LI.~ o( PrimM)' Sohool. 230-23' FOREWORD Several States, including Utta,r _Pradesh, have been publishing village statistics by distr~cts at each census. In 1941 they were published in U. P. under the' title' . "District Census Statistics" with a separate volume for each district. in the 1951 ' . census, when the tabulation has been more elaborate than ever in view of the require .. ment~ of the country, the district .. wis~ volume has been expanded into a "District Census Handbook", which now contains the District Census Tables (furnishing data ~ith break ... up for census tracts withiV the district), the District Index or'Non ... agricultural Occupations, ag~ic~ltural statistics from 1901 ... 02 to 1950"51 and other miscellaneous statistics in addition to the usual village population statistics. The village populati6n' statistics also are given in an elaborate form giving the division "of the population among eight livelihood classes and other details. 2. It may be added here that aseparate set of district ... wise volumes giving only population figures of rural areas bt villages and of urban areas by wards and moh~lla:s' and entitled "District Populatioiv Statistics" has already been published. This separate series ~as necessitated by the urgent requirements. of the U. P; Government for elections to local bodies. The printing of the District Census Handb~oks involves colossal work and is bound to take some time. RAJESHWARI PRASAD, I.A.S., RAMPUR: Superintendent, Census Operations, Septemher I, 1954. Uttar Pradesh. INTRUDUCTION A-THE DIS'X'RlO'l' 1. Meerut is sit.uated in the upperl Doab.of ~ rivers Ganga. and Yamuna. It is' . bounded on tho north by tho distriot of Muzaffa.,nagar and on tho south by Bulandshllhr. On the oast the boundary throughout is formed by the Ganga whioh sepnratc8 it from tho districts of Dijnor and Moradabad. Alla\ong the western boundary flows the Yamuna, which separates this district from Delhi and East Punjab. The district has a total area, according to the figures of 1951, of 2,323 squa.re miles. Its population in 1951 was 22'81 lakhs, the socond biggcst among the districts of the State. It hll.8 (} tahsils, 17 parganas and 23 thanas. '. 2. In its general aspect the district presents the appearance of a level alluvial Jllain ,Topography . without any hills or eminences of any magnitude. The general direction of the drainage is from north to sonth, and the slope is very graduo.l throughout. There is no uneven ground save in tho ravines or khadar8 that 0.1'0 gencro.l1y found on tho edge of tho river' valloys. , . It may be divided into several distinct tracts; each with well-marked physico.l charac­ teristics of its own. These are the north-western tract, the central depression, the"illlostern tract and the khadarlands of the Ganga and Yamuna.. The first of these, the north-­ west{)rn trn.ct, embmces the wholo of the J3aghpat tehsil, the' greater part of So.rdhana and portions of Meerut and Ghaziabad.: : This tract is the most fertile portion of the; entire area of Meerut, and consists of a' fine black loamy soil. 'This level plain is only broken by tho valleys of the Rindan and ita tributaries .. Towards tho west it sinks into tho klUldar of the Yamuna, while on the south the good soil of the upland narrows to a point and terminates in the. wide expanse of low-lying land or khadar between the Hindan and the Yamuna. Between the Yamuna and the Hindan there are two small streams which drain the north central portion of the upland tract known (IS the Krishani and Banganga.. Their banks are broken by severo.l smILll ravines and these rivers are quite useless except drainage eho.nnels .. The' river Yamuna exercises a large influence on the Baghpat tehsil and all the land west of the Rindan. The bed of the river lies very low and irrigation from it is impracticable. Only in the south the absence of the high bank results in floods which satmo.to a great portion of pargana Loni in Ghaziabad tchsil. Its khadar is much wider in the south than in the north. Here the uplan:ls terminate in a sandy fringe of ravines and undulat.ing soil in which nothing will grow except an inferior kind of thatching grass. In the south the khadar sinks into a low-lying tract with a number of depressions which are. nearly always covered with water. This