  • Executive Summary Block and Village Development Plan, Palwal, Haryana
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Block and Village Development Plan for Palwal, Haryana, 2031 The block and village development plan for Palwal 2031 as a Studio exercise has been taken up in second semester to prepare a sub-regional plan of substantial geographical size having a rural and urban composition. The analysis was carried out in four phases: pre-study, literature survey and identification of villages, field survey comprising of qualitative and quantitative data collection, data analysis data and identification of issues and potentials, followed by formulation of policies and proposals. The study has integrated sectoral and spatial planning approach. Various sectors such as regional setting, demography, economy, traffic and transportation, housing, infrastructure, environment, disaster management, governance and finance are studied. The spatial approach is achieved by dealing with each sector, their spatial distribution and areal differentiation. The interrelationship between each sector and the spatial pattern of development is analyzed. Palwal district being part of National Capital Region (N.C.R.) and Haryana sub-region is proposed as a regional centre in 2021. It serves as a potential region for economic development in Palwal as well as adjoining districts. Moreover, the Dedicated Freight Corridor (D.F.C.) alignment along with Kundli Manesar Palwal (K.M.P.) and Kundli Ghaziabad Palwal (K.G.P.) expressway is passing through Palwal, giving a boost to economic development of the district. This development shall trickle down to rural region for balanced regional development. Hence, a plan is required for inducing uniform development over the space. iii Regional Connectivity: Figure 1: Regional Connectivity of Palwal Block Palwal District is strategically located with respect to the whole NCR and is well connected by both Road and rail network.

Shekhawat Assistant Professor Department of Agricultural Economics SKN Agricultural College, Jobner (Raj.)Email Id: premsaa72@gmail. Abstract During the five year plan 2012-2017 year. Haryana state’s GSDP compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.96 percent. The Current year prices of Haryana state’s total GSDP US$85 billion in 2016-17. Haryana agriculture’s contribution of 7 percent export in agricultural sector. The production and productivity of wheat and rice in India has reached at saturation point. But the farmers of agriculturally advanced states like Punjab and Haryana still preferring to grow the wheat and rice even aware about the problems created by this crop rotation in terms of degrading the soil health and depleting water level. Moreover, profitability from these crops has almost stagnated due to stagnating yields and increasing input expenses including human labour. In such situation, crop diversification towards coarse cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables and commercial crops will be a future strategy to increase the income of the farmers and sustain the natural resources from further degradation. In this background, the diversification from traditional crops to commercial crops in and blocks level as well as district in fatehabad of Haryana assumes special significance and this study is planned to focus on these concerns.

  • Changing Patterns of Ground Water Level in Fatehabad District of Haryana, India
    Journal of Environment and Earth Science www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3216 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0948 (Online) Vol.6, No.4, 2016 Changing Patterns of Ground Water Level in Fatehabad District of Haryana, India Sandeep Kumar 1 Pooja Rani 2 Hardeep Rai Sharma 3* 1. Environment and Disaster Management, Haryana Institute of Rural Development, Nilokheri,PIN 132117, Haryana, India 2. Department of Economics, Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila Vishwavidyala, Khanpur Kalan, PIN 131305, Haryana, India 3. Institute of Environmental Studies, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, PIN 136119, Haryana, India Abstract Ground water is the world largest freshwater resource used in agriculture for irrigation. Ground water level in paddy cultivating region in Haryana is depleting very fast, threatening the future of agriculture productivity in one of the largest farming state in India. The aim of this study was to assess the trends in ground water level in the Fatehabad district of Haryana, India. Rapid increase in area under rice-cultivation, electric sets for pumping deep water and decrease in cultivation of less water requirement crops like pearl millet are the possible reasons behind rapid decline of ground water. In the present paper different factors like ground water level, area under rice cultivation, fertilizers consumption pattern and electric set were studied for the period between 2005 to 2013 in the Fatehabad district. The area under rice cultivation has increased from 31.67 to 40.36% with increased number of electric sets from 18542 to 31163 in 2005-06 to 2012-13, respectively. Area under pearl millet cultivation has also declined to 22.6 % in 2012-13 as compared to 2005-06.
