Vegetation Condition Index: a Potential Yield Estimator
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-3/W6, 2019 ISPRS-GEOGLAM-ISRS Joint Int. Workshop on “Earth Observations for Agricultural Monitoring”, 18–20 February 2019, New Delhi, India VEGETATION CONDITION INDEX: A POTENTIAL YIELD ESTIMATOR S.K. Dubey∗ Ashutosh Gavli, Neetu & S.S. Ray Mahalanobis National Crop Forecast Centre, Pusa Campus, New Delhi, India - [email protected]; [email protected]; (neetu.ncfc, shibendu.ncfc)@nic.in Commission III, WG III/10 KEY WORDS: Vegetation Condition Index, Remote Sensing, FASAL, Yield forecasting, NDVI ABSTRACT: Early yield assessment at local, regional and national scales is a major requirement for various users such as agriculture planners, policy makers, crop insurance companies and researchers. Current study explored a remote sensing-based approach of predicting the yield of Wheat, Kharif Rice and Rabi Rice at district level, using Vegetation Condition Index (VCI), under the FASAL programme. In order to make the estimates 14-years’ historical database (2003–2016) of NDVI was used to derive the VCI. The yield estimation was carried out for 335 districts (136 districts of Wheat, 23 districts of Rabi Rice and 159 districts of Kharif Rice) for the period of 2016-17. NDVI products (MOD-13A2) of MODIS instrument on board Terra satellite at 16-day interval from first fortnight of peak growing period of crop were used to calculate the VCI. Stepwise regression technique was used to develop empirical models between VCI and historical yield of crops. Estimated yields are good in agreement with the actual district level yield with the R2 of, 0.78 for Wheat, 0.52 for Rabi Rice and 0.69 for Kharif Rice. -
Political Economy of a Dominant Caste
Draft Political Economy of a Dominant Caste Rajeshwari Deshpande and Suhas Palshikar* This paper is an attempt to investigate the multiple crises facing the Maratha community of Maharashtra. A dominant, intermediate peasantry caste that assumed control of the state’s political apparatus in the fifties, the Marathas ordinarily resided politically within the Congress fold and thus facilitated the continued domination of the Congress party within the state. However, Maratha politics has been in flux over the past two decades or so. At the formal level, this dominant community has somehow managed to retain power in the electoral arena (Palshikar- Birmal, 2003)—though it may be about to lose it. And yet, at the more intricate levels of political competition, the long surviving, complex patterns of Maratha dominance stand challenged in several ways. One, the challenge is of loss of Maratha hegemony and consequent loss of leadership of the non-Maratha backward communities, the OBCs. The other challenge pertains to the inability of different factions of Marathas to negotiate peace and ensure their combined domination through power sharing. And the third was the internal crisis of disconnect between political elite and the Maratha community which further contribute to the loss of hegemony. Various consequences emerged from these crises. One was simply the dispersal of the Maratha elite across different parties. The other was the increased competitiveness of politics in the state and the decline of not only the Congress system, but of the Congress party in Maharashtra. The third was a growing chasm within the community between the neo-rich and the newly impoverished. -

Seeing Mumbai Through Its Hinterland Entangled Agrarian–Urban Land Markets in Regional Mumbai
Seeing Mumbai through Its Hinterland Entangled Agrarian–Urban Land Markets in Regional Mumbai Sai Balakrishnan In the past, the “money in the city, votes in the cholars often pose a puzzle of Indian cities: why do some countryside” dynamic meant that agrarian of the richest cities in the country suffer from crumbling water pipes and potholed roads? (Varshney 2011; Bjork- propertied classes wielded enough power to draw man 2015) If India’s cities generate nearly 85% of the country’s capital and resources from cities into the rural gross domestic product (GDP), why are their revenues not hinterland. However, as cities cease to be mere sites of invested in better public