It is an entirely land–locked state, although the outlet to the sea through the port of Kolkata is not far away. Bihar lies mid -way between the humid West Bengal in the east and the sub humid Uttar Pra desh in the west which provides it with a transitional position in respect of climate, economy and culture. It is bounded by Nepal in the north and by Jharkhand in the south. The Bihar plain is divided into two unequal halves by the river Ganga which flows through the middle from west to east. Bihar has witnessed golden period of Indian history. It is the same land where the seeds of the first republic were sown and which cultivated the first crop of democracy. Such fertile is the soil that has given birth to innumerous intellectuals which spread the light o f knowledge and wisdom not only in the country but in the whole world. Nalanda and V ikramshila Universities were the world c lass learning centres. It is a place of the founders of two great religions of the world, Gautam Buddha and Mahavir. The tenth Guru of Sikhism, Guru Govind Singh was born in Patna, the Capital of Bihar. Patna is situated on the bank of the holy river Ganga. The state as it is today has been shaped from its partition from the province of Bengal and most recently after the separation of the tribal southern region now called Jharkhand. The State of Bihar was reorganized on November 15, 2000 with 38 districts of undivided Bihar. It lies mid-way between West Bengal in the east and Uttar Pr adesh in the west. It is bounded by Nepal in the North and by Jharkhand in the south. It is divided into two natural regions viz., North Bihar Plain and South Bihar Plain. The state has several rivers such as Ganga, Sone, Gandak, Ghaghra, Bagmati, Kosi, Bu dhi Gandak, Punpun, etc. Forty - one per cent of cultivated area is flood prone and another forty per cent is drought prone. After the bifurcation, the State is left with cultivable land in the Indo -Gangetic Plain and abundant water, both surface and sub-sur face, for irrigation. Agriculture is the dominant economic activity employing around three quarters of the work force in the State. The primary sector contributes around 38 per cent of the Gross State Domestic Product. Primary crops include rice, cane, whe at, lentils, jute etc. Supplementary crops include oilseeds, pulses, barely, gram and maize and a variety of vegetables. The State is also known of its fruit products like litchi and mango. Some of the major industries in Bihar are Agro -based such as tex tiles, oil mills etc. Industries that are dependent on agriculture are the edible oils mills located at Araria, rice mills located in Rohtas, Buxar and Bhojpur. Numerous sugar mills located in north Bihar. One of the biggest oil refineries in the country i s based at Barauni in Bihar. Bihar is also the sixth largest producer of tobacco in the country. Geography The state embraces some of the most fertile lands of India. Bihar, squeezed in between West Bengal, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh, reaches up to the Himalayas in the north and is completely land locked. Bihar is bounded on the north by Nepal, on the south by Jharkhand, on the east by West Bengal and on the west by Uttar Pradesh. Bihar gets the worst of the cold and the worst of the heat and plenty of floods. Northern portion of Bihar is almost entirely a level tract, while the south is wooded and hilly. Natural Divisions 4 Bihar is traditionally divided into 1. The North Ganga plain 2. The South Ganga plain The North Ganga Plain : It extends from the base of the Terai in the north to the Ganga in the south, covering an area of about 56,980 Sq Km. It spreads over the whole of Tirhut, Saran, Darbhanga and Kosi divisions and has a gentle slope towards the south. The Ganga flows from west to east near the southern margin of the plain. Towards the north and north-west in the east and west Champaran districts, the country begins to undulate and the alluvial plain gives place to broken hilly region known as the Dun or Ramnagar Dun. This consists of a range of low hills. Below these hills, large grassy prairies watered by numerous hill streams extend southwards and eastwards. The soil even at the foot of the hills has no rocky formation and whenever water can be impounded, rich growth of crop is possible. The South Ganga Plain : The alluvial filling south of the Ganga is shallow, a mere veneer and the Peninsular edge is very rugged. Many groups of small craggy hills rise up to 488 meters from islands of bare rock or scrub. In the west, where the stream Sone makes a great deltaic reentrance into the older rocks, this alluvial strip is some 137 Km wide. But in the east where the Rajmahal hills lies on the extreme north-east point of the Peninsula, it goes almost directly on to the Ganga. The river bank itself lies high, except in Bohjpur district and at high water the tributaries are flooded and pushed back. The Punpun valley, parallel to the stream Sone on the east, is thus annually flooded. Both in the north and the south of Ganga, the construction of railways across the drainage causes local but sometimes disastrous water logging and flooding. Some of these temporary inundations are agriculturally useful, either rabi crops are grown on them when they dry out or they are bunted for producing dry weather rice. Climate The cold weather commences early in November and comes to an end in the middle of March. The hot weather then sets in and lasts till the middle of June.

The project include Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme (RLIS) taken up by the Andhra Pradesh government, and the hydel power generation projects taken up by the Telangana government. Historical Background about the dispute over Krishna River A dispute over the sharing of Krishna waters has been ongoing for many decades, beginning with the erstwhile Hyderabad and Mysore states, and later continuing between the successors Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The first Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal (KWDT) was set up in 1969, under the Inter- State River Water Dispute Act, 1956. The report divided the 2060 TMC (thousand million cubic feet) of Krishna water at 75% dependability into three parts amongst Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Afterward, as new grievances arose between the three states, the second KWDT was instituted in 2004. It delivered its report in 2010, which made allocations of the Krishna water at 65% dependability into three parts.

  • VAJIRAM and RAVI Kurukshetra Summary- August 2021 Page 1 1
    1. AGRICULTURE In INDIA – RETROSPECT and FUTURE PROSPECTS Introduction • India is blessed with 20 agri-climatic regions, 15 major climates and 46 soil types, and an amazing variety of agricultural products largely consumed at domestic level. • Around 54.6% of the total workforce still derives its sustenance through direct/indirect employment in agriculture as per the latest census report. • Lack of assured education, unavailability of fertilisers and pesticides held back productivity. While India achieved food security, nutritional security remains elusive. Achievement of Food Security • Productivity – The research of 1950s and 60s on the development of High-Yielding Varieties (HYV), the application of fertilisers and pesticides, etc. has ensured that by 2019 the yields of rice and wheat have respectively increased to 2659 kg/ha and 3507 KG/HA. As a result, the per capita net availability of food-grains has increased from 394.9 g per day in 1951 to 512.6 g per day in 2020. This is impressive given that our population too has quadrupled since Independence. Provision of formal credit has played an enabling role in this. The total production of food grains went up from around 51 million tonnes in 1950–51 to 305 million tonnes in 2020–21. Operation Flood launched in 1970 through the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), has made India the largest producer of milk in the world (19% of the world’s total milk production in 2019 –20). The Green Revolution in cotton production in early 2000s, Blue Revolution in Fisheries, Yellow Revolution in edible oil are other examples. • Agricultural Marketing - Being a State Subject, State Governments enacted Agricultural Produce Market Regulations (APMR) Acts during the 60s and 70s whereby agricultural produce could only be bought by licensed and registered traders in these markets.

BASU has been carved out of Bihar Agricultural University through the BASU Act notified in the Gazette on 29th August, 2016. The university became operational in the Month of June 2017. In a short span of one year, the university has taken rapid strides in all directions. The academic standards have been reinforced while ensuring transparency in administration. Teaching infrastructure, laboratory & field facilities, and allied amenities for students and faculty are being upgraded. These measures have started revamping the image of BASU in the country as evident from increasing number of potential employers coming to our campuses for placement of our students.
