Rogers Myron Weiner a ........ .................. ..... .......... C/77-5 INTERNAL MIGRATION POLICIES IN AN INDIAN STATE: A CASE STUDY OF THE MULKI RULES IN HYDERABAD AND ANDHRA K.V. Narayana Rao Migration and Development Study Group Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1977 Preface by Myron Weiner This study by Dr. K.V. Narayana Rao, a political scientist and Deputy Director of the National Institute of Community Development in Hyderabad who has specialized in the study of Andhra Pradesh politics, examines one of the earliest and most enduring attempts by a state government in India to influence the patterns of internal migration. The policy of intervention began in 1868 when the traditional ruler of Hyderabad State initiated steps to ensure that local people (or as they are called in Urdu, mulkis) would be given preferences in employment in the administrative services, a policy that continues, in a more complex form, to the present day. A high rate of population growth for the past two decades, a rapid expansion in education, and a low rate of industrial growth have combined to create a major problem of scarce employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh as in most of India and, indeed, in many countries in the third world. It is not surprising therefore that there should be political pressures for controlling the labor market by those social classes in the urban areas that are best equipped to exercise political power.

K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • Polavaram: a Disaster in the Making and a Coastal Andhra Sin
    Polavaram: A Disaster in the Making and a Coastal Andhra Sin By Gautam Pingle - HYDERABAD Published: 10th February 2014 09:36 AM http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra_pradesh/Polavaram-A-Disaster- in-the-Making--a-Coastal-Andhra- Sin/2014/02/10/article2048570.ece#.UvhTJfuHPgE THE AP State Reorganisation Bill2013, as approved by the Union cabinet on February 7, has given the Polavaram irrigation project an orange (not green) light. It gives 397 inundation villages in Bhadrachalam and Palvancha divisions in Khammam district to Seemandhra. It also says the future Telangana government is “deemed to consent” to Polavaram _ a measure the Supreme Court will strike down. Polavaram is supposed to irrigate huge acreage, stabilise the Godavari Delta for the second and third crops and divert Godavari water to further stabilise the Krishna Delta for three crops. It also hopes to provide drinking and irrigation water to north coastal Andhra. The reservoir will inundate 397 tribal villages and flood thousands of acres of valuable forest land. Nearly 2.5 lakh tribal people will be displaced from their homes in Bhadrachalam alone. It will create a problem five times bigger than the Narmada Sagar dam where only 60,000 tribal people were displaced. Chhattisgarh and Odisha have moved the Supreme Court against the project and tribal displacement. The Union ministry of environment and forests, on February 8, 2011, directed the state not to start construction and to reduce the dam’s height to minimise inundation. But the Seemandhra’s contention is that reducing the height of the dam will prevent diversion of Godavari water to the Krishna Delta.

  • Pattern of Development in India - a Study of Andhra Pradesh
    Pattern of Development in India - A Study of Andhra Pradesh SER Division Planning Commission Government of India Main Findings of the Study Andhra Pradesh was formed on 1st November 1956. It comprises of Coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana regions. Each region has its own distinct characteristics. It is the fifth largest state in terms of the area in our country. There is significant improvement in literacy level of the rural population during 1990's. But the employment opportunities have not improved. As a result, there is huge stock of educated unemployed constituting both male and female in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh. Although, the state has achieved remarkable progress in establishing schools, Junior Colleges and Degree colleges during 1980-81 and 2000-01, most of them were in private sector. The number of high schools increased from 4106 to 10,359, Junior Colleges 398 to 2449, Degree Colleges 450 to 1157 during the same time. There is marketisation of education in Andhra Pradesh in recent years. Only the elite class children could reap the benefits of private education. 113 The economy of the state is basically agrarian in character. The percentage of irrigated area is very low i.e., below 40 percent. The plan allocations by the state Government for irrigation had been declining from plan to plan. Though the state is well endowed with natural resources and minerals, it is lagging behind other states in the country with regard to per capital income, literacy level and other parameters. There is no significant improvement in the number of hospitals/ dispensaries available in the state during 1980-81 and 2000-01.

  • Minutes of the 8Th Project Implementation Review Committee
    MINUTES OF THE 8TH PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW COMMITTEE (PIRC) MEETING FOR CADWM IMPLEMENTATION OF 99 PRIORITIZED IRRIGATION PROJECTS UNDER PMKSY HELD ON 4th MARCH, 2021 1.0 The 8th meeting of the Project Implementation Review Committee (PIRC) for CADWM implementation of 99 prioritized projects was organized over virtual platform on 4th March, 2021 under the Chairmanship of Smt. Debashree Mukherjee, Additional Secretary, DoWR, RD & GR, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Govt. of India. The PIRC meeting which usually would be a two day program consisting of field visit and a review meeting was shortened and the field visit was eliminated due to present COVID scenario. Senior officers from DoWR, RD & GR, Central Water Commission, State Governments and Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) attended the meeting. The list of participants is at Annexure- I and summary record of PIRC decisions and recommendations is given at Annexure-II. Photographs taken during the meeting are at Annexure-III. 2.0 Additional Secretary, DoWR, RD & GR, in her opening remarks to the participants expressed concerns over the slow implementation of the CADWM program. She also emphasized the importance of the Command Area Development Program and further stated that command area development is the keystone for equitable access of water, without which all the investments on the dam & canal network will go in vain. She highlighted two critical aspects for the CADWM implementation, namely: (i) completing the CAD works within stipulated time frame, and (ii) ensuring the sustainable Water User Association (WUAs) that can take on the responsibility for the management of completed CAD assets. She further stressed that WUAs should be involved in the CAD planning right from the inception stage of the program under each project.

  • Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India
    ® Fruit, Vegetable and Cereal Science and Biotechnology ©2010 Global Science Books Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India Ram Chandra* • Deodas Tarachand Meshram National Research Centre on Pomegranate, NH-9 By-pass Road, Shelgi, Solapur 413 006, Maharashtra, India Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in India, making up the majority of the southern part of the country, ranging in elevation from 100 m in the north to 1000 m in the south. The main pomegranate producing areas are distributed between 300 and 950 m above mean sea level in hot arid and semi-arid regions having tropical and subtropical climate. Interestingly, the major production of pomegranate in India is from Deccan Plateau, especially from Maharashtra followed by Karnataka. The agro-climatic condition of Deccan Plateau is congenial for staggering of pomegranate production throughout the year. Maharashtra contributes about 84% in area and 75% in production of pomegranate in Deccan Plateau. Mainly three flowering seasons viz. winter (January-February flowering), rainy season (June-July flowering) and autumn season (September-October flowering) are promoted for fruit production in this plateau. In the present paper, information pertaining to Deccan Plateau and its climatic and soil conditions and existing cultivation practices of pomegranate has been envisaged. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: climatic conditions of Deccan

  • Are You Suprised ? F…
    1.0 INTRODUCTION The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 has been aimed to fulfill the water quality requirement of designated-best-uses of all the natural aquatic resources. Loss of bio-diversity on account of degradation of habitat has become the cause of major concern in recent years. Central Pollution Control Board, while executing the nation wide responsibility for water quality monitoring and management has established water quality monitoring network in the country. The Water Quality Monitoring Network constitutes 784 monitoring stations located on various water bodies all over the country. However, wetland areas have not been included as part of regular water quality monitoring network in the country. Keeping in view the importance of water quality of wetland areas, Central Pollution Control Board has initiated studies on Bio-monitoring of selected wetlands in wildlife habitats of the country. Bio monitoring of wetlands in wild life sanctuaries has been considered as most suitable measure to evaluate the health of wildlife ecosystem. Further, the monitoring of environmental variables will be immensely helpful in protecting and restoring the ecological status in these threatened habitats. 2.0 CPCB’S INITIATIVES FOR BIO-MONITORING OF WETLANDS Under the Indo-Dutch collaborative project, the development of bio- monitoring methodology for Indian river water quality evaluation was initiated during 1988. The Central Pollution Control Board carried out a pilot study on the River Yamuna for a selected stretch from Delhi upstream to Etawah downstream. The main objective of this study was to formulate strategic methods, which can be accepted in scientific and legislative framework for water quality evaluation.

  • Additional Exploratory Drilling of 13 Wells in KG Basin On-Land PML Acreages of East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh
    Additional Exploratory Drilling of 13 wells in KG Basin on-land PML acreages of East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh Intensive exploration is being carried out in KG on-land erstwhile PEL-1A and PEL-1B blocks of Krishna Godavari Basin. Based on the hydrocarbon discoveries made so far and the upside hydrocarbon potential in the blocks, they have been converted to PML blocks for periods ranging from 7 to 20 years. The Godavari on-land PML including the smaller ML areas within constitutes erstwhile PEL- 1B Block of the KG On-land Basin with an approximate area of 3090 Sq. Km and is having mining lease period from seven to twenty years. East Godavari district constitutes about 1807 Sq. Km of Godavari on-land PML (including Endamuru, Mandapeta, Mandapeta west, Enugupalli, Manepalli extension, Tatipaka-Pasarlapudi, Adavipalem-Ponmanda, Srikatapalli- Pasarlrapudi-24 & Gopavaram, Mori, Kesavadasupalem and Kesanapalli PML areas). The relentless exploratory inputs expended by ONGC in the acreages falling in West Godavari district lead to a good number of discoveries and leads. Twelve hydrocarbon bearing fields viz. Tatipaka, Pasarlapudi, Srikatapalli Gopavaram, Mori, Kesavadasupalem, Adavipalem, Ponmanda, Mandapeta, Endamuru, Rangapuram and Bhimanapalli were established so far. Carpet 3D seismic survey with improved imaging of the sub-surface has significantly changed the exploration scenario in the block, yielding discovery of Kothalanka, Geddanapalli, Vygreswaram and Mandapeta South oil fields. Based on these leads, exploring Synrift sediments attain significance for further Hydrocarbon exploration and this block has large upside potential. Based on the Geological and Geophysical studies locations are firmed up for exploratory drilling to probe new prospects and also to delineate the existing oil and gas pools of the established fields.