services? To some political scientists, extraction, agrarian elites have sought new terms the answer lies in India’s political–economic para-dox: economic power is concentrated in cities, but political power of inclusion in contemporary India’s market-oriented resides in villages (Varshney 1995). The agrarian countryside urban growth, most visibly in the endeavor of the may contribute less than 15% of the GDP, but it is also home to political class to facilitate the entry of the “sugar 80%–85% of the electorate. Politicians cannot afford to ignore constituency” into Mumbai’s real estate markets. agrarian interests without grave losses at the ballot boxes. It is this configuration of political–economic power that explains why “for politicians, the city has primarily become a site of extraction, and the countryside is predominantly a site of legitimacy and power” (Varshney 2011). The electoral power of the agrarian countryside is evident in the relationship of Mumbai to its hinterland. -
Consortium for Research on Educational Access, Transitions and Equity South Asian Nomads
Consortium for Research on Educational Access, Transitions and Equity South Asian Nomads - A Literature Review Anita Sharma CREATE PATHWAYS TO ACCESS Research Monograph No. 58 January 2011 University of Sussex Centre for International Education The Consortium for Educational Access, Transitions and Equity (CREATE) is a Research Programme Consortium supported by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Its purpose is to undertake research designed to improve access to basic education in developing countries. It seeks to achieve this through generating new knowledge and encouraging its application through effective communication and dissemination to national and international development agencies, national governments, education and development professionals, non-government organisations and other interested stakeholders. Access to basic education lies at the heart of development. Lack of educational access, and securely acquired knowledge and skill, is both a part of the definition of poverty, and a means for its diminution. Sustained access to meaningful learning that has value is critical to long term improvements in productivity, the reduction of inter- generational cycles of poverty, demographic transition, preventive health care, the empowerment of women, and reductions in inequality. The CREATE partners CREATE is developing its research collaboratively with partners in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The lead partner of CREATE is the Centre for International Education at the University of Sussex. The partners are: -
Political Economy of Irrigation Development in Vidarbha
Political Economy Of Irrigation Development In Vidarbha SJ Phansalkar I. Introduction: • Vidarbha comprises ofthe (now) eleven Eastern districts in Maharashtra. As per the 1991 Census Over 17 million people live in some 13300 villages and nearly 100 small and big towns in Vidarbha, covering a total of 94400 sq km at a population density of 184 persons per sq km. Thirty four percent ofthese people belong to the SC/ST. While a large majority of the people speak Marathi or its dialects as their mother tongue, there is a strong influence ofHindi in all public fora. A strong sense of being discriminated against is perpetuated among the people of Vidarbha. Its origin perhaps lies in the fact that the city ofNagpur (which is the hub of all events in Vidarbha) and hence the elite living in it suffered a major diminution in importance in the country. It was the capital ofthe Central Provinces and Berar till 1956 and hence enjoyed a considerable say in public matters. The decision making hub shifted to Mumbai in 1956. Vidarbha elite have now got to compete for power with the more resourceful and crafty elite from Western Maharashtra. While largely an issue with the political elite, yet this sense of having been and still being wronged is significantly reinforced by the fact of relatively lower development of this region vis a vis other areaS in Maharashtra. For instance the CMIE Development indexes shown below indicate significantly lower level ofdevelopment for the Vidarbha area. ..

