District Census Handbook, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan and Ajmer CENSUS, 1951 RAJASTHAN AND AJMER DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK dAISALMER PART I-GE~RAL-DESCRIPTION AND CENSUS TABLES By Pt. YAMUNA LAL DASHORA, B.A., LL.B., Superintendent of Census Operations, Rajasthan and Aimer. JODHPUR: . PREFACE The,CensuR Beports in olden time~ were printed one for the whole Province of Raj­ putana and another for Ajmer-Merwara. Some 'of the flrincipal ~ta.tes now merged in Rajasthan published their own reports. This time the State Census F eports have been published ,in the following volumes:- 1. Part I A .. Report. 2. Part r -- B .. Nubsidial'Y Tables and District Index of Non-Agricultural OccupationR. il. Part r -.c; .. Appendices .. 4. Part If -A .. Ceneral Population Tables, Household, and Age, Sample T~les, Social and Cultural Tables, Table E Summary Figures by A dministrative Units, and Local 'KA' 'Infirmities. 5. Part II - B .. Economic Tables. They contain statistics down to the district level. The idea of preparing .Uw District ('ensus Handbook separately for each. di13t;rict was put forward by Shri R. A. Gopalaswami, [. C. R., Registrar General. India, and ex-officio Census: . Commissioner of India, as part of a pIau intended to secure an efff.ctive ,method of preserving the census records, prepared for .areas below, the distrjc.t levet., He proposed. ~.hat all the di8trict, census tables and census abstracts prepared during the process of sorting and compilation. should be· bound together in a I single manufilcript volume, called the Distr~ct Census Handbook, and suggested to the State Governments that the' Handbook (with or ,without the addition of other useful information relating to the district) should be printed aAd pub­ lished at their own co~t in the same manner as the village statistics in the past. In accept­ ing. this sllf:gestion, the Government of Rajasthan decided to print and publish the more important portion of statistical data relating to the district and to preserve the rest of the records in, a manuscript vol nnw for any fntur(' nse, to which they may be put. This Handbook eOllt.aius fivp General Population Tables of A Series, three Economic Table8 of B t-Ieries fi e Household amI Age Tables of C Series. seven Soeial and Cultural Tables uf D "":eries, Olll' table I~ ui\'itlg Nlll1l1WLry for the district and tehsils, a local table 'KA' showing infirmities by a e groups and an I ndex of '\ on-agricultural OCl'upations_ Each table contains an explanatory note ne(~esi'lnI'y for the proper understanding of the figures. The numbers given to the table,; in this if andboo eorrespgncl to those given in 8tate Census Reports. Village l'il'eetories Were published for the!"fl1·~t: ~w.~ .-ill. HI31 by a few States of Raj­ putl:Lua. The example was followed by all the St'~ti;ls"iI1' '94.1:' They contained for each village the population figures by religion and also :-0uie:-j;)g1er useful information. They were bound in a volume one for each Ntate. This time the Village Directories are also incorporeted in this Handbook under the name of "Primary Census Abstract and Village Directory" whirh show the basic population figureR separately for each "mage or town-ward classified by livelihood classes instead of religion and also some information of general nature. Opportunity has bern taken to put in a ~hort introductory note detailing the salient P()~!lt8 connected with the district, such as the physical features, climate, rainfall, irrigation d drainage facilities, roads anu other communications, agriculture education, industries and her matters of general interest. The information contained in the introductory note is tsed on the material furnished by ('ollectol's of districts and Departments of Government. III addition to the above. some figures of general interest and arreview of population figure', ha VI:' also been incorporated. The scheduled date for the pUblication of the Halldbooks a!:l prescribed by the Regis­ trar General. India was, "Not later than March 1952" but practical experience showed its publicat,ion by that time all impracticabilitv. Even the compilation of the tables together with its final touch could not be completed by that time. Then came the question of printing which proved to be a huge task. There 25 districts in Rajasthan and 1 in Ajmer. The total number of printed pages turned out to be nearly 9,000. The Government Presses were 2 already over· burdened with the priIiting work of other departments and in the printing of Census .Publications priority was giVlm tn :central Government Publications i. e. the State Census Reports. The result was that till March, 1954, for 14 out of 26 districts the P. C. A. -and Village Direntary cauld:1IO't he pTinted especially because the press had nD stock of -small type which WaB essential for their 'Printing.

Ph~~ical ~spectl. 1. This district comprises the whole of the former Jaisalmer Sta.te. It lies between 26.·4' and 28°-28' north ja,titudes and 690 .30' and 72°-42' east lQngitude~ Position, Area and and has an a.rea. of 16,062 square miles; it is thus in regard to size, Bboundary. the biggest district in the whole of Rajasthan. Its greatest breadth from east to west is about 170 milas, and greatest length from north to south 136 miles; in shape it is an irregular 'oval, the longest a,xis being 210 miles, lying north-east and south-we st. It is bounded on the north and west by Pakistan; on. the 'south and east by Jodhpur and Barmer Districts a.nd on the north-east by Bikaner Distriot. 2. The country is almost entirely a sandy waste forming part of what is known 80S the great Indian desert. In the neighbourhood of Jaisaltner town, Configuration. and within .a circuit of about 40 miles, the Boil is very stony and numerous low rocky ridges and hard undulating plains, covered in places to the south with smooth pebbles displaying the action of water, occur, but, with this exception, the general aspect is that of an interminable sea of sand-hills of all shapes and sizes, varying from twenty to two hundred feet in height and being sometimes two or three miles in length. The sand-hills in the west are covered with Phog (Calligonum poly­ gonoides) bushes, lana (Haloxylon salicornicum) and khejra (Prosopis spicigera); and those in J the east with tufts of long grass. Shifting sands, locally termed "dhrians", are common especially in the west near Shahgarh, where they are often many miles in extent and where their surface is continually changing, the sa.nd being in one place scooped out into funnel-shaped hollows, and in another thrown up into beautifully rounded hills; these dhrians are very difficult to cross as ._the path shifts almost daily, and the people say that they are gradually but very slowly travelling northwards. Of the district as a whole it may be said that no country could well bear a more desolate appearance.

