This zone covers about 80 percent of the total area of cotton in the state. The study focused on the efficiency of resource use. Two villages namely 4C and Mirjawala were selected from Sri ganganagar tehsil of the zone. Sixty farmers were selected at random in proportion to the total number of farmers in each size group from the list of Bt cotton farmers group and similarly another 60 farmers were selected from American cotton farmers group. The Cobb Douglas production function, revealed that the Bt cotton farmers were underutilized seed and human labour inputs, where as American cotton farmers were underutilized fertilizer. Key word: MVP/MFC, Resource use efficiency, Bt. cotton, American cotton. INTRODUCTION bales, in 2011-2012 area was 121.78 lakh India ranks first in cotton area in the world and hectares and production was 353.00 lakh bales third in production. About 15 million farmers and in 2012-2013 area was 119.78 lakh in the country spread across 10 states are hectares and production was 365.00 lakh bales. engaged in cotton production. Cotton is grown Area under cotton in Rajasthan (2010-11) was in about 10 million hectares in India and is 3.35 lakh hectares and production was 10.10 cultivated in three distinct agro-ecological lakh bales, area was (2011-2012) 4.70 lakh regions viz., North, Central and South. Out of hectares and production was 18.00 lakh bales total, 21 per cent area is under cultivation in and in 2012-2013 area was 4.50 lakh hectares North zone which is 100 per cent irrigated and and production was 17.00 lakh bales (bales of contributes 25 per cent of the production. 170 kg) 1.

  • Architectural Features of the Early Harappan Forts
    Ancient Punjab – Volume 8, 2020 103 ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES OF THE EARLY HARAPPAN FORTS Umesh Kumar Singh ABSTRACT What is generally called the Indus or the Harappan Civilization or Culture and used as interchangeable terms for the fifth millennium BCE Bronze Age Indian Civilization. Cunningham (1924: 242) referred vaguely to the remains of the walled town of Harappa and Masson (1842, I: 452) had camped in front of the village and ruinous brick castle. Wheeler (1947: 61) mentions it would appear from the context of Cunningham and Masson intended merely to distinguish the high mounds of the site from the vestiges of occupation on the lower ground round about and the latter doubt less the small Moghul fort which now encloses the police station on the eastern flank of the site. Burnes, about 1831, has referred to a ruined citadel on the river towards the northern side (Burnes 1834: 137). Marshall (1931) and Mackay (1938) also suspected of identifying Burnes citadel and Mackay (1938) had to suspend his excavations whilst in the act of examining a substantial structure which he was inclined to think was a part of city wall. Wheeler had discovered a limited number of pottery fragments from the pre- defense levels at Harappa in 1946 but the evidence was too meager to provoke serious discussion. The problem of origin and epi-centre of the Harappa Culture has confronted scholars since its discovery and in this context the most startling archaeological discoveries made and reported by Rafique Mughal (1990) is very significant and is a matter of further research work.

Time series data Revised form received: 03 June 2019 spanning from 1994-2015 (post-green revolution) viz. area, yield and Accepted: 15 June 2019 production of 17 crops produced in 27 potential districts and the state were used and meticulously analyzed using Coefficient of Variation and Hazell technique. Results indicated high variability/fluctuation in yield to be the major cause of production instability in all the kharif crops and some rabi crops viz. wheat and mustard. On the contrary, high instability in area was the major source of production instability for crops viz. taramira, gram, barley, cumin and coriander. Performance of kharif crops were poor in general, as the production and productivity of crops were observed to be declining. Therefore, location specific technology development is needed in order to give higher yield even in adverse weather condition, along with price support, which would eventually expand the production.

Seasonal rainfall over Northwest India and Rajasthan were 90% and 109% of their respective LPA. Seasonal rainfall was 92% of its LPA over East Rajasthan and 139% of its LPA over West Rajasthan. Monthly rainfall over the state was 192% of LPA in June, 161% of LPA in July, 66% of LPA in August and 48% of LPA in September. Out of 33 districts, 4 districts received largely excess rainfall; 6 districts received excess rainfall; 9 districts received normal rainfall and 14 district received deficient rainfall during the season. On a micro level, out of 245 tehsils, 32 tehsils received largely excess rainfall; 23 tehsils received excess rainfall; 73 tehsils received normal rainfall; 104 tehsils received deficient rainfall and 11 tehsils received largely deficient rainfall during the season. Southwest monsoon reached parts of southeast Bay of Bengal, south Andaman Sea and Nicobar Islands on 14th May (6 days ahead of its normal date). It advanced over Kerala on 30th May (2 days ahead of the normal schedule) and covered the entire country by 19th July (4 days later than the normal date). Monsoon withdrawal commenced from West Rajasthan on 15th September with a delay of nearly 3 weeks. It completely withdrew from Rajasthan on 11th October, 2017. 1 1. Onset and Advance of southwest Monsoon With the formation of a cyclonic circulation over Andaman Sea, southwesterlies crossing the equator strengthened and deepened leading to persistent cloudiness and rainfall over the region.

Introduction : Sri Ganganagar district Named after Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner, Sri Ganganagar district was part of Bikaner state. This was a mostly uninhabited region. The history of this district is testimony to the vision and efforts of Maharaja Ganga Singh, who visualised and built the Gang Canal after the Indian famine of 1899-1900. The waters of the Sutlej River were brought into the region through the 89-mile long Gang Canal in 1927, turning this region into a breadbasket of Rajasthan. It is said by the elders that this area first came under the ersiwhile Bahawalpur princely state but due to the large open area this was unguarded, and Hindu Mai, one of the companions of Maharaja Ganga Singh took advantage of this opportunity and changed the boundaries or the posts along the boundary. He started his journey to change posts from Suratgarh in south till Hindumalkot in north of this district.

Research Scholor: Ms. Marinal mathur Major Advisor: Dr.(Mrs) Shashi Jain Today, with an increase in working women's population, even traditionally home made sweets and namkeen are now being brought out from market. In this investigation pulse based sweet and savoury products commonly purchased from the local market were identified and analyzed for their nutrient composition. For identification of common products, thirty day scholar students of Home Science College, Udaipur were surveyed. The questionnaire was distributed to them to collect information regarding the pulse based products commonly consumed and purchased by their families, along with the shops from where these were generally purchased. On the basis of information collected, a list of shops was prepared and arranged in cumulative frequency. Out of this, top ten shops were selected for the procurement Twenty products including five sweets and fifteen savoury, were selected for analysis selected sweets were imerti, Besan ladoo, bundi ladoo, Besan burfi and sohan papdi and savoury were Fried chana dhal, mogar, Fried whole moong, fried masoor dhal, dhal moth, Namkeen boondi, Bhujia, Plain sev, Mix sev, Ganthiya, Phaphade, Dhal kachori, Khaman, Chang jhor garam and Roasted Ghana. Each product was analysed for proximate composition and minerals using standard procedures. Results of survey revealed that a variety of sweets and savoury products were consumed and purchased by most of the respondents. More than 50 percent of them purchased Imerti, Besan ladoo, Bundi ladoo, Sohan papdi and Besan burfi.