1 1 MAHARASHTRA ON – THE EVE OF BRITISH CONQUEST UNIT STRUCTURE 1.0 Objectives 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Political conditions before the British conquest 1.3 Economic Conditions in Maharashtra before the British Conquest. 1.4 Social Conditions before the British Conquest. 1.5 Summary 1.6 Questions 1.0 OBJECTIVES : 1 To understand Political conditions before the British Conquest. 2 To know armed resistance to the British occupation. 3 To evaluate Economic conditions before British Conquest. 4 To analyse Social conditions before the British Conquest. 5 To examine Cultural conditions before the British Conquest. 1.1 INTRODUCTION : With the discovery of the Sea-routes in the 15th Century the Europeans discovered Sea route to reach the east. The Portuguese, Dutch, French and the English came to India to promote trade and commerce. The English who established the East-India Co. in 1600, gradually consolidated their hold in different parts of India. They had very capable men like Sir. Thomas Roe, Colonel Close, General Smith, Elphinstone, Grant Duff etc . The English shrewdly exploited the disunity among the Indian rulers. They were very diplomatic in their approach. Due to their far sighted policies, the English were able to expand and consolidate their rule in Maharashtra. 2 The Company’s government had trapped most of the Maratha rulers in Subsidiary Alliances and fought three important wars with Marathas over a period of 43 years (1775 -1818). 1.2 POLITICAL CONDITIONS BEFORE THE BRITISH CONQUEST : The Company’s Directors sent Lord Wellesley as the Governor- General of the Company’s territories in India, in 1798. -
Remote Sensing Based Yield Estimation of Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Using Gradient Boosted Regression in India
remote sensing Article Remote Sensing Based Yield Estimation of Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Using Gradient Boosted Regression in India Ponraj Arumugam 1,* , Abel Chemura 1, Bernhard Schauberger 1 and Christoph Gornott 1,2 1 Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Member of the Leibniz Association, 14473 Potsdam, Germany; [email protected] (A.C.); [email protected] (B.S.); [email protected] (C.G.) 2 Agroecosystem Analysis and Modelling, Faculty of Organic Agricultural Sciences, University of Kassel, 37213 Kassel, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Accurate and spatially explicit yield information is required to ensure farmers’ income and food security at local and national levels. Current approaches based on crop cutting experiments are expensive and usually too late for timely income stabilization measures like crop insurances. We, therefore, utilized a Gradient Boosted Regression (GBR), a machine learning technique, to estimate rice yields at ~500 m spatial resolution for rice-producing areas in India with potential application for near real-time estimates. We used resampled intermediate resolution (~5 km) images of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Leaf Area Index (LAI) and observed yields at the district level in India for calibrating GBR models. These GBRs were then used to downscale district yields to 500 m resolution. Downscaled yields were re-aggregated for validation against out-of-sample district yields not used for model training and an additional independent data set of block-level (below district-level) yields. Our downscaled and re-aggregated yields agree well with reported district-level observations from 2003 to 2015 (r = 0.85 & MAE = 0.15 t/ha). -
The Caste Question: Dalits and the Politics of Modern India
chapter 1 Caste Radicalism and the Making of a New Political Subject In colonial India, print capitalism facilitated the rise of multiple, dis- tinctive vernacular publics. Typically associated with urbanization and middle-class formation, this new public sphere was given material form through the consumption and circulation of print media, and character- ized by vigorous debate over social ideology and religio-cultural prac- tices. Studies examining the roots of nationalist mobilization have argued that these colonial publics politicized daily life even as they hardened cleavages along fault lines of gender, caste, and religious identity.1 In west- ern India, the Marathi-language public sphere enabled an innovative, rad- ical form of caste critique whose greatest initial success was in rural areas, where it created novel alliances between peasant protest and anticaste thought.2 The Marathi non-Brahmin public sphere was distinguished by a cri- tique of caste hegemony and the ritual and temporal power of the Brah- min. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, Jotirao Phule’s writings against Brahminism utilized forms of speech and rhetorical styles asso- ciated with the rustic language of peasants but infused them with demands for human rights and social equality that bore the influence of noncon- formist Christianity to produce a unique discourse of caste radicalism.3 Phule’s political activities, like those of the Satyashodak Samaj (Truth Seeking Society) he established in 1873, showed keen awareness of trans- formations wrought by colonial modernity, not least of which was the “new” Brahmin, a product of the colonial bureaucracy. Like his anticaste, 39 40 Emancipation non-Brahmin compatriots in the Tamil country, Phule asserted that per- manent war between Brahmin and non-Brahmin defined the historical process. -
