People are now seems quite concerned about a variety of problems like global warming, decreasing oxigen^draughts^ famines^floods, scarcity of fuel, firewood and fodder, water and air pollution, etc. which have adverse effects on the environment. The most inportant issue for the survival of human beings is "the protection of environment and ecosystem,which is highly inportant for the fullfilment of human needs because resources are not unlimited in the environment and decreasing day by day. An ecosystem may be defined as a functioning interacting system conposed of one or more living organisms and their effective environment, both physical and biological. The environment includes air, water and the inter-relationship which exists among them. Any disturbance to any of these factors have inevitable repercussions on others. The interaction of Man-land-and resources and their utilization occupies a vital position when one talks of ecology, ecosystem and ecological Imblance and conservation.

Geography>,whlle dealing with environment and environmental lssues^,adds an important dimension as It basically interprets complex environmental Issues on an anthropogenetic^ transformat­ ion matrix. Food chains systems of energy transfer and chemical element recycling achieve natural balance and sequence within undisturbed ecosystems. Humans, however, have had a long record of altering the smooth flow of these cycles. The inpact of humans upon the environment are conplex and are never isolated. An external action that impinges upon any part of the web of nature Inevitably triggers chain reactloas. The ultimate inpact of which appears never to be fully anticipated. Human Intervenes^ and fragile structxire of the environment disrupts and this process is on increase rapidly. Human beings are part of the natxural envlronmenty and depend for their lines on the water^ air- food and energy resour­ ces that the biosphere contains. It Is well established fact that human can not manipulate^distort, pollute or dlstroy any part of the ecosystem without diminishing its quality or dls- trupting its structure. vlll The Increasing population and poverty are the fundamen­ tal causes which make people over-exploit the natural resources of the country like land, forest and water for meeting their basic needs for enployment, for shelter for fuel and fodder for their cattle. It Is widely recognized that population growth Is essentially the result of poverty and lack of educat­ ion. However, the change of environment by human action is as old as the history of humans themself. Like other parts of the country the Rohllkhand division of Uttar Pradesh is also facing environmental problems. Rohllkhand cortprlses seven districts namely Barellly, Bijnor, Badaun, Moradabad, Shahjahanpur, Pilibhit and Raitpur. Rohllkhand is a part of Indo-Ganga alluvial tract and has an area about 30 544 sq. kms. The whole region is a fertile plain and the main rivers that pass through it are Ganga, Ramganga, Gomatl, Deoha, Aril, K^l and Sarda etc. The population of this region in 1951 was 850 3282 and in 1981 was 13168240 of U.P.inthese two decades the population has Increased about 35.42 per cent. Since land is the basic resource for providing the need of the people. The population growth directly effects the land and its forest.• In 1951 area under forest was 528852 hectares while in 1981 it reduced to only 186194 hectares .In these three decadeJ^the forest area reduced very fast about 64.7 per cent. The deforestation increases Ix the land degradation, which may be due to the soil erosion etc. The rapid development In Industrialization of this region affected the deforestation directly for its demand for land, wood, and other types of raw materials. These industries claimed their share for forest land. The registered factories under "Factory Act 1948" in 196-0 were 145 while in 1988 the number of factories increased to 929v these Industries are also responsible for the envircffimental problems. The present study aims at applying the theoritical postulates like industrialization, agriculture, population growth^etC;,on the ecological conditions of Rohilkhand. In this dissertation the scheme of chapters is as follows. Chapter-I contains the physical structvire, drainage system, soil and climate of Rohilkhand division. Chapter-II deals with the agricultural and industrial development in the region. The chapter-Ill has been devoted to the human environment. The main attributes of the population that has been taken for discussion are the trends in the growth rates, density, sex- * ratio,the religious cortposltlon and the population engaged in primary, secondary and tertiary activities. In the IVth chapter an attenpt has been made to study the pattern of ecology in Rohilkhand, and chapter-V gives a review of the work so far done.

  • 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.

SINHA* K.G.K. College, MORADABAD (U.P.) INDIA aSinghania University (Raj.) INDIA bCollege of Engineering, Teerthanker Mahaveer University, MORADABAD (U.P.) INDIA ABSTRACT Underground water samples at ten different water sites of public places were collected and analyzed for different water quality parameters following standard methods of sampling and estimation. The water quality index has been calculated for all the sites using the data of all parameters and WHO drinking water standards. The calculated data reveals that the underground water at Sambhal, Moradabad is severely polluted invariably at all the sites of study. The present study suggests that people exposed to this water are prone to health hazards of polluted drinking water. Key words: Water quality, Water quality index, Unit weight, Quality rating. INTRODUCTION Though water is renewable resource, improper management and reckless use of water systems are causing serious threats to the availability and quality of water1-3. It is the duty of scientists to test the available water in any locality in and around any residential area. As a part of society, it is a must. Attention on water pollution and its management has become a need of hour because of far reaching impact on human health4,5. Moradabad is a ‘B’ class city of western Uttar Pradesh.

Division wise‐ As the graph shows, 96 percent of the FRUs on an average are offering this service, with as many as 13 divisions having 100 percent FRUs contacted providing basic Hb test. Hemoglobin test is not available at District Women Hospital (Mau), District Women Hospital (Budaun), CHC Partawal (Maharajganj), CHC Kasia (Kushinagar), CHC Ghatampur (Kanpur Nagar) and CHC Dewa (Barabanki). 132 8.2 CBC Test ‐ State level Complete Blood Count (CBC) test is being offered at very few FRUs. While none of the sub‐divisional hospitals are having this facility, only 25 percent of the BMCs, 42 percent of the CHCs and less than half of the DWHs contacted are offering this facility. Division wise‐ As per the graph above, only 46 percent of the 206 FRUs studied across the state are offering CBC (Complete Blood Count) test service. None of the FRUs in Jhansi division is having this service. While 29 percent of the health facilities in Moradabad division are offering this service, most others are only a shade better.

    Final Report STUDY ON COUNTER MAGNET AREAS TO DELHI & NCR 6. PROPOSED CMA’S DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 6.1 Introduction There are two types of development envisaged for the proposed CMA’s (i) economic development and (ii) infrastructure / urban development. Both are inter-dependent; however without prior infrastructure development, economic development is not feasible. The CMA development strategy already accepted consists of extended decentralization strategy of NCR with three areas of intervention i.e. upgradation of regional linkages, improvement of economic base and upgradation of urban infrastructure through urban development. The strategy is extended for the proposed CMA’s by identification of specific projects for (i) development of economic base and (ii) infrastructure / urban development projects by developing urban extensions / New Towns. The development of regional transport linkages is to take place through the development programmes of NHAI with these CMA’s getting priority. The urban extension / New Town development would facilitate the development of major markets and high order health education and socio-cultural facilities. For District / City Profile of proposed CMA’s, Refer Annexure VIII 6.2 Economic Development 6.2.1 Investment Environment and Potential India is among the key global investment destinations. Almost all sectors of the economy have seen a surge in growth and performance of industrial production, which makes up a quarter of the economy, is being spurred by rising incomes and savings. Structural reforms have had a positive impact on the investment climate in the country. Conventional indicators suggest that investment climate has remained buoyant, reinforced by the spurt in foreign direct investment in the post-liberalization period.

  • 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.
