Warana Mahavidyalaya, Warananagar PREFACE EDUCATION SOCIETY SHREE WARANA VIBHAG SHIKSHAN MANDAL, WARANANAGAR Warana is a name that distinctively stands at the apex of Co-operative Movement and in the Field of Education. It is the name associated to sugar, milk, malted food, paper, banking and consumer store. Warana has set an example for others to follow. Just 50 years ago Warananagar was an area deprived of all the advancements, especially, in the field of education. Today one is amazed to see how this once barren tract of land is converted into a throbbing industrial and educational complex. It is still a green valley that smilingly welcomes all. The man who brought about this metamorphosis is late Hon‟ble Shri V. A. alias Tatyasaheb Kore. He sacrificed his personal joys and stood determined to do the best and transformed this land, which was once full of dacoits, into a prosperous township, a paradise in true sense. LATE HON‘BLE SHRI TATYASAHEB KORE The founder Chairman (1914-1994) Tatyasaheb Kore was born on 17th Oct. 1914 as a son of a farmer, in a small village Kodoli. Being the eldest in the family, he had to shoulder the family responsibilities. He actively participated in Quit India Movement of 1942. He was closely associated to late Shri Yashwantrao Chavan, the former Deputy Prime Minister of India. PHILOSOPHY OF THE FOUNDER Tatyasaheb believed that “Education alone can revolutionize, create awareness and transform the lives and make the masses to march ahead”. He rightly realized the need of providing education to the kit and kin of the farmers in this rural area. Hon‟ble Shri Tatyasaheb Kore believed in co- operation as a way of life and bestowed great importance to its moral content. He was a visionary man with foresight, rare organizational skill and dedication. He was fully aware of the fact that along with the economical prosperity, the rural development and enlightenment is equally important, for which he created educational facilities. He wanted to bring about a total transformation of the rural youth and create a „NEW MAN‟ who is well educated, self-reliant, economically sound and morally upright. ESTABLISHMENT OF WARANA VIBHAG SHIKSHAN MANDAL Tatyasaheb Kore established Shree Warana Vibhag Shikshan Mandal, in 1964, since then the Shikshan Mandal took upon itself the need based endeavour of making education accessible to the poor and deserving. Since 1964, it has been making a great impact on the minds of the youth and achieving its goals with rapid strides. The education society „Warana Vibhag Shikshan Mandal‟ celebrated Golden Jubilee during the year 2013-14 Mission Bringing reformation into humans by value based education.

  • Delineating Groundwater Potential Areas Based on Bore Well Characters in Kodoli Basin, Panhala Taluka, Kolhapur District, Maharashtra
    Delineating Groundwater Potential Areas Based on Bore Well Characters in Kodoli Basin, Panhala Taluka, Kolhapur District, Maharashtra S. C. PURANIK and S. V. SALOKHE Department of Studies in Geology Karnatak University, Dharwad E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Kodoli basin is of 5th order basin, Kolhapur Taluka, Maharashtra. The Cretaceous flow basalts are the litho units. The groundwater occurs under water table and semi-confined to confined conditions Based on the hydrogeology and the characters of the existing bore wells (depth-yield- casing), groundwater potential zones have been delineated. It has been found that the central part of the basin is more suitable area for future development. Key Words Groundwater Potential Zones, Deccan Basalts, Kodoli River Basin, Maharashtra. Introduction The uneven distribution of rainfall and limited availability of surface water made water scarce. This has given the geologists, especially for hydrogeologists an opportunity to search for groundwater as an alternative source. The depletion of rainfall in recent years has caused significant lowering of water table. Hence, the dug wells are dry and sinking of bore wells has become common. A well has to be designed to get optimum quantity of water economically from a geological formation (Raghunath, 1974). The depth of fracturing and weathering as well as the nature of weathering products determine the availability of groundwater and supply to the well (Karanth, 1987). There may or may not be any relation between depth of drilling and yield of bore wells. An analysis of a large number of bore well data of an area provides information about the conditions of groundwater occurrence.

