INTRODUCTION A. Project Background Maharashtra is the second largest state of India in terms of population (estimated at 116 million in 2018) and third largest inland mass (308,000 square kilometers [km2]). Maharashtra is also the most industrialized state, contributing 14.8% of India’s total gross domestic product (GDP) in 2016–2017.1 The rate of economic growth has been above the national average since 2005. Between 2012–2017, Maharashtra’s GDP grew at an average of 7.4% per year, compared to the national average of 6.8% during the same period. Economic growth over the past 5 years is primarily driven by the industrial and service sectors, at an average of 6.1% and 8.8% annual growth rates, respectively. Notwithstanding this, approximately 20 million people still live below the national poverty line of less than $1.90 per day.2 Although the state’s rural poverty rate of 24% is marginally better than the national average of 27%, poverty rates are recorded as high as 40% in some districts. The agriculture sector remains central to Maharashtra’s economic and political landscape. The sector contributes 11% of the Maharashtra’s GDP and accounts for 79% of rural employment. The share of agriculture sector in Maharashtra has been declining in the last three decades, from 21.4% in 1990–1991 down to 12.2 % in 2016–2017. Furthermore, the agriculture sector recorded 2% annual growth during the period, below the national agriculture sector growth rate of 2.6%. This is due to several reasons, including infrastructure gaps in transport which hinder effective links between farms and markets chains. Greater investment in Maharashtra’s rural infrastructure is required to boost the agriculture sector and improve the livelihoods and living standards of the state’s rural population. Most of the state’s population (54.8%) live in rural areas and are primarily dependent on the agriculture sector for employment and income generation. Rural connectivity underpins rural development in Maharashtra. Maharashtra has a road network of 303,000 km of which 67% are rural roads. Roads are the dominant mode of transportation, utilized by over 80% of passengers and 60% of freight traffic However long-term underinvestment has affected all levels of the road network, and the rural road network is in the worst condition. In rural areas, many villages still rely on earthen tracks, which are unsuitable for motorized traffic and can easily become impassable during the rainy season. Poor road infrastructure affects economic growth in rural areas, agricultural productivity, and employment, and has a strong link to poverty. The State Government of Maharashtra recognizes the importance of rural connectivity in vitalizing rural livelihoods and addressing poverty alleviation. The state government has prepared Vision 2030 based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).3 Vision 2030 outlines five areas for strengthening: (i) agriculture, (ii) infrastructure, (iii) industry, (iv) social sector, and (v) governance. In terms of infrastructure, a goal of Vision 2030 is to develop quality, reliable, sustainable and safe roads that are affordable and provide equitable access for all. The plan includes development of major corridors and a rural road network which is expected to support economic development and human wellbeing.

Vision 2030. Mumbai 2 state government hopes to improve the state’s road network using its own resources and assistance from international development partners. The state has completed 24,439 km of roads under the Prime Minister’s Rural Road Development Program (PMGSY), which connects 8,315 habitations.4 The government has initiated the Chief Minister’s Rural Road Scheme (MMGSY) program in the state to connect other villages in remote rural areas not yet reached by PMGSY and improve existing roads also not covered under PMGSY. The MMGSY aims to develop 30,000 km of rural roads over four years to improve access in remote areas to public facilities, markets, and goods. The project is aligned with the government’s Vision 2030 and the country partnership strategy for India 2018–2022 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB).5 The project will improve about 2,100 km of rural roads to all-weather standards. This improvement will support rural populations across 34 districts and help bolster the agriculture sector. The project will also support the government’s agricultural strategy for increasing agricultural productivity by (i) encouraging commercial agriculture and agribusiness development, (ii) increasing employment opportunities for rural poor people, and (iii) reducing the state’s poverty incidence. Development of the rural road network is one critical initiative aimed at achieving the state’s agriculture growth target of 5% per annum. Other major initiatives include doubling farmers’ income, implementing the climate resilient agriculture project funded by the World Bank,6 and increasing agricultural market access. The project is included in the country operations business plan, 2019–2021 for India.7 The State of Maharashtra acting through the Maharashtra Rural Road Development Association (MRRDA) will be the executing and implementing agency. A project management unit (PMU) established within MRRDA will support project implementation. The Secretary cum Chief Executive Officer of MRRDA will be responsible for project coordination and monitoring. There will be 34 project implementation units (PIUs) in 34 districts under 6 regions. A project director assisted by two deputy project directors will comprise the PMU. The PMU will be assisted by consultants. The 6 regional offices headed by 6 superintending engineers will supervise

Dr. P. R. Ghogrey. Science College, Dhule-424005 (M.S.) ABSTRACT: Earlier workers had attempted to arrange Saprobiontic algae in to different levels. Saprobiontic algal communities are capable of tolerating various degrees of pollution. In the present study three stations of Aner dam & three stations of Aner river were selected for collection of water and algal samples. The saprobity indices for all stations of Aner dam & river were calculated according to Pantle and Buck (1955). In the present study the system of Kolkwitz and Marssons is - mesosaprobic in nature. Saprobity indices hold good for assessing the water quality of Aner dam and river in present study. Keywords : Algae, Saprobity system, Water quality.. INTRODUCTION: methods of APHA (1975).

  • Pre-Project Resource Planning for a Highway Construction Project – a Case Study
    International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Research (IJSER) ISSN (Online): 2347-3878 Index Copernicus Value (2015): 62.86 | Impact Factor (2015): 3.791 Pre-Project Resource Planning for a Highway Construction Project – A Case Study Sharma Rohit Durgadutt1, Prof. Patil Dhananjay Subhashrao2 1Civil - Construction Management, Rajarambapu Institute of Technology, Rajaramnagar, Islampur, India 2HOD, Civil - Construction Management, Rajarambapu Institute of Technology, Rajaramnagar, Islampur, India Abstract: Highway construction requires lot of raw material which costs 65% of the total project cost. Location of project site layout should be such that it helps reduce overall project cost by optimizing resource transportation. This can be achieved through mapping resource available locally and pre-bid agreement with vendors. This work has been undertaken to map resources required for the upcoming highway project “Guhagar-Chiplun-Karad-Tasgaon-Jath-Bijapur Highway and Manmad-Ahmednagar-Daund-Baramati- Phaltan-Dhaiwadi-Vita-Tasgaon-Miraj-Belagavi Highway” in order to help construction firms to mobilize fast and acquire resources optimally. Keywords: Material mapping, Resource Optimization 1. Introduction 1) The Guhagar-Chiplun-Karad-Tasgaon-Jath-Bijapur highway travels for a total distance of 295km in The raw materials are the backbone of any construction Maharashtra out of which 153 km is in the Sangli district. It project. Of the total construction cost that occurs on any travels in the West to East direction and then enters the state project about 65% cost is of raw materials and its allied of Karnataka. activities. Thus any further increase in the material cost would directly result in an increase in the project cost.[6] 2) The Manmad-Ahmednagar-Daund-Baramati-Phaltan- Dhaiwadi-Vita-Tasgaon-Miraj-Belagavi highway travels a By optimizing the use of these raw materials available in the total distance of 453km in Maharashtra out of which 98 km vicinity the costs associated with the raw materials can be is covered in Sangli District.
