More or less all-digital, topographic mapping and most mapping projects required the digital maps prepared by using RS and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques with geospatial database. In this paper we have prepared Geology, Geomorphology, Lineament, Lineament density, Slope and Land Use/Land Cover maps by using RS and GIS techniques. For preparing this maps various LANDSAT data and DEM data have been collected and processed by various techniques adopted and using ERDAS and GIS software’s. Keywords: Geological, Exploration, Topographic, Structural mapping, Land Use/Land Cover. 1. Introduction The most understandable usage of geological map is to indicate the nature of the near – surface bedrock. This is obviously of great importance to civil engineers recommended by the geologist to guide on the excavation of road cuttings or on the siting of bridges, to geographers studying the use of land and to companies exploring minerals. The experienced geologist can, however extract more from the geological map. Geological maps represent the solid geology at the earth’s surface unconcealed by vegetation, soil or buildings, different rock types and formations are illustrated by different colors and symbols. Other structural features like fold, fault, joints and, unconformities are also clearly notified on geological maps. Working with geological maps enhances the ability in re-enforces the relationships, both temporal and spatial between different geological units and structures. Geological mapping approaches have been experiencing unceasing change laterally with technological and scientific advances in other relevant fields. Remote Sensing techniques are now being progressively used to make geological maps obtained the basic geological information on which further clear work is based.

Volume XII, Issue VI, June/2020 Page No: 389 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO:0886-9367 3. Materials and Methodology: Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite data of Landsat-8 is used. Survey of India (SOI) topo sheets are used. SRTM DEM data have been downloaded freely from USGS earth explorer and used. The following table:1 shows the data used for the study area. Data used Spatial resolution Date of acquisition Satellite Data Landsat 8 15m 2018-April-27 SRTM DEM 90 m 2000 Ancillary Data SOI maps- 57F/1, 57F/2 1: 50, 000 1962 Collateral Data Soils, Climate, etc. 3.1. Software used ERDAS IMAGINE 2014, Arc GIS 10.4. 3.2. Methodology: The study aims to prepare Structural maps of Narpala mandal. SOI topographic maps with 1:50,000 scale were used and identified the field location and Georeferenced (WGS 1984) by using GIS software and created base map. Required satellite data is freely downloaded from the United States Geological Survey official website. Before the preprocessing of Satellite imagery began, a sweeping field survey was done throughout the study area in and around the Narpala Mandal using GPS (Global Positioning System). Land sat-8 data has been downloaded with the spatial resolution 30 meters. Layer stacking is done by using Erdas Imagine and given natural colour component is 7,6,4. There is an another free and very useful source for this mapping is BHUVAN, by using this maps I have prepared Geological, geomorphological, Lineament and Lineament density and, Land Use Land Cover maps are prepared in the GIS. 4. Results and Discussion 4.1. Geological map The geological formations of the Anantapur district is well marked groups of an older groups of metamorphic rocks belong to the Archean age and younger group of sedimentary rocks belongs to Proterozoic age ( Pradeep Kumar.; et al 2018). Figure 2 represent the geology of the study area. The major rock types present in the study area of Narpala mandal Hornblende-biotite gneiss, Biotite gneiss, Migmatites, Hornblende- gneiss, Grey granite and Pink granites occurring in western part of the Narpala mandal. Quartzite, arkose with conglomerates and Dolomite, chert, mudstone and some basic sills are present in the eastern side of the study are. Dolomitic lime stone and chert. present in this area are overlying the quartzite. Volume XII, Issue VI, June/2020 Page No: 390 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO:0886-9367 4.2. Geomorphological map: Geomorphology is the consideration of the origin and nature of the landforms, weathering and erosion are the processes involving in this. The study area of Narpala mandal is having denudational origin in the entire mandal. Denudation is an erosive process that breaking and removing the rocks from the surface. Endogenous and exogenous process are the two main processes involving in denudation. Structural origin is also present in some parts of this mandal. Figure 3 represents the geomorphology of the study area. Fig 2: showing the Geology of the study area. Volume XII, Issue VI, June/2020 Page No: 391 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO:0886-9367 Fig 3: showing the Geomorphology of the study area. 4.3. Lineament map: A lineament is a linear feature and expression of underlying structure like fault, Joints and fractures. The common nature of any two sets of lineaments are in the trend along NE-SW and NW-SE. If any geological structure present in the landscape may be consider as a lineament. These lineaments are very useful in ground water exploration. Delineation of structure is very useful for finding new minerals and their exploration. Fracture zones and igneous intrusions like dykes and many other geomorphic features are named as lineaments (Fig 4). Remote sensing Land sat images can give the detailed clue in finding and mapping of the lineaments. Dolomite resources in the field area can be identified by using this lineament. Following figure represents the lineament mapping of the Narpala mandal. Volume XII, Issue VI, June/2020 Page No: 392 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO:0886-9367 Fig 4: showing the Lineament map of the study area. Volume XII, Issue VI, June/2020 Page No: 393 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO:0886-9367 4.4. Lineament density map: Remote sensing is widely used for mineral exploration (Abdelhamid and Rabba 1994; abrams, 1984), especially for regional lineaments mapping, detectecting hydro thermal altered rocks associated with ore deposits and providing basic geologic data. Remote sensing images gives sufficient information for lineament mapping. Lineament investigations are very useful in mineral explorations. Many of the igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic activities involving in the process of formation of new mineralization, those are controlled by liniments. In the following remote sensing image (fig 5) clearly reveal that where the lineaments were present and it may give clue for ground water as well as mineral resource investigations in the field area.