lower Hadar is also subject to floods. The Rindan · flows through the eastern half of the north-west<lrn tmct. Ita waters are used for irri- · gating the rabi crops and melons'. U.s khadar which joins the khadar of the Yamuna in the south is affected by tho saline efflorescence or reh. East of tho Hindan watemhed is the central depression whioh runs from north to south. It includes a. part of tehsil Sardhana, the centre of 'tehsil Meerut and the east of pargana Jalalabad and the greater portion of pargana Dasnn. of tehsil Ghaziabad. Tho distingllishing feature of this tract, is the want of proper drainage. There are artificial. drains but even then water does not escape rapidly and though the soil is generally good, " there is a. tendency to saturation and damage in unusually wet years. In places thero is a. tendency to the formation of reh.· . T1Hnmstern \lpll1.nds extend from the central depression to the Tl\.vines above the G:1nga. khadar. This tract mainly comprises of greater portions of tahsils Mawana and Hapur. It is drained by the Kali nadi nnd its affluent.!!. Its chief charaeteristio is the existence of ·:·lines of bhur or sand. The soil is not so rich as in the north-western tract . \ The eastern most tract is the low khada~ lnnd of the Ga.nga valley in tehsils Mawana '. and Rapur. Many parts of it are capable of cuIt.ivation, but it is chiefly covered with ;:grass jungle.' 'Some of it hus been reclo.imed for coloniza.tion. This khadar has many '; wandering depressions and. water-courses generally connecting with the . main stream ;} tIle chief of these .being the Burh Ganga which is an old beel of the Ganga. But it is ~ J fairly' ff1iscd on the whole, with Boils that nrc poor nrtd light. 'rho only pn.rtOl' of tho diS­ ,i;trict which are liable to flood are the Ganga. khadar, besIdes the villages in the low-lying ": tra.cts of pargana Loni in tahsil Gha.ziaba.d and the south of Baghpat near the Yamunn. · ~"",j, . 3. As regards. the Boils,' the district is one of the best in the State. On the wholo Solis .,it is 11 trnot. of oxtraorclinllrily rich and lIniform Boil, fully irrigated nnd sp)[ln(liclly cultim- ted. It lWR bCl'n seen in tho previolls paragraph that. the district iSwfur tho most. part, n. 'level upland loam, ending in sandy ridges or ravines above the Ganga JowJnnd on tho cast and the Yamuna lowland· on the west, but with bll7lr ridges flanking the Kali nadi and the Hindan nnd wit.h a large strip of low-lying hard soil running through the c~ntre. But for ~uch snmll (t]'('nR which are affected -by natlli'l\l~cfcots find fall bolow t.he ,r;:en())"1101 higll lever of exccllenco, tho averngo main 80il is of the very higoat quality, Imd is nut llurpllRsetl in natural fertility by Ulat of Emy.

FOREWORD THE Uttar Pradesh Government asked me in March. 1952, (0 'supply them for the purposes of elections to local bodies population statistics with ,separation for scheduled castes (i) mohalla/ward-wise for urban areas, and (ii) village-wise for rural areas. The Census Tabulation Plan did nbt provide for sorting of scheduled cast<;s population for areas smaller than a tehsil or urban tract and the request from the Uttar Pradesh Government came when the slip sorting had been finished and (he Tabulation Offices closed. As the census slips are mixed up for the purposes of sorting in one lot for a tehsil or urban tract, collection of data regarding scheduled castes population by moh'allas/wards and villages would have involved enormous labour and expense if sorting of the slips had been taken up afresh. Fortunately, however, a secondary census record, viz. the National Citizens' Register, in which each slip has been copied, was available. By singular foresight it had been pre­ pared mohalla/ward-wise for urban areas and village-wise for rural areas. Th e required information has, therefore. been extracted from. this record, 2. In the above circumstances there is a slight difference in the figures of population as arrived at by an earlier sorting of the slips and as now determined by counting from the National Citizens' Register. This difference has been accen mated by an order passed by me during the later coum from the National Register of Citizens as follows:- (i) Count Ahirwars of Farrukhabad District, Raidas and Bhagar as ·Chamars'.

