The sugarcane plant is a tropical plant and has been known in India from earliest times. Its reference is found in Atharva Vedda, before 3000 to 7000 years ago. India is the fourth major sugar producing country in the world, the first being Russia, Brazil and Cuba. Indian sugar industry has lion’s share in accelerating industrialization process and bringing socio-economic changes in under developed rural areas. About 4.5 crore farmers are engaged in sugarcane cultivation in India. Sugar factory (Co-operative, private and public) has been instrumental in initiating a number of entrepreneurial activities in rural India. In Maharashtra 10, 39,000 hectares area under sugarcane cultivation especially in western Maharashtra and 91 lakh million tonnes sugar production (2010-11). In Satara district 70,538 hectares area under sugarcane cultivation and 10 sugar factories are run (2010-11). The first sugar factory was established in 1957-58 namely Shriram Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd. Phaltan. Today 10 sugar factories crushed in Satara district. The increase in sugar cultivated area and growth of sugar industry has manifold effects on socio-economic conditions in the district. This attempt has been made to 2000-01 to 2009-10 area under sugarcane cultivation in Satara district. Key Words- Cultivation, Pattern, Factory, Area, Concentration, Index Introduction decline in productivity in recent decades is a cause of In India, sugarcane is an important commercial crop. It is great concern. Sugarcane is also the second most widely grown is different parts of the country. At present important cash crop covering less than three per cent of India is the fourth major sugar producing country in the the total cropped area of the State, but it utilizes more world, the first being Russia, Brazil and Cuba. Sugar than 60 per cent of the total water available for irrigation industry occupies an important place among organized in the State. In Maharashtra there are 124 sugar industries in India. Sugar industry one of the major agro- factories in co-operative sector and 46 sugar factories based industrial in India has been instrumental in are in private sector. No other agro based industry can resource mobilization, employment generation and compete with it having great impact on the economic creating social infrastructure in rural areas. At present conditions of the farmers, who constitute the bulk of there are 693 registered sugar factories, which are share holders of the factories, which are mostly in co- mostly in co-operative sector; sugar industries can operative sector; therefore sugar industries can provide provide number of growth centers in rural India. In India number of growth centers in rural Maharashtra.

SHRI HARISH DWIVEDI Will the Minister of JAL SHAKTI be pleased to state: (a) the number and names of dams older than ten years across the country, State-wise; (b) whether the Government has conducted any study regarding safety of dams; and (c) if so, the outcome thereof? ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI & SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT (SHRI RATTAN LAL KATARIA) (a) As per the data related to large dams maintained by Central Water Commission (CWC), there are 4968 large dams in the country which are older than 10 years. The State-wise list of such dams is enclosed as Annexure-I. (b) to (c) Safety of dams rests primarily with dam owners which are generally State Governments, Central and State power generating PSUs, municipalities and private companies etc. In order to supplement the efforts of the State Governments, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (DoWR,RD&GR) provides technical and financial assistance through various schemes and programmes such as Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Programme (DRIP). DRIP, a World Bank funded Project was started in April 2012 and is scheduled to be completed in June, 2020. The project has rehabilitation provision for 223 dams located in seven States, namely Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand. The objectives of DRIP are : (i) Rehabilitation and Improvement of dams and associated appurtenances (ii) Dam Safety Institutional Strengthening (iii) Project Management Further, Government of India constituted a National Committee on Dam Safety (NCDS) in 1987 under the chairmanship of Chairman, CWC and representatives from State Governments with the objective to oversee dam safety activities in the country and suggest improvements to bring dam safety practices in line with the latest state-of-art consistent with Indian conditions.

    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.

Dept. SGP-Atigre 1. Definition of Hydro-Electric Power Plant: A generating station which utilizes the potential energy of water at a high level for the generation of electrical energy is known as a hydro-electric power station. 2. Basic Principal of Hydro-Electric Power Plant. PE↔KE↔ME↔EE (Potential Energy↔ Kinetic Energy ↔Mechanical Energy ↔Electrical Energy) We know that, water is stored in dam by using rain water. This stored water contains Potential energy, due to height or head of dam. When this water is flow towards turbine, at that time the Kinetic Energy is Converted into Mechanical Energy.