  • Chapter 4 Sole of Sugar Cooperatives In
    CHAPTER 4 SOLE OF SUGAR COOPERATIVES IN DEVELOPMENT OF IRRIGATION FACILITIES 4.1 Introdwctj-Qft As seen in the previous chapter, the problem of distribution of water between sugarcane cultivating areas and other areas has been an important issue since the beginning of the 20th century. Now, as I have examined the issue only at the macro level in the previous chapter, it is necessary to see how some individual cooperative sugar factories have really acted in the area of irrigation development and how their activities affected other areas than their command areas or other parties than sugarcane-growers. In this chapter, at first, efforts on irrigation development of a few sugar cooperatives are examined, and then, the effects of irrigation development by sugar cooperatives on other areas or other parties are studied with examples from a few districts in Maharashtra. 4.2 Vasantdada Shetkari SuRag C<?PPei:9tiYfi> The case of Vasantdada Shetkari Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd., Sangli is worth noting because, although Sangli was not a traditionally known sugarcane-cultivating area, amazingly rapid development of lift irrigation was seen fcr in the early history of this sugar cooperative, because of the foresight and help of a notable leader, Vasantdada Patil. When the factory started its first crushing season in 1958, the area under sugarcane available to it from its command area was not more than 800 hectares. In the command area of the factory, there were 3 rivers flowing, namely, the Krishna, the Warna and the Verla; however, the government was then thinking that lift irrigation projects on rivers were not feasible.

This affects on the crop growth and yield as well degrades the soil over the period. River, open dug well and tube well is used in intensive sugarcane cultivation in the Krishna, Warana and Yerala basin. An attempt has been done to understand the water quality and it’s spatial distribution. Water Quality Index were created based spatial distribution of hydrochemical parameters and derived indices - salinity, sodium absorption ratio, percent sodium ratio, residual sodium carbonate and permeability index. The changes in salinity of irrigation water from post to pre monsoon season indicates salt movement and addition through return flows. The order of importance of geochemical parameters suggested can act as tool for proper management through WQI. Nevertheless continuous monitoring of irrigation sources and proper drainage facilities are needed to overcome effect of poor quality irrigation water sources. Keywords: Secondary soil salinity, Water Quality Index, Black soil, Hydrogeochemical parameters, Krishna River INTRODUCTION Salinization of land has threatened civilizations in ancient and modern times. About 7% (~955 M.ha) of the land surface of the earth is affected by primary soil salinity and 77 M.ha by secondary salinization due to human activities (Metternicht and Zinck, 2003). Proper irrigation water management and drainage was not provided during the rapid irrigation development of the early and mid-decades of the twentieth century.

    IRJC International Journal of Social Science & Interdisciplinary Research Vol.1 Issue 7, July 2012, ISSN 2277 3630 CHANGING PARADIGMS OF RIVER VALLEY SETTLEMENTS- KRISHNA RIVER VALLEY MR. SATHISH S* *Doctoral Student, Institute of Development Studies, Manasagangothri, University of Mysore, Mysore-570006.Karnataka State, India. INTRODUCTION Very first settlement after adaption of agriculture was around rivers. These river valley settlements have definite birth and extinction by various factors. They are the early settlements and starting point of urbanization. Any urbanization attracts migration due to opportunities created by social grouping. Tracing of Historical development in these settlements give clear picture of urbanization process. They also become places of study for human achievements in terms of architecture, urbanization, social, political and economic developments. Conserving these precincts for posterity becomes the prime necessity. These settlements are ignored in developmental process. Water conservation and distribution of scarce resource lead to complexities indecision making in projects. Frequent floods impacts on normal life. Planning in river valley, calls for addressing developmental process in multilayers of decision making involving various specialized agencies. Government needs advice on these issues by past experiences in similar situations. An attempt is made to understand these forces for conducive developmental process in changing times. Krishna valley region is chosen as it experiencing rapid migration tendencies and change of climatic conditions along with changing river course due to soil erosion and levels of water courses. This article Concludes in organizational and strategic decision making systems for positive development and conservation of settlements of historic value. KEYWORDS: Developmental Process, Historic value, Social grouping, Strategic decision making.
