Summary o f Perspective Plan 3. Perspective Work Plan 2000-2007 PART - 1 Brief Profile of District Patiala Location Patiala district is located in the south-eastern part of the state of Punjab in the Malwa region. It forms part of Patiala division and lies between 20°-49’ and 30^- 47’ north latitude and 75^- 58’ and 76^- 54’ east longitude. It is surrounded by Fatehgarh Sahib district in the north-west; Rupnagar district and Chandigarh Union Territory in the north; Ambala and Kurukshetra district (Haryana State) in the east; Kaithal and Jind district (Haryana state), and Sangrur district in the west. It is constituted mainly of territories of erstwhile princely states of Patiala and Nabha, which were known as Phulkian states. Origin of Name The district derives its name from the district headquarters town of Patiala, which is said to have been founded about 1762 AD, by Baba Ala Singh, the founder of Patiala state. The word is constituted of two words Patti and Ala, which mean territories of Ala. The city remained in occupation of the descendents of Baba Ala Singh till 1948 when it became capital of PEPSU (Patiala and East Punjab states Union). In 1965 PEPSU was merged in Punjab and thus Patiala became the district and Divisional headquarters. Area The district has an area of 3625 sq. km. (as supplied by the surveyor General, India), which is the 5‘'’ largest area for any district in the state (Annexure-I) Climate The climatc of Patiala district is typical of Punjab plains i.e. quite hot in sunimer and sufficiently cold in winter. The ternperature starts^^n^^^^ March and continues rising till end of June. Hot winds blows during summer, occasionally accompanicd by dust storms. The temperature may touch 45V or more on some days. Generally pre-monsoon showers are experienced in the middle or end of June, which may bring down temperature considerably, rains set in by the first week of July, which may continue up to the middle of September. During the rainy season temperatures are considerably low but it becomes very hot and sultry when it is not raining. From early October, the weather becomes very pleasant as the winter season sets in. November and Dcccmbcr arc pleasant but tiights are cold. There is considerable difference between day and iiighi icinpcraiures during this period. Severe cold is experienced during months of January and February when temperature may touch the freezing point. The winter rains are also experienced during these months but these are only shade of rains experienced during July to September. The winter rains are caused due to western disturbances in the Persian Gulf. Mild frost may be experienced during mid-December to mid-January. Some times hailstorms are experienced in winter months, which may cause extensive damage to standing crops. The district reported an average rainfall of 641.2mm dunx\g200^-0\(Annexure-I). Topography This district is sub-divided into following two-micro regions on the basis of soils, topography, climate and natural vegetation: (i) Patiala plain and (ii) Ghaggar Flood plain. Each of these regions is described briefly as follows: i) Patiala Plain This region spreads over the northern and north western and western parts of Patiala district, occupying the whole tehsil of Nabha and a large part of Patiala, Rajpura and Samana tehsils. The region is a flat featureless plain having alluvial and most fertile soils. The main soils are Ochrepets-Orthents and Ocharepts-Psammets. But there are some pockets in the western parts of Patiala and Samana tehsils where the surface water dries out in dry weather, leaving a sheet of white powdery material at the surface, which is known as Kallar or Reh. The general elevation of this region varies from 278 metres near village Nadali of Rajpura tehsil and 240 metres near village Bujrala of tehsil Samana. Being a plain area, no major river passes through this region, but there are choes/nalas. The important ones are; Patiala Rao, Jhambowali choe, Sirhind choe. There are few pockets of protected forests, namely Badhson Bir, Bir Bhora, Bir Dosanja, Bir Moti Bagh, etc. ii) Ghaggar Flood Plain This region spreads over the eastern, south-eastern and southern parts of Patiala district covering parts of Rajpura, Patiala and Samana tehsils. Ghaggar river flow from north-east to south-west direction. The other chocs/jialas arc namely Pranadi, Dangri Nadi, Miranpur choc, Gadri nadi and Pagna Nadi. Most of the villages arc situated on low lying areas and these arc subject to Hoods during rainy season. 'I'hc main soils arc Ustalfs-Fluvents, Aqucnts- Ochrcpts and Ustalfs- Ochrcpts. The elevation of this region Varies from 256 metres near \ illage Maruj)ur of Patiala tehsil and 230 metres near village Jakhar of Samana tehsil. I'hcrc arc few pockets of protected forests, namely Bir Bhuner Heri, Chhat Bir, Oancsh and Bir Gardialpura. Rivers and Drains It is said that Satluj river used to flow through the Gobindgarh area but changed course to its present course in early part of 13^^ century which is well outside the district boundaries. The following streams, which traverse this district, are briefly described below: Ghaggar The chief stream, which traverses this district, is the Ghaggar. It rises in Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh and is known by the name of Kaushalaya in the upper reaches. After flowing through Himachal territory and Ambala district of Haryana it enters plains near Mubarakpur. Thereafter it is called Ghaggar. It flows in the south-westerly direction and is joined by streams like Tangri, Patiala Rao, etc. Later outside the district boundaries it is joined by combined waters of Saraswati and Tangri streams (emanating in Haryana). Its bed is narrow and ill defined in Banur and Rajpura areas but near Ghannaur its banks are low and the floods easily. Further south the river-flow provides some excellent soil. In summer small quantity of water is available in its upper reaches, but during the rainy season the quantity of water is considerable which causes floods and damage to crops and property.
