    August 2019 News Letter

    AUGUST 2019: SMALL TOWNS: THE NEXT FILMING DESTINATION SMALL CITIES BECOMING BOLLYWOOD'S NEW FILMING DESTINATIONS Light, camera, action – these are the word which one can easily get to hear in small India n towns and cities now. Call it an effort to make a film more realistic, now a lot of filmmakers want to shoot their films in real locations. Be it the ghats of Bithooror in kanpur, small galis of Maheshwar or famous junctions in Kota, filmmakers are now exploring small cities to shoot their films. It can be said that the change is happening on the stories side too. Idyllic European getaways have given way to stories set in Lucknow, Kanpur, Mathura, Agra and Patna. Even big banners such as Yash Raj Films and Dharma Productions adapted and went local with films such as Shuddh Desi Romance and Dum Laga Ke Haisha, and Badrinath ki Dulhaniya and Dhadak. NRIs too love such films. These films have a pan-India connect. Most people in our country do not live in palaces; they are looking at the ground reality and issues that they face on a day-to-day basis. “A paradigm shift has happened to stories and locales in films now. The audience is responsible for it.” Source: The Week, December 28, 2018 G W A L I G A R H F O R T Gawilghur (also Gawilgarh or Gawilgad) was once the well-fortified mountain stronghold of the Maratha Empire. Fort lies in the vicinity of the Melghat Tiger Reserve, and is believed to be 300 years old.

The Maratha scholars and historians had worked hard to construct the history of the land and people of Maharashtra. Among such scholars people like Kashinath Sane, Rajwade, Khare and Parasnis were well known luminaries in this field of history writing of Maratha. Kashinath Sane published a mass of original material like Bakhars, Sanads, letters and other state papers in his journal Kavyetihas Samgraha for more eleven years during the nineteenth century.

    TCP Core Plan of Melghat Tiger Resurve

    PREFACE Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR), the part of Satpuda Maikal ranges falls in Amarvati, Akola and Buldhana districts of Vidharbha in Maharashtra. It is one of the 9 Project Tiger declared initially in 1973 by Government of India and came into existence on 22nd Feb, 1974 as the first tiger reserve of Maharashtra. MTR is the store house of biodiversity and tribal culture. MTR is a typical representative of Central Indian Highland forming a part of the Bio- geographic zone ‘6 E-Deccan Peninsula’– Central Highlands. The reserve forms an important corridor between protected and forests areas of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra ensuring contiguity of forests in Satpuras. Melghat Tiger Reserve is predominately inhabited by Korku tribes. The Korkus, Nihals and Gaolis have their own tradition of indigenous ethno botanical knowledge. The gotras of Korkus are seen to have been named after trees e.g. Jamunkar, Semalkar etc. which goes to prove the integration of their culture with nature. The reserve forms a very important catchment to Tapi and Purna river systems with important tributaries like Dolar, Khandu, Sipna, Gadga, Khapra and Wan river. The river Chandrabhaga which originates from Chikhaldara has its watershed in the reserve. The Gavilgarh fort and Vairat points in the Vicinity of Chikhaldara hill station have important historical significance. Crevices in valleys and forts offer good hiding spaces for wildlife. It harbours a viable population of Tiger (Panthera tigris) and of the endangered Gaur (Bos gaurus). All India Tiger Census, 2010 estimated the presence of about 32-35 tigers in the reserve and it has the potential of supporting 50 tigers based on today’s prey base available as estimated by the method of Hayward et.al.

    Welcome To Narnala Wild Life Sanctuary Where History and Nature mingle in Harmony Kham Talao: Narnala Wildlife Sanctuary Akot WildLife Division Akot: Maharashtra. Ms Imtienla Ao IFS. Deputy Conservator of Forest. Akot WildLife Division, Akot.Maharashtra. 1 HISTORY OF NARNALA FORT The district gazetteer of Akola describes the Narnala fort in a very lucid manner: An excerpt :- Narnala is an ancient fortress in the hills in the north of Akot, taluka at a point where a narrow tongue of Akola District runs a few miles in to the Melghat. It is uninhabited but is in charge of a patel and patwari; the latter, Narayan Dattatreya, has a fund of information about it. The fortress lies about 12 miles north of Akot, the road passing through Bordi and the deserted village of Shahanur. The latter village lies within the first roll of the hills but just at the foot of the real ascent. Its lands were made forest two years ago and signs of cultivation are rapidly disappearing. It has a bungalow and sarai, through no caretaker, and carts can go only as far as this. The rest of the road is under the care of the District Board but is in parts exceedingly steep and stony; however camels mount it, and it is possible to ride a horse all the way. The road climbs a spur of the hills and then follows a ridge, the whole ascent from Shahanur occupying less than an hour. About half way up it crosses first one and then another piece of level ground, each thickly sprinkled with Mohammedan tombs.

    Documentation of Wild Edible Plants of Melghat Forest, Dist. Amravati, Maharashtra State, India

    Ethnobotanical Leaflets 14: 751-58, 2010. Documentation of Wild Edible Plants of Melghat Forest, Dist. Amravati, Maharashtra State, India *Bhogaonkar Prabha Y.1, Vishal R. Marathe2 and Prachi P. Kshirsagar1 Department of Botany, Govt. Vidarbha Institute of Science and Humanitis, Amravati, (M.S.). *Email: [email protected] Issued: July 01, 2010 Abstract An ethnobotanical survey with respect to food plants showed that tribals depend much upon forest products for their various daily needs. Wild edible plants play a significant role in the sustenance of rural life in Melghat. The paper deals with documentation of 42 plant species belonging to 23 families consumed by the tribal and other locals of Melghat area, Dist. Amravati, Maharashtra, India. Plant name, Family, along with their part used, and method of preparation is discussed. Keywords: Wild edibles, Documentation, Melghat, Maharashtra. Introduction From ancient time plants have been used as a source of food, shelter, clothing, medicine, fibre, gum, resin, oil, etc. Several wild plants are used as food by tribals and other local people living in and around the forest areas. It has been observed that the traditional knowledge on wild food plants is on sharp decline. Unless efforts are made to educate the younger generations about their importance, this knowledge may be lost in the near future. Melghat sub-division of Amravati district (Maharashtra, India) comes under tribal sub-plan area. Entire area comes under category – I. i. e. where tribal population is over 50% Tribal sub-plan area extends over an area of 4212 sq.km out of which 77% area is under forest.
