Agriculture is the main source of employment in rural areas. The dawn of the new millenium imposed tough challenges to the farming community. Producing more food to feed the burgeoning population from shrinking land, less water, without eroding the ecological foundation will be an uphill task. The surest means to tide*over this challenge is through environmentally sustainable farming methods, which are economically rewarding, with adequate policy support, the several million farming families can be expected to provide the food and nutrition security. Our natural resources base of land, water and bio diversity is under severe stress and threat of erosion and depletion. Thus, some of which are formidable. Such challenges can be faced if specific developmental plans are meticulously drawn up and implemented. 1.1.2 Two third of population in Gujarat is engaged in agriculture and earn livelihood directly from this occupation. Besides, this occupation provides indirect employment to large portion of population in agro-base secondary and tertiary occupations. Thus prosperity and well being of people in Gujarat are closely linked with the agriculture. Hence the planning for successful and rapid development of agriculture has got direct implication on the well being of the population of the State. 1.1.3 Agriculture in Gujarat is characterised by natural disparities such as (1) drought prone areas and lowest annual rainfall amounting to only about 400 mm at the North West end of the states; and assured and highest annual rainfall amounting to about 2500 mm at the South East end of the States. (2) Well drained deep fertile soils of Central Gujarat and shallow & undulating soils with poor fertility in hilly rocky areas; (3) Moisture starved denuded areas and low-lying waterlogged and saline areas, (4) Areas prone to frequent scarcity and areas prone to frequent cyclone or floods or locusts. Strategy for Annual Plan 2003-2004 1.1.4 In Consonance with goal of providing increased income and better lilving to the farmers, the objectives of planned development in agriculture are to increase production & productivity and to ensure remunerative prices for the farm and to create the maximum employment in Agriculture and allied activities produced. Strategies propose to be adopted for the successes of these objectives are (i) The entire production programme has be designed according to natural resources available in various Agro climatic zones. (ii) To increase the coverage under quality seeds/planting material. (iii) To increase crop planting density with the help of latest technologies (iv) Bridging the gap between demonstrated yield and average yield. Encouraging the shift from high volume low value crop to low volume high value crop. (v) Judicious use of created irrigation potential. (vi) Saving of 30 % irrigation water by adopting drip and sprinkler irrigation system and thereby increasing the irrigated area. ADP-2/1 (vii) Easy availability of quality agricultural inputs especially in remote and tribal areas. (viii) Encouraging plant protection through integrated pest management. (ix) Promoting the use of biotechnology and organic farming for enhanced value addition. (x) Facilitating high tech agriculture with greenhouse, tissue culture, drip irrigation etc. (xi) To disseminate information of modem technology and related infrastructure through transmission of creative real time agricultural practices though mass media. (xii) Focussed special programmes for tribal area and for small and marginal farmers to raise their income level above poverty line. (xiii) Coordination with non-Govemment organization. 1.1.5 The approach in achieving the objectives through increased production of different crops and allied activities, the following approach have been provided to be adopted.: (i) To increase the area under hybrid/ HYV crops. (ii) To optimise the use and availability of main inputs including irrigation water and micronutrients in deficient soils. (iii) To encourage the use of micronutrient along with the major nutrient. (iv) To enhance the use of fertilisers and also biofertilizers in low consumption areas. (v) Special emphasis on adoption of production technology of cereal groundnut, pulses sugarcane and maize in non-traditional area of paddy. (vi) Extending the Broad based extension system beyond crop husbandry to include all land based Sc Allied activities for the benefit of farming community. (vii) Agro-climatic zonal approach in development of messages and propagating the technology in boosting up of production, and (viii) Propagation of IPM approach in plant protection to minimise the cost of plant protection and also to reduce the hazardous effect of pesticides on plant as well as animal kingdom. (ix) An integrated approach for large scale micro water management methods to make best use of available water/ resources in water deficit area such as Saurashtra, Kutch and north Gujarat by offering financial support to the farmer under taking a scientific extension cum experimentation adopting micro water management system for various crops. (x) In view of the frequent droughts, the measures for moisture conservation in situ, surface water, storage and recharging of ground water stock to be extended on high priority. (xi) To increase the income of farmers and make agriculture self-reliance more emphasis is given to agribusiness and promotional activities. Under agro industries policies. 1.1.6 Agricultural development is central to all socio-economic development of Gujarat. Since Agriculture is a state subject under the constitution, the State Government attaches top most priority and attention for the progress of Agriculture in a balanced manner in ill agroclimatic regions. Outlays 1.1.7 During the Tenth Five Year Plan 2002-2007, the number of schemes of agriculture department reduced from 72 to 21 with the help of merge of the schemes and dropping the number of schemes as per the recommendation of the state and central government. 1.1.8 An amount of Rs. 57891.97 lakh has been spent during Ninth Plan out of total actual annual plan provision Rs. 56000.00 lakh as against the ninth plan outlay Rs. 26500.00 lakh in crop husbandry sub sector. 1.1.9 An amount of Rs. 196250.00 lakh has been provided for the tenth plan (2002-03 to 2006-07). 1.1.10 An amount of Rs. 12200.70 lakh is likely to be spent during the year 2002-03 with an Earmarked outlay to TASP Rs. 660.00 lakh and Earmarked to IT Rs. 20.00 lakh. 1.1.11 An amount of Rs. 25400.70 lakh has provided for the annual plan 2003-04 with an Earmarked to TASP Rs. 660.00 lakh and Earmarked to IT Rs. 10.00 lakh.

