Administrative Atlas, Uttaranchal CENSUS OF INDIA 2001 UTTARANCHAL ADMINISTRATIVE ATLAS DIRECTORATE OF CENSUS OPERATIONS UTTAR PRADESH & UTTARANCHAL The maps included in this publication are based upon Survey of India map with the permission of the Surveyor General of India. The territorial waters of India extend into the sea to a distance of twelve nautical miles measured from the appropriate base line (applicable to India map only). The interstate boundaries between Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya shown in this publication are as interpreted from the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971 but have yet to be verified (applicable to India map only). The state boundaries between Uttaranchal & Uttar Pradesh, Bihar & Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh & Madhya Pradesh have not been verified by government concerned. © Government of India, Copyright 2006. Data Product Number 05-008-2001 - Cen-Atlas (ii) FOREWORD "Few people realize, much less appreciate, that apart from Survey of India and Geological Survey, the Census of India has been perhaps the largest single producer of maps of the Indian sub-continent" - this is an observation made by Dr. Ashok Mitra, an illustrious Census Commissioner of India in 1961. The statement sums up the contribution of Census Organisation which has been working in the field of mapping in the country. The Census Commissionarate of India has been working in the field of cartography and mapping since 1872. A major shift was witnessed during Census 1961 when the office had got a permanent footing. For the first time, the census maps were published in the form of 'Census Atlases' in the decade 1961-71 . Alongwith the national volume, atlases of states and union territories were also published. With the passage of time and in each subsequent census, a number of other products such as DCHB, Town Directory, migration maps, regional division maps and others were added. During the Census 2001 , GIS technology was introduced in Census Commissionarate and Census Directorates which has given a real boost in the field of mapping. Besides the regular publications, a number of new map products such as (i) India Administrative Atlas 1872-2001 - A Historical Perspective, (ii) Language Atlas of India, (iii) Housing Atlas of India, (iv) Scheduled Tribe Atlas of India and (v) Map Profile 2001 India, States and Union territories have been published. Some of the other products are in the pipeline. Administrative Atlas, 2001 of all the States and Union territories has been undertaken for preparation, looking to the demand of DCHB maps among the data users. In this publication, maps of the state, district and sub-district levels have been put together. For convenience of the data users, the publication has been made ready in two parts : Part-I is in regard to the maps showing the evolution of States/Union territories during the period 1872-2001 at decadal level. These maps exhibit the evolution of administrative boundaries in the respective State/Union territory through the entire time period. A brief analytical note has been added to explain the jurisdictional changes to each map. Besides, there are a few thematic maps at state level showing different themes. Few selected key population statistics at States/Union territories level have also been included. Part-II is more current. The first map highlights the changes observed in the administrative boundaries during 1951-2001. This is followed by district and sub-district maps of the respective States/Union territories showing amenities and location code number in the sub-districts adopted during Census 2001 at village level. To read the location code numbers, the names of villages alongwith code numbers are given on the page facing each plate. The gigantic task of the completion of this project was entrusted to Map Division of Census Commissionarate and respective Directorates under the supervision of Dr. R.P. Singh, Ex-Deputy Registrar General (Map) and, now, Consultant (Map). Kum . Sarita, Research Officer (Map) has (iii) supervised this project. The names of others associated with the publication is given to the respective publication. The states and union territories where the Computer Assisted Cartography was not provided, the district, sub-district and thematic maps have been prepared and data compiled at the Map Division of Census Commissionarate. My sincere thanks to all the officers and officials who have contributed and made it possible to bring out this publication. I hope that this will serve the needs of administrators, planners and scholars alike and fill up the gap of basic maps. D.K. Sikri New Delhi Registrar General and 7th September, 2005 Census Commissioner, India (iv) PREFACE Maps play an important role for proper planning of population count. To ensure complete coverage with the reference date 31 st December, 1999 the district and tahsil maps, in the first phase, were prepared with upto-date delineation of administrative boundaries from village level upwards, through tahsil and equivalent administrative levels. On these maps, first time in the Census History, the unique Permanent Location Code Numbers (PLCN) were allocated for each village. In the second phase these maps were digitized with the help GIS software, viz. , ARC­ INFO. After editing and putting permanent location code numbers within village boundary, the population size of villages, location of primary health centre, post office, telegraph office, high school/inter college, bank, road and railway, river were shown on C.D. Block (Vikas Khand) level maps. Town and forest boundaries, and their location code are also shown on these maps. In addition to Vikas Khandwise maps the district maps showing C.D. Block boundaries, tahsil boundaries, roads, railways, degree colleges and technical institutions, villages having 5000 and above population wer-e prepared through computer for all the districts. One can imagine how much effort went into the completion of these maps. The present volume of newly created state Uttaranchal comprises of two parts - Part-I and Part-II . Part-I covers the administrative boundaries at the time of various censuses (1951-1991) as per jurisdiction of Census 2001 . Beside these maps, 9 thematic maps, viz. , Population Growth Rate, Distribution of Population, Density of Population, Sex Ratio, Sex Ratio in age group 0-6, Literacy, Female Literacy, Growth of Towns, Main Workers are given in this part. Besides Part-II of this volume deals with districts and Vikas Khand maps as stated above. This Atlas is very useful for administrators, technocrats specially those engaged in planning and for scholars engaged in the field of research and require ready made frame for their projects. I am deeply indebted to Shri J.K. Banthia, Ex-Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India and his predecessor Shri O.K. Sikri, the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India for providing us valuable guidance and encouragement in completing this project. I must express my deep gratitude to Dr. R.P. Singh, Ex-Deputy Registrar General (Map) now consultant (Map), who provided valuable technical guidance for this project. I also express my thanks to Shri J.C.