IN -I , ^ I <:•*- ^^-X. - •^<:<« A ..^.,^^^BV GHAZALA HAiMEED Under the Supervision of DR. ATEEQUE AHMAD DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2000 ABSTRACT Settlement has occupied an important place among the visual imprints made by man upon physical landscape, through the process of cultural occupancy since the dawn of civilization. The evolution and growth of settlement in an area is a result of interplay of the prevailing ecological conditions, cultural and social values of the residents, technology, management system and the settling process through time spans settlement refers to an organized colony of human beings ranging from a simple farmstead to a highly complex city and from a temporary camp of hunters or miners to more sedentary houses of farmers and city dwellers. Settlement includes not only the various kinds of buildings put to a variety of uses but also lanes, streets, roads, parks, places of worship and play grounds etc. In the initial stages settlement features bear simple forms and have close relationship with the environment. However, the growth of knowledge and spread of civilization increases the degree of variability in their form and size. The problem of human settlements has emerged as one of the most challenging issues particularly in the under developed countries of the world. About 65 per cent of the world's population still lives in rural areas. Since the country is dominated by agrarian economy and most of the population is concentrated in villages, the study of rural settlements in India should be given prime importance.

    ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT -A CASE STUDY OF MEERUT AND GHAZIABAD DISTRICTS ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED TO ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ©ottor of pjjilostopljp IN GEOGRAPHY BY NIGAR ANJUM UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROF. M. FAROOQ SIDDIQI DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1995 ABSTRACT India, being a developing country is striving its best for rapid development of industry, agriculture, science and technology, means of transport and communication. However, associated with developmental activity, the problem of environmental pollution inevitably poses a threat to human survival. It is true that any developing country can prosper only with industrialisation and more so far India where they have also in solving the unemployment problem created by rapid growth of population but as a side effect they lead to environmental pollution to such an extent that life of the people is affected in various ways. Maintenance of purity and safety of the environment in the face of increasing urbanisation, industrialisation and mechanisation of daily life has thus become a challenging task. In the interest of the present and future generation, necessary steps should be undertaken to make sustainable use of land, its mineral and water resources, plant and animals so that the purity of air water and land may be preserved, reproduction of natural wealth may be ensured and quality of environment may be improved. 2 The study area lies between 28°29' and 29°18' latitudes and 77°07' and 78°14' East longitudes. It is roughly rectangular in shape and is bounded in the north by district Muzaffarnagar, in the south by Bulandshahr, in the south west by the Union territory of Delhi and in the east by Bijnore and Moradabad districts.

    AQUIFER SYSTEM AND GROUNDWATER RESOURCE EVALUATION IN PARTS OF HINDON-YAMUNA WATERSHED IN PARTS OF WESTERN UTTAR PRADESH ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor of $I)Uo£;opt)P IN GEOLOGY BY FAKHRE ALAM DEPARTIVIEWT OF GEOLOGY AUGARH A/IUSLIM UWrVERSITY AUGARH (liMOIA) 2010 ABSTRACT The study area, a part of the vast central Ganga Plain, is delimited in the east and in the west by Hindon and Yamuna rivers, respectively. It lies between latitude 28^47^ and 29*^18'N and longitude ll%il>{)" and lfl>{^ E and covers an area of about 1,345 km^ The area is well endowed with the groundwater resources but over-exploitation has created adverse impact on the groundwater regime. It is one of the densely cultivated tracts and serves as leading producer of crops especially sugarcane, paddy and wheat. The high stress on groundwater for irrigation due to pumpage of large quantities of groundwater for irrigation has threatens the sustainai^ility of agriculture development. :/• ''" ;"',• Groundwater development has. a^eady reached to a critical stage in some part of the study area and therefore, the area wa^ trndgrtaksbrfor present work. The present research has been focused on aquifer system and its quantitative and qualitative evaluation and management of groundwater resources in multilayered aquifer. For the said purposes detailed hydrogeological, hydrogeochemical field and laboratory investigations were carried out to generate data base. The average annual rainfall in the area is about 500 mm and a decline by about 70 mm is indicated during the last two decade, which may possibly be a manifestation of climatic changes.
