total geographical area. Keywords: Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System, LULC mapping 1.

Firstly, to clarify property rights, by ensuring that land records maintained by the State mirror the reality on the ground. A discordance between the two, i.e., records and reality, implies that it is dicult to ascertain and assert rights over land. Secondly, land record modernisation aims to reduce the costs involved for the citizen to access and correct records easily in order to ensure that the records are updated in a timely manner. This report aims to map, on a pilot basis, the progress of the DILRMP, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, in the State of Maharashtra.

  • Land Movements in India Farmers Struggle Against Land Grab in PUNE DISTRICT
    Land Movements in India an online resource for land rights activists Farmers Struggle against Land Grab in PUNE DISTRICT OCT 27 Posted by jansatyagraha In Pune district, the government has approved 54 SEZs for private sector industries such as Syntel International, Serum Institute, Mahindra Realty, Bharat Forge, City Parks, InfoTech Parks, Raheja Coroporation, Videocon and Xansa India. All SEZs are located around Pune, in areas like Pune Nashik National Highway, Pune-Bangalore National Highway, Pune Hyderabad National Highway and Pune Mumbai Highway. The MIDC has identified 7,500 hectares of agricultural land for procurement in the name of SEZ creation in Pune. Opposition to SEZs has become apparent in many areas, including Karla near Lonavala, Khed- Rajgurunagar, Wagholi at Pune-Aurangabd highway and Karegaon near the Ranjangaon MIDC. It is particularly strong in the Khed taluka district of Pune, where farmers from Gulani, Wafgaon, Wakalwadi, Warude, Gadakwadi, Chaudharwadi, Chinchbaigaon, Jaulake Budruk, Jarewadi, Kanesar, Pur, Gosasi, Nimgaon, Retwadi, Jaulake Khurd, Dhore Bhamburwadi and Pabal face loss of their only source of livelihood from the creation of the Bharat Forge SEZ. These communities, primarily Maratha, OBC and adivasi, are chiefly engaged in agricultural activities. Their major crops are potato, onion, sorghum, jowar, rice, flowers and pulses. Many village youth have also initiated small-scale businesses like poultry, milk collection and pig raring. Although these villages are near the Bhima River basin and surrounded by a small watershed, the government’s lack of investment in infrastructure has left local farmers dependent on unreliable tanker water. Instead of meeting demands for sustainable irrigation schemes to improve the conditions of local farmers, the government seeks to reduce the land of local citizens in order to create an SEZ.
