OF THE STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF BENGAL. THIS Volume treats of the British Districts of Singbhum and Manbhiim, and the collection of Native States subor dinate to the Chutia Nagpu-- Commission. Minbhum, with the adjoining estate of Dhalbl1um in Singbhu1n District, forms a continuation of the plarn of Bengal Proper, and gradually rises towards the plateau -of .Chutia. Nagpur. The population, which is now coroparatrv^y. dense, is largely composed of Hindu immigrants, and the ordinary codes of judicial procedure are in force. In the tract of Singbhum known as the Kolhan, a brave and simple aboriginal race, which had never fallen under Muhammadan or Hindu rule, or accepted Brahmanism, affords an example of the beneficent influence of British administration, skilfully adjusted to local needs. In three estates in Singbhum, as in the seven States which constitute the Tributary Mahals of Chutia Nagpur, petty chiefs exercise their hereditary rights of government, subject to the minimum of English interference, but effectually restrained from the abuse of their powers. Primeval forests, the home of many species of large game, still cover a great portion of the country. Cultivation is confined to the narrow valleys of the hill torrents, which are 6 PREFACE. carefully embanked and terraced for the rice crop. Mineral wealth abounds, but the natural difficulties of communication are so great as to have hitherto prevented the development of these resources. Towns, or even large villages, do not exist. The chief export trade consists of forest products ; and pasture-rates levied on the herds, driven annually from the plains to graze in the jungle, constitute an important part of the income of the landholders. The total area dealt with in this Volume amounts to 24,836 square miles, containing in 1872 a population of 1,816,573 souls. W. W. H. 1877.

  • Princely State of Gangpur
    October - 2015 Odisha Review Princely State of Gangpur Harihar Panda Abstract: The story of Odisha says a history of some thousand years ago. It has experienced a wide narration of valiant warfare, adoption of variant dynasties, insertion of public representation in monarchy and many more. Even during the English period the Feudatory system has gained an important role that has also put pressure in obtaining rights for its indigenous people. The post independent era has also witnessed a fair participation of royal family members i.e., kings, queens, Pattayats, Chhotrays, Deewans and more in democracy. The infrastructures built during state time still act as core houses for implementing development activities in our state. This article will focus on the establishment of Gangpur feudatory state and its role during the statehood and also revisit the infrastructures of that time. But many of them are still in a miserable condition. This attention may put a beam of light on them to spread our culture, conservation of history and promotion of participatory tourism. History & folklore defeated the kings of Utkala and Kosala, It is a story of more than a thousand years Chindaka-Naga chief Someshvara I also declared ago, when the entire Kalinga, Udra and Koshala to have defeated the Udra chief and captured six were under the rule of Somavamshi kings. The lakh and ninety-six villages of Kosala.

  • Experiment in Tribal Life D
    EXPERIMENT IN TRIBAL LIFE D. N. MAJUMDAR The tribal population which is scattered all over India, and is known by different names, is a section of sadly neglected children of God. In this article, which is based on his personal observations, the writer gives an account of the life of the tribals in Dudhi, U.P., describing the picture of the various phases of their life and the disintegration which later set-in due to the inroads made by avaricious contractors, money lenders and merchants. What happened in Dudhi could be truly applied to tribal areas through out the country. Consequently, the writer makes a plea for adopting ameliorative measures in order to make the life of the tribal population worthwhile. Dr. Majumdar is the Head of the Department of Anthropology, University of Lucknow. India has a large tribal population to the The Santhals of Bengal and those who tune of 25 to 30 millions. The figures of still cling to their 'original moorings, or tribal strength, in the various Provinces and the Oraons of the Ranchi district in Bihar States of the Indian Union, are far from and the Malo or Malpaharia of the Raj- reliable. The difficulty of enumerating the mahal hills, own the same racial traits but tribal people living in the hills and fast­ are regarded as different on cultural nesses where they find their asylum even grounds. to-day, is indeed great, and the nature of The Census literature which refers to the Indian Census organization, its volun­ tribal life and culture is no guide to the tary character, and the untrained personnel racial affiliation or cultural status of the who collect the primary data, all combine tribes.