  • The Emergence of the Mahajanapadas
    The Emergence of the Mahajanapadas Sanjay Sharma Introduction In the post-Vedic period, the centre of activity shifted from the upper Ganga valley or madhyadesha to middle and lower Ganga valleys known in the contemporary Buddhist texts as majjhimadesha. Painted grey ware pottery gave way to a richer and shinier northern black polished ware which signified new trends in commercial activities and rising levels of prosperity. Imprtant features of the period between c. 600 and 321 BC include, inter-alia, rise of ‘heterodox belief systems’ resulting in an intellectual revolution, expansion of trade and commerce leading to the emergence of urban life mainly in the region of Ganga valley and evolution of vast territorial states called the mahajanapadas from the smaller ones of the later Vedic period which, as we have seen, were known as the janapadas. Increased surplus production resulted in the expansion of trading activities on one hand and an increase in the amount of taxes for the ruler on the other. The latter helped in the evolution of large territorial states and increased commercial activity facilitated the growth of cities and towns along with the evolution of money economy. The ruling and the priestly elites cornered most of the agricultural surplus produced by the vaishyas and the shudras (as labourers). The varna system became more consolidated and perpetual. It was in this background that the two great belief systems, Jainism and Buddhism, emerged. They posed serious challenge to the Brahmanical socio-religious philosophy. These belief systems had a primary aim to liberate the lower classes from the fetters of orthodox Brahmanism.

  • Conceptual Model for the Vulnerability Assessment of Springs in the Indian Himalayas
    climate Article Conceptual Model for the Vulnerability Assessment of Springs in the Indian Himalayas Denzil Daniel 1 , Aavudai Anandhi 2 and Sumit Sen 1,3,* 1 Centre of Excellence in Disaster Mitigation and Management, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee 247667, India; [email protected] 2 Biological Systems Engineering Program, College of Agriculture and Food Sciences, Florida A&M University, Tallahassee, FL 32307, USA; [email protected] 3 Department of Hydrology, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee 247667, India * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +91-1332-284754 Abstract: The Indian Himalayan Region is home to nearly 50 million people, more than 50% of whom are dependent on springs for their sustenance. Sustainable management of the nearly 3 million springs in the region requires a framework to identify the springs most vulnerable to change agents which can be biophysical or socio-economic, internal or external. In this study, we conceptualize vulnerability in the Indian Himalayan springs. By way of a systematic review of the published literature and synthesis of research findings, a scheme of identifying and quantifying these change agents (stressors) is presented. The stressors are then causally linked to the characteristics of the springs using indicators, and the resulting impact and responses are discussed. These components, viz., stressors, state, impact, and response, and the linkages are used in the conceptual framework to assess the vulnerability of springs. A case study adopting the proposed conceptual model is discussed Citation: Daniel, D.; Anandhi, A.; for Mathamali spring in the Western Himalayas. The conceptual model encourages quantification Sen, S.