Volume XII, Issue VI, June/2020 Page No: 395 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO:0886-9367 4.4. Slope map: Slope – maps highlight topographic landscapes, subsequent in and around demarcations that may be unheeded with conservative methods of mapping. Slope and DEM plots are particularly beneficial in extents of uneven terrain and sandy areas (Fig 6). slope map of the study extent is extracted from the CARTOSAT DEM image, in ArcGIS environment and classified into ten categories 0-2%, 2-5%, 5-10%, 10-15%, 15-20%, 20-25%, 25- 30%, 30-35%, 35-40%, 40-45%, 45-50% and, >50%. Fig 6: Slope map. Volume XII, Issue VI, June/2020 Page No: 396 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO:0886-9367 4.5. Land Use and Land Cover map: Land use and Land cover change has become essential for environmental monitoring and natural resource management (Pradeep Kumar et al 2018 & 2019, Rajasekhar et al 2019a, b). The use of land is a product of communication between the state of society, the cultural and development background and physical needs.

  • PROFILE of ANANTAPUR DISTRICT the Effective Functioning of Any Institution Largely Depends on The
    PROFILE OF ANANTAPUR DISTRICT The effective functioning of any institution largely depends on the socio-economic environment in which it is functioning. It is especially true in case of institutions which are functioning for the development of rural areas. Hence, an attempt is made here to present a socio­ economic profile of Anantapur district, which happens to be one of the areas of operation of DRDA under study. Profile of Anantapur District Anantapur offers some vivid glimpses of the pre-historic past. It is generally held that the place got its name from 'Anantasagaram', a big tank, which means ‘Endless Ocean’. The villages of Anantasagaram and Bukkarayasamudram were constructed by Chilkkavodeya, the Minister of Bukka-I, a Vijayanagar ruler. Some authorities assert that Anantasagaram was named after Bukka's queen, while some contend that it must have been known after Anantarasa Chikkavodeya himself, as Bukka had no queen by that name. Anantapur is familiarly known as ‘Hande Anantapuram’. 'Hande' means chief of the Vijayanagar period. Anantapur and a few other places were gifted by the Vijayanagar rulers to Hanumappa Naidu of the Hande family. The place subsequently came under the Qutub Shahis, Mughals, and the Nawabs of Kadapa, although the Hande chiefs continued to rule as their subordinates. It was occupied by the Palegar of Bellary during the time of Ramappa but was eventually won back by 136 his son, Siddappa. Morari Rao Ghorpade attacked Anantapur in 1757. Though the army resisted for some time, Siddappa ultimately bought off the enemy for Rs.50, 000. Anantapur then came into the possession of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.

  • Dolomite Mineral Occurrence in Narpala Mandal in Ananthapuramu District, Andhra Pradesh, South India
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 12, DECEMBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 Dolomite Mineral Occurrence In Narpala Mandal In Ananthapuramu District, Andhra Pradesh, South India. T.Madhu, B.Narayana swamy, U.Imran Basha, M.Rajasekhar Abstract: Dolomite is a carbonate rock that in its pure form consists essentially of a double carbonate corresponding to CaMg (CO3)2. Dolomite is applied to a carbonate rock in which at least the minimum amount of 41 percent magnesium carbonate is present. Dolomite closely resembles limestone, but close inspection shows many differences between them. Replacement of calcium in limestone by magnesium results in the recrystallization of the limestone to form dolomite. This replacement process, called dolomitization, generally tends to destroy the original or earlier texture and structure of the rock. Complete recrystallization produces a rock in which many dolomite crystals are well outlined. In general, dolomite is more even grained and less fine grained than limestone. The weathered surface of dolomite commonly is mottled and shows the outlines of dolomitic grains and generally shows the extent of dolomitization. Factors governing the kind of materials found in limestone also apply to dolomite. Dharwar Super group, peninsular gneissic Complex-II and Cuddapah Super group. Small exposures of Meta basalt representing Kadiri Schist Belt and amphibolites representing Ramagiri Schist Belt are found in south east corner and west central part of the toposheets respectively. Western part of the toposheet is covered by rocks of PGC-II and is intruded by dolerite dykes and quartz veins. Conglomerate, dolomite, quartzite and shale belonging to Cuddapah Super group is exposed successively towards east.

Despite positive results in farmer‐participatory varietal selection, adoption was extremely low despite promotional efforts of a local NGO. The few farmers who adopted the variety generated significant benefits. They earned higher profits per hectare and their agricultural asset portfolios (a measure of wealth) increased significantly more than those of non‐adopters. This raises the question of why, if the variety is beneficial, adoption is so low. Some possible explanations and their implications for future varietal development and dissemination are discussed. 1. Introduction There were many reasons to expect that the groundnut variety ICGV91114, released officially in 2006, would be widely adopted in Anantapur district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in southern India. The variety was bred for drought tolerance as well as for high yields, and it was screened for the quantity and quality of the haulms (stems), a major source of feed for livestock. ICGV91114 was developed by research and development organisations through a participatory process with extensive farmer involvement (Nigam et al, 2005). Experimental data from farmers’ fields consistently showed that ICGV91114 outperformed traditional varieties (Nigam et al, 2005).