  • Jaisalmer & Jaipur
    Tour de India HOLIDAYS ‘The Queen of Thar’ JAISALMER Is an ancient battlement under desert skies! Backpackers Camping Tour Promotion Jaisalmer, Rajasthan - The fort of Jaisalmer is a breathtaking sight: a massive sandcastle rising from the sandy plains like a mirage from a bygone era. No place better evokes exotic camel-train trade routes and desert mystery. Ninety-nine bastions encircle the fort’s still- inhabited twisting lanes. Inside are shops swaddled in bright embroideries, a royal palace and numerous businesses looking for your tourist rupee. Despite the commercialism, it’s hard not to be enchanted by this desert citadel. Beneath the ramparts, particularly to the north, the narrow streets of the old city conceal magnificent havelis; all carved from the same golden-honey sandstone as the fort – hence Jaisalmer’s designation as the Golden City. A city that has come back almost from the dead in the past half-century, Jaisalmer may be remote, but it’s certainly not forgotten – indeed it’s one of Rajasthan’s biggest tourist destinations. Weather – Best time to go – The best time to visit Jaisalmer is in between the months of October to March. This is mainly so because the summer months experiences very hot and Tour de India HOLIDAYS humid weather conditions. If you are visiting Jaisalmer as a tourist, then the ideal time is the winter season. This is the best time to enjoy sightseeing and participating in outdoor fun activities like desert safari and camel rides. The temperature remains pleasant during daytime and cool at night. Shopping - Jaisalmer is famous for its stunning embroidery, bedspreads, mirror work wall hangings, oil lamps, stonework and antiques’; watch out when purchasing silver items: the metal is sometimes adulterated with bronze.

    ISSN: 2319-8753 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Vol. 3, Issue 12, December 2014 Spatio - Temporal Analysis of Population Growth in the District Headquarters of Rajasthan Divya Shukla1, Rajesh Kr Dubey2 Assistant Professor, Home Nursing, St. John Ambulance Association, Ayodhya, U.P, India.1 Director, Prakriti Educational & Research Institute, Lucknow, UP, India.2 ABSTRACT: The rapid population growth results to economic difficulties, problems for resource mobilization, economic instability, increased unemployment, mounting external indebtness and finally low rate of progress. People were well aware about the importance of population studies from very ancient period. Explosively growing population has attracted the attention of social scientists and policy makers. For country like India, it is very important to study the decadal variation of population growth it helps in realizing problems. The population growth and socio economic changes are closely related to each other. In present study, Rajasthan has been chosen as study area. This state is the biggest state of our country having challenges of desert and desertification. In this state the distribution of population is irregular due to harsh physical condition. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the change in population growth rate in the District Head Quarters (DHQs) of Rajasthan during the three decades 1981-91, 1991-2001 and 2001-11. The present study is based on city/town level data obtained from the Directorate of Census Operations, Jaipur; Rajasthan. The data are concerned to the census 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011. Due to push- pull factors, the rural urban migration is causing the process of urbanization.

  • CRAFT and TRADE in the 18Th CENTURY RAJASTHAN
    CRAFT AND TRADE IN THE 18th CENTURY RAJASTHAN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor of ^l)ilos;opl)p IN )/er HISTORY ! SO I A. // XATHAR HUSSAIN -- .A Under the Supervision of Prof. B. L. Bhadani Chairman & Coordinator CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2008 ^Ci>Musu m ABSTRACT The study on the 18* century has been attracting the attention of the historians such as Richard Bamett, C.A. Bayly, Muzaffar Alam, Andre Wink, Chetan Singh and others. Two subsequent works on the eastern Rajasthan by S.P. Gupta and Dilbagh Singh and on the northern Rajasthan by G.S.L. Devra have added new dimensions to the whole issue of existing debate on the 18' century, a period of transition in the history of India. Therefore, the importance of the studies on Rajasthan assumes significance which contains a treasure house of archival records, hitherto largely unexplored. My work is consisted of eight chapters with an introduction and conclusion. The first chapter deals with the study of geographical and historical profile of the Rajasthan. The geographical factor such as types of soils, hills, river and vegetation always nourishes the economy of the region. The physical location of Rajasthan had influenced its history to a greater extent. The region bears the physical diversity and we can divide it into two parts namely in the fertile south eastern zone and the thar arid zone. It was bounded by the Mughal subas (provinces) like Multan, Sindh, Delhi, Agra, Gujarat and Malwa.

It plays a vital role to achieve the self-sufficiency in each sector of economy. Irrigation plays a crucial role in farming for those areas suffering from irregular pattern of rainfall. Rajasthan is the state of India which usually faces the drought condition as the monsoon gets fall. The farming in this state totally depends on the irrigation. This paper includes the district-wise distribution of cropping intensity and irrigation intensity including the comparison of 2013-2014 with the year 2006- 2007. Key words: Irrigation Intensity, Cropping Intensity, Net Area, Gross Area. RESUMEN La agricultura es una actividad primeria la cual está directa o indirectamente relacionada con otras actividades.