  • Caste and Hegemony in Ancient Kumaon
    International Journal of Applied Social Science RESEARCH ARTICLE Volume 5 (8), August (2018) : 1316-1319 ISSN : 2394-1405 Received : 21.06.2018; Revised : 07.07.2018; Accepted : 22.07.2018 Caste and Hegemony in Ancient Kumaon ISHA TAMTA Department of History B.B. Ambedkar University, Lucknow (U.P.) India ABSTRACT Caste in Kumaon, (present Uttrakhand) was not exactly as it is in the plain areas of India. Four fold Varna system which is widely present in the subcontinent is absent in the Hill regions. But so called upper castes enjoyed their privileges and hegemony various areas of social life. The distinction in Kumaon is not only between upper and lower orders but also between the indigenous and later immigrants. The social status between Khasa Rajputs and immigrant Rajputs is a case in point. First and foremost the, the authority and power was held in ownership of both arable and forest lands. Land was held mostly by bith castes and they got it cultivated with the help of Doms. But Doms were not allowed to own a piece of land, although they performed all agricultural operations. Secondly, in administration, only upper castes monopolized all positions in the court of kings. Bith castes competed with each other for getting plum posts in the court of kings. If one sub-caste had gone close to the king, that social group monopolized all positions in the administration, judiciary and even at village assembly level. Thirdly in religious and cultural spheres, hegemony continued in the form of authority to wear Janeo (sacred thread). Khasas and Doms were not allowed to wear sacred thread.

Springs occur where sloping ground and impermeable strata intersect with the ground water table. The water sources of such springs, in most cases are unconfined aquifers where the water flows under gravity. Spring water discharge fluctuations owe primarily due to rainfall pattern in the recharge area or more precisely stated, to variation in the amount of rainwater that is able to infiltrate the ground and recharge the ground water. Marked variation in the discharge following rainfall indicates rapid infiltration of rainwater and recharge of the groundwater in colluvial-related springs, and discharge curves show strongly periodic seasonal rhythm. Superimposed on these variations is a periodic (monthly) fluctuation resulting from occasional heavy rainfalls, generally in the rainy season.

  • The Politicization of the Peasantry in a North Indian State: I*
    The Politicization of the Peasantry in a North Indian State: I* Paul R. Brass** During the past three decades, the dominant party in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (U. P.), the Indian National Congress, has undergone a secular decline in its support in state legislative assembly elections. The principal factor in its decline has been its inability to establish a stable basis of support among the midle peasantry, particularly among the so-called 'backward castes', with landholdings ranging from 2.5 to 30 acres. Disaffected from the Congress since the 1950s, these middle proprietary castes, who together form the leading social force in the state, turned in large numbers to the BKD, the agrarian party of Chaudhuri Charan Singh, in its first appearance in U. P. elections in 1969. They also provided the central core of support for the Janata party in its landslide victory in the 1977 state assembly elections. The politicization of the middle peasantry in this vast north Indian province is no transient phenomenon, but rather constitutes a persistent factor with which all political parties and all governments in U. P. must contend. I Introduction This articlet focuses on the state of Uttar Pradesh (U. P.), the largest state in India, with a population of over 90 million, a land area of 113,000 square miles, and a considerable diversity in political patterns, social structure, and agricul- tural ecology. My purpose in writing this article is to demonstrate how a program of modest land reform, designed to establish a system of peasant proprietorship and reenforced by the introduction of the technology of the 'green revolution', has, in the context of a political system based on party-electoral competition, enhanced the power of the middle and rich peasants.