  • Morphometric Analysis of Sukhnai River with the Help of Remote Sensing Data and Arc-GIS in Bundelkhand Region, Central India
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 January 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Morphometric Analysis of Sukhnai River with the help of Remote Sensing Data and Arc-GIS in Bundelkhand Region, Central India Purushottam Sharma1, M M Singh2, Amit Sharma3 1& 2Department of Geology, Bundelkhand University, Jhansi India. 3 GIS Professional Sector 47 Noida, India. Abstract In the present study, Sukhnai River is selected for the morphometric study. This river is the major tributary of Dhasan River in Bundelkhand region. The morphometric parameters ( linear, areal, and relief) of Sukhnai river basin were measured using Remote Sensing and GIS techniques for future development and planning of the river basin. Watershed boundary, flow accumulation, flow direction, flow length, etc; have been prepared using Arc-GIS software. Profile map of the basin is prepared through Global Mapper. The area is covered by dendritic to sub-dendritic drainage pattern. High bifurcation ratio shows that the drainage is strongly controlled by structures. Form factor (0.35) also indicates the area is having more or less elongated basin with flows of longer duration than average. Keywords: Sukhnai River, Morphometric Analysis, Remote Sensing & GIS, Global Mapper, Dendritic pattern, Bifurcation ratio and Form factor. Introduction: A widely acknowledge principle of Morphometry is that drainage basin morphology reflects various geological and geo-morphological processes over time, as indicated by various morphometric studies (Horton, 1945, Strahler, 1952, Shreve, 1969). It is clear that effect of drainage morphometry is very important in understanding the landform processes, soil physical properties and erosional features. Hydrologic and Geomorphomic processes occur within the watershed and morphometric characterization of the watershed scale reveals information regarding formation and development of land surface processes (Singh, 1992).

RAJENDRA PRASAD ROAD, NEW DELHI-110001 RGICS LEGISLATIVE BRIEF (January, 2017) The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 Jeet Singh Social Cluster RGICS legislative brief The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 2 PART: I Key Messages The Constitutional Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 proposes to include 23 different communities of Assam, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand in the list STs. Despite political consensus and approval of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribe and the previous government, the NDA government took more than two and half years to move this constitutional amendment Bill. Currently there are 210 proposals of different communities for inclusion in the list of STs pending with Central government for final approval. The Bill attempts to resolve only 12 out of 210 proposals seeking ST categorization. PART: II Introduction The introduction of ‘The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016’ in Lok Sabha in December 2016 by NDA government has brought good news for nearly 23 tribal communities. The Union Minister of Trabal Affairs Mr. Jual Oram while introduction of the Bill in the Lok Sabha said that the Bill has accepted some proposals of inclusion of few communities in the list of ST requested by five states governments- Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and Tripura. The Bill reads, “the Bill seeks to include certain communities as well as addition of synonyms of communities in the existing lists of Scheduled Tribes.” For many of these communities, the demand of ST categorization is very old and they fought a long battle for their rightful due.

    International OPEN ACCESS Journal Of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) Quantitative Morphometric analysis of a Semi Urban Watershed, Trans Yamuna, draining at Allahabad using Cartosat (DEM) data and GIS Om Shankar Srivastava1, D. M. Denis2, Santosh Kumar Sirvastava3 1- M.Tech.Student,Vaugh School of Agricultural Engineering & Technology, SHIATS, Allahabad 2- Professor & Head, Department of Soil Water Land Engineering & Management, SHIATS, Allahabad 3- Associate Professor, Department of Soil Water Land Engineering & Management, SHIATS, Allahabad Abstract: In the present paper, an attempt has been made to study the Morphometric characteristic of a Semi Urban watershed, trans Yamuna at Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. For detail study Survey of India toposheets at 1:50,000 scale and CartoSAT-1 DEM data with 30m spatial resolutions has been used. Watershed boundary, flow accumulation, stream number, stream ordering, stream length have been prepared using ArcGIS 9.3, Hydrotool. It has been found that the total length of all stream segments under stream order I to VIII is 266.38,88.15,39.17,17.17,10.62,4.0,4.7,0.2 Km respectively. The total length of Streams for the entire watershed has thus been found to be 430.39 Kms representing a dense drainage network. More than ten morphometric parameters of all aspects have been analysis. This study is very useful for planning rain water harvesting and watershed management. Key words: Morphometric Analysis, Cartosat DEM, Remote Sensing and GIS I. Introduction Morphometric is the measurement and mathematical analysis of the configuration of the earth's surface, shape and dimension of its landforms (Agarwal, 1998).
