At that time the State had four districts viz. Chamba, Mahasu, Mandi and Sirmaur and its area was 25,839 sq. kms. Later in 1951, it became a part “C” State under a Governor with a 36 Member Legislative Assembly and a three member cabinet. In 1954, Bilaspur, another part ‘C’ State was merged with Himachal Pradesh thereby adding one more district with an area of 1,168 sq. kms. And the strength of its Assembly was raised to 41. In 1956, despite the majority recommendations of the State Re-organization Commission for its merger with Punjab, Himachal Pradesh retained its separate entity. On November 1, 1956 it again became a Union Territory under an Administrator designated as Lieutenant Governor and its Assembly was abolished. In 1960, a new border district of Kinnaur was carved out of Mahasu district. Then in 1963, Assembly was revived and a popular Ministry was formed. Till October, 1966 the old Himachal Pradesh comprised the six hill districts of Bilaspur, Chamba, Kinnaur, Mahasu, Mandi and Sirmaur with an area of 27,007 sq. kms. Having a population of 13, 51,144 persons (1951 Census). On 1st November, 1966, it was enlarged by merging the district of Kangra, Shimla, Kullu, Lahaul-Spiti, the Nalagarh tehsil of Ambala district, some parts of Una tehsil of Hoshiarpur district and Dalhousie of Gurdaspur district of the then Punjab State. With this merger the total area of Himachal Pradesh increased to 55,673 sq. kms. And its population to 28,12,463(1961 Census).Now it comprised the Districts of Bilaspur, Chamba, Kangra, Kinnaur, Kullu,Lahaul-Spiti,Mahasu, Mandi, Shimla and Sirmaur. On 25th January, 1971,Himachal Pradesh attained Statehood. Reorganizations of the districts took place on 1st September, 1972 as a consequence whereof two more new districts namely Una and Hamirpur were created mainly as a result of trifurcation of the erstwhile Kangra district. Also from the then existing districts of Mahasu and Shimla, new districts of Shimla and Solan were formed by reorganizing the boundaries of old districts. Presently, the strength of Legislative Assembly of Himachal Pradesh is 68. To the Union Legislature, Himachal Pradesh is represented by 4 Members to Lok Sabha and 3 Members to Rajya Sabha. There are Five Govt. Universities in the Pradesh. One for general education with its seat at Shimla, the other Agricultural University with its seat at Palampur, the third is Horticulture and Forestry University with its seat at Nauni(Solan),Fourth Technical University with its seat at Hamirpur and Fifth is Center University with its seat at Dharamshala in Kangra District (H.P.) (a) Physical Features: Himachal Pradesh is almost wholly mountainous with altitudes ranging from 350 metres to 6,975 metres above the mean sea level. Its location is between Latitude 30o 22’40” N to 33o 12’40” N and Longitude 75o 45’55”E to 79o 04’20” E. It has deeply dissected topography complex geological structure and a rich temperate flora in the sub-tropical latitudes. Physiographically, the State can be divided in to five zones-viz. (i) Wet Sub-temperate zone, (ii) humid sub-temperate zone, (iii) dry temperate-alpine high lands, (iv) humid sub-tropical zone, and (v) sub-humid sub-tropical zone. Wet sub-temperate zone comprises Palampur and Dharamshala of Kangra district, Jogindernagar area of Mandi district and Dalhousie area of Chamba district, humid sub-temperate zone comprises the district of Kullu, Shimla, parts of Mandi, Solan, Chamba, Kangra and Sirmaur, Dry temperate- Alpine High lands include major parts of Lahaul-Spiti, Pangi and Kinnaur, humid sub-tropical zone consists of Bilaspur, Bhattiyat valley of District Chamba, Nalagarh area of District Solan, Dehragopipur and Nurpur areas of district Kangra and sub-humid tropical zone comprises of District Una, Paonta-Sahib area of District Sirmaur, and Indora area of District Kangra.

In the year 2018, the rainfall of the State is 1182.2 mm and the maximum rainfall is recorded in Kangra District. Soils: The soils of Himachal Pradesh can be broadly divided into nine groups on the basis of their development and physiochemical properties. These groups are alluvial soils, brown hill soils, brown earths, brown forest soils, grey wooded or podzolic soils, grey brown podzolic soils, plansolic soils, humus and iron podzols and Alpine humus mountain skeletal soils. Rivers: Rivers which flow through this State are Beas in Kullu, Mandi and Kangra districts, Satluj in Kinnaur, Shimla and Bilaspur districts, Yamuna has its tributaries in Shimla and Sirmaur districts, Chenab (Chander Bhaga) flows through Lahaul-Spiti and Chamba districts and Ravi through Chamba district.

    Himachal Pradesh State Road Project Feasibility Report Social Screening & ME Framework CHAPTER 11 – SOCIAL SCREENING & ME FRAMEWORK 11.1 NEED FOR SOCIAL SCREENING The Himachal Pradesh State Road Project primarily envisages improvement and rehabilitation of State Highway, Major District Roads of the state. The improvement works will consist mainly in raising the formation level, upgrading/improvement of road geometrics, widening, road stretches crossing urban areas may also require upgrading to a two-lane cross section, and/or provision for drains, sidewalks and parking where required. In some cases, new alignments (by- passes) and/or re-alignments may also be required. Improvement and rehabilitation work would entail land acquisition, adverse impact on structures, other assets and sources of earning, religious properties, impact on common properties such as bus stops, hand pumps, etc. The Government of India, the World Bank and the Government of Himachal Pradesh recognizes the need for addressing social issues at very beginning stage of any development project for minimizing adverse impacts and maximizing the benefits through equitable distribution. 11.2 CRITERIA FOR SOCIAL SCREENING Social screening of roads has been undertaken keeping in view the following parameters: (a) presence of number of residential, commercial and residential cum commercial properties within the direct impact zone (b) Existence of religious properties in project impact zone (c) likely Impact on public services (d) likely impact on public utilities (e) average land holding size (f) percentage of SC population (g) percentage of ST population.

The monitoring commenced in the year 1969 with the establishment of 3 observation wells and since, then the number of monitoring station are being increased regularly so as to get the overall picture of ground water scenario in different hydrogeological set up of the state. Most of the area in Himachal Pradesh is hilly enclosing few small intermontane valleys. The traditional ground water structures under observation at present are dugwells and are mostly located in the valley areas only. Therefore, the ground water regime monitoring programme is concentrated mainly in valley areas of the state and some places in hard rock areas. All the 128 National Hydrograph Stations are located only in 7 districts out of the 12 districts in Himachal Pradesh. The reason being hilly terrain, hard approachability and insignificant number of structures available for monitoring. The average annual rainfall in the state varies from 600 mm to more than 2400 mm. The rainfall increases from south to north.
