Understanding Underdevelopment in Vidarbha 11 Water Policy Research Highlight Understanding Underdevelopment in Vidarbha Sanjiv Phansalkar Comprising of eleven districts in eastern Maharashtra, Vidarbha is significantly underdeveloped compared to the rest of Maharashtra and India. Popular sentiment attributes this underdevelopment to the step- motherly treatment by the state. However, there are significant variations in levels of development within the region itself which cannot be explained by state action alone. Analysis shows that differential development in Vidarbha is also a function of natural endowments and social ecology. High income areas are the 'mainland areas' with lower tribal population which make more intensive use of their natural endowments. Dependability of source of irrigation is very critical to income generation; in the absence Download this paper from of that, mere inclusion in a command area http://www.iwmi.org/iwmi-tata means nothing.

The Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats forms the natural backbone of the State, with the Satpura range in the north and Bhamragadh- Chiroli- Gaikhuri ranges in the east forming its natural boundaries. The State is surrounded by Gujarat in the Northwest, Madhya Pradesh in the North, Chhattisgarh in the East, Telangana in the Southeast, Karnataka in the South and Goa in the Southwest. As per the Census 2011, the State has a population of 11.24 crore, accounting for 9.3% of the total population of the country and ranks second nationally. Its geographical area is 3.08 lakh sq.km. The State is highly urbanized at 45.2%. Many leading corporates and financial institutions have established their headquarters in Mumbai, which is the capital of the State and also the commercial capital of the country. The leading stock market, the capital market and commodity exchange centers of India are situated in Mumbai. The State has 36 districts, divided into six revenue divisions, viz. Mumbai, Nashik, Pune, Aurangabad, Amravati and Nagpur. Agriculture is the main occupation in Maharashtra. Both, food as well as cash crops are cultivated in the State. Well developed infrastructure facilities, abundant natural resources, good connectivity with the rest of the country through all modes, skilled manpower and quality education have made Maharashtra an ideal business destination for existing as well upcoming industries.

Director General Tele : 91-11-23731956 Fax : 91-11-23731746 E-mail : [email protected] FOREWORD The national response to HIV/AIDS in India over the last decade has yielded encouraging outcomes in terms of prevention and control of HIV. However, in recent years, while declining HIV trends are evident at the national level as well as in most of the States, some low prevalence and vulnerable States have shown rising trends, warranting focused prevention efforts in specific areas. The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies.

Thakare (Kawathekar)2, 1Director, Online computer academy, Nagpur, M.S., India, 2Research Scholarand Associate Prof., Dept. of Architecture, K.I.T.S., Ramtek, Dist. Nagpur, M.S.,India. Abstract: Agriculture is a largest economic sector and plays a very significant role in the socio economic development of our country, which is now in crises. The farmers of various states particularly in Maharashtra are in distress due to multiple factors ending in suicide in large scale. Farmer’s suicides in growing numbers throughout the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Punjab is the most crucial problem and calls for the topmost priority in the agenda of rulers & policy makers. The suicidal trend set in 1991 by the farmers of Andhra Pradesh has spread to Maharashtra in 2000-01 and has been continued even today. Vidarbha is observed as the suicide prone/ danger zone of the state. In Vidarbha region more numbers of farmers have committed suicide to overcome the miseries due to various reasons viz. nonproduction of crops, bad debts, drought, lack of markets, marketing and irrigation facilities exploitation by private money lenders and other social and family causes arising out of the combination of various factors, but no one particular reason could be attributed to this saddest event of the mankind in the Indian history. The Rural Development agencies are coming in picture for the post suicidal help within their limits.

  • India: Mendha-Lekha Gadchiroli, Maharashtra
    TOWARDS SELF-RULE AND FOREST CONSERVATION IN MENDHA-LEKHA VILLAGE, GADCHIROLI Mendha gram sabha (Vivek Gour-Broome) Consultation conducted by: Neema Pathak, Erica Taraporewala, Milind Wani, Arshiya Bose and Ashish Kothari Case study written by: Neema Pathak and Erica Taraporewala July 2008 Executive Summary Mendha village is a perfect example of what a socially unprivileged but strongly united, and motivated community can achieve following the path of non violence (ahimsa), learning to be informed (adhyayan), and self-rule (swaraj). This is an example of a village where villagers would escape into the forest when any outsiders came to visit them about four decades back. Today no government schemes, including those related to natural resources, can be implemented without the permission of the village. As a matter of fact, no one can even visit them without their explicit permission. This has been achieved through a long journey with many ups and downs. At the centre of the journey has been the understanding that the crux of what a community achieves depends on the strength of its governance system and local institutions. In order to make these conditions most effective the village has followed the following principles, among others: 1. Open and transparent discussions in the village on any relevant issue 2. Developing a clear and informed understanding before taking any decisions 3. Taking decisions only after reaching a consensus 4. Not allowing any external intervention in village decisions (external intervention could be at the level of developing understanding during the study group meetings but not while actually taking a decision) 5.

  • Plundered Histories, Forgotten Terrains & Entangled People
    Plundered Histories, Forgotten Terrains & Entangled People ** (A critical search on Planning and Commission on Mining) Goldy M. George I. Conflict in Interest: Planning, Commissioning and Development In the early 1950s India embarked on a program of planned industrial development. Borrowing planning concepts from the Soviet Union, the government tried to stimulate 1 development through massive investment in the public sector, imposing a system of tight controls on foreign ownership of capital in India and playing a highly interventionist role in all aspects of economic policy. The private sector was allowed to continue to operate in agriculture and in a wide range of ‘non-essential’ industrial sectors.1 The steady economic growth of industries with active support from the state machinery is directly proportional to the unchecked exploitation of masses. Several instances of eviction, evacuation etc. had put before a long array of questions on the very edifice of mining and development. Marginalised communities such as Dalits, Adivasis, women, working class, etc. are the first victims of this. Though during the independence struggle “factory to the workers” prominently came on to the national agenda, nowhere in India it was implemented in the post independence era. Resultant displacement, migration, repercussion of workers, loss of land and livelihood, pilfering state revenue, forest resources, etc. has outgrown to monstrous magnitude. Decolonisation of erstwhile colonies invariably saw the elite take control of political power. Naturally they were inclined to capitalism preferring to inherit the colonial state – its laws, structure and character – rather than to transform it fundamentally in ways to respond to the most urgent needs of the oppressed sections.
