AJUDHYA NATH KHOSLA Elected Fellow 1951
AJUDHYA NATH KHOSLA Elected Fellow 1951 "An eminent engineer, an able administrator and a generous human being" will be the epithets by which AJUDHYA NATH KHOSLAwill be known to the posterity in India. Belonging to a generation of Indians, born when the country was under foreign domination, Dr Xhosla was proud to be an Indian and had great confidence in the capabilities of Indian engineers. There is no doubt that he had few equals to match his qualities, achievements and abilities. EARLYLIFE AND EDUCATION Ajudhya Nath Khosla was born in Jullunder City in the Punjab on December 11, 1892. He had his early education at the Government High School and later at the Anglo-Sanskrit H~ghSchool, Jullunder, from which he passed his Matric exami- nation in 1908. He had his college education at the DAV College, Lahore, from where he graduated in Arts (Hons) in 1912 securing the first position in the University ' and the highest marks in mathematics. Young Khosla joined the Thomson College of Civil Engineering, Roorkee in October 1913 and graduated with honours. Soon after passing out from the Engineering College, in July 1916, he joined the Punjab Public Works Department (Irrigation Branch). It is interesting to note that his first assignment was to investigate and survey connected with Bhakra Dam Project, a major challenge faced and overcame by him with great distinction in later life. The dam, one of the highest in the world, stands on the same axis as he had proposed in 1917 as an apprentice engineer. From July 1918 to March 1920, during the First World War, he was with the Mesopotamia Expeditionary Force in Iraq as a Commissioned Officer, when he made his first original contribution to engineering by designing Khosla Disc for precision levelling across rivers and wide valleys. -

THEIR OWN COUNTRY :A Profile of Labour Migration from Rajasthan
THEIR OWN COUNTRY A PROFILE OF LABOUR MIGRATION FROM RAJASTHAN This report is a collaborative effort of 10 civil society organisations of Rajasthan who are committed to solving the challenges facing the state's seasonal migrant workers through providing them services and advocating for their rights. This work is financially supported by the Tata Trust migratnt support programme of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Allied Trusts. Review and comments Photography Jyoti Patil Design and Graphics Mihika Mirchandani All communication concerning this publication may be addressed to Amrita Sharma Program Coordinator Centre for Migration and Labour Solutions, Aajeevika Bureau 2, Paneri Upvan, Street no. 3, Bedla road Udaipur 313004, Ph no. 0294 2454092 [email protected], [email protected] Website: www.aajeevika.org This document has been prepared with a generous financial support from Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Allied Trusts In Appreciation and Hope It is with pride and pleasure that I dedicate this report to the immensely important, yet un-served, task of providing fair treatment, protection and opportunity to migrant workers from the state of Rajasthan. The entrepreneurial might of Rajasthani origin is celebrated everywhere. However, much less thought and attention is given to the state's largest current day “export” - its vast human capital that makes the economy move in India's urban, industrial and agrarian spaces. The purpose of this report is to bring back into focus the need to value this human capital through services, policies and regulation rather than leaving its drift to the imperfect devices of market forces. Policies for labour welfare in Rajasthan and indeed everywhere else in our country are wedged delicately between equity obligations and the imperatives of a globalised market place. -

Census Atlas, Part IX-B, Vol-XIV, Rajasthan
PRG. 173 B (N) (Ordy.) 1,000 CENSUS OF INDIA 1961 VOLUME XIV RAJASTHAN PART IX-B CENSUS ATLAS C. S. GUPTA OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE Superintendent of Census Op~rations, RajalJhan 1969 FOREWORD FEW PEOPLE REALIZE, much less appreciate, that apart from the Survey of India and the Geological Survey, the Census of India had' been perhaps the largest single producer of maps of the Indian subcontinent. Intimate collaboration between geographer and demographer began quite early in the modern era, almost two centuries before the first experiments in a permanent decennial Census were made in the 1850's. For example, the population estimates of Fort St. George, Madras, made in 1639 and 1648, and of Masulipatnam and Bombay by Dr. John Fryer, around 1672-73 were supported by cartographic documents of no mean order, Tbe first detailed modern maps, the results of Major James Rennell's stupendous Survey of 1767-74, were published in 1778-1780 and Henry Taylor Colebrooke, almost our first systematic demographer, was quick to make good use of them by making estimates of population in the East India Company's Possessions in the 1780's. Upjohn's map of Calcutta City, drawn in 1792.93, reprinted in the Census Report of Calcutta for 195 I, gives an idea of the standards of cartographic excellence reached at that period. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, Francis Buchanan Hamilton improved upon Colebrooke's method in which he was undoubtedly helped by the improved maps prepared for the areas he surve ed. It is possible that the Great Revenue Survey, begun in the middle of the last century, offered the best guarantee of the success of decennial population censuses proposed shortly before the Mutiny of 1857. -

Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Content About CSIR: The Industrial Intelligence and Research Bureau was set up in April 1935. At the onset of World War II in 1939, by the efforts of Arcot Ramaswamy Mudaliar, a member Board of Scientific and Industrial Research(BSIR) was created on 1 April 1940 for a period of two years. Mudaliar became the chair of the board. It was at this point that Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar was appointed as the Director. Major achievements of BSIR included development of the techniques for the purification of Balochistan sulphur anti-gas cloth manufacture, vegetable oil blends as fuel and lubricants, plastic packing cases for army boots and ammunition, dyes for uniforms and the preparation of vitamins, and the invention of a pyrethrum emulsifier and cream. Bhatnagar persuaded the government to set up an Industrial Research Utilisation Committee (IRUC) in early 1941 for further investment into industrial research. The constitution of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) as an autonomous body was prepared under Mudaliar and Bhatnagar which came into operation on 26 September 1942. -