    Hindu Castes and Sects an Exposition of the Origin of the Hindu Caste

    HINDU CASTES AND SECTS. PREF A.CE. IN the last edition of my" Commentaries on Hindu Law" I devoted a chapter to the Hindn Caste System which attracted the attention of the Publishers, and they suggested that the subject might well be expanded so as to be brought out as a separate volume. They suggested also that, in order to make the book complete, I should give an account not only of the Castes, but also of the important Hindu Sects, some of which are practically so many ""new Castes. As I had heen already engaged in writing a book about the hisfury and philosophy of religions, the prp­ posal, so far as the sects were concerned, was welcome indeed. About the Castes I felt very considerable diffidence; but it seemed to me that, in a town like Calcutta, where there are men from every part of India, it might not be quite impossible to collect the necessary information. When, however, I actually commenced my enquiries, then I fully realised the difficulty of my task. The original information contained in this work has been derived from a very large number of Hindn gentlemen hailing from different parts of India. I here iv PRBFACK. gratefully acknowledge the kindness that they have shown in according to me their assistance. I feel very ;trongly inclined to insert in this book a list of their names. But the publication of snch a list is not de­ sirable for more reasons than one. To begin with, such a list would be necessarily too long to be conveniently included.

    Decentralized Artificial Recharge Movements in India: Potential and Issues

    Rainwater Harvesting in the Water-scarce Regions of India: Potential and Pitfalls Decentralized Artificial Recharge Movements in India: Potential and Issues R. Sakthivadivel IWMI Senior Fellow Introduction Rainwater harvesting (concentrating runoff from watersheds for beneficial use) was practiced in the arid- and semi-arid tracts of India as early as the sixth century. Encompassing any practice that collects runoff for productive purposes, rainwater harvesting includes three components: 1) a watershed area to produce runoff; 2) a storage facility (soil profile, surface reservoirs or groundwater aquifers); and, 3) a target area to beneficially use the water (agriculture, domestic or industry). The classification varies depending on the spatial scale of the runoff collection, from in-situ practices managing rain on the farmland (often defined as water conservation) to external systems collecting runoff from watersheds outside the cultivated area. Rainwater harvesting practices are further classified by storage strategies from direct runoff concentration in the soil to collection and storage of water in structures (surface, subsurface tanks, and small dams). In many decentralized artificial recharging activities, rainwater harvesting is a part and parcel of the decentralized artificial recharge. In many parts of India, especially in the arid- and semi-arid regions, due to variations in the monsoon and scarcity of surface water, dependence on groundwater resources has increased tremendously in recent years. Easy availability of credit from financial institutions for sinking tube wells coupled with provision of subsidized/ free electricity for pumping in many states has exacerbated the increased extraction of groundwater. On the other hand, rapid urbanization and land use changes has decreased drastically the infiltration rate into the soil and has diminished the natural recharging of aquifers by rainfall.

In 1722–1723, forces led by Khanthaji Kadani and Pilaji Gaekwad attempted to raid Sihor but were repelled by Maharaja Bhavsinhji Gohil. After the war Bhavsinhji realised the reason for repeated attack was the location of Sihor (old Bhavnagar). In 1823, he established a new capital near Vadva village, 20 km away from Sihor, and named it Bhavnagar. It was a carefully chosen strategic location because of its potential for maritime trade. Naturally, Bhavnagar City became the capital of Bhavnagar State Bhavnagar Boroz. The old town of Bhavnagar was a fortified town with gates leading to other important regional towns. It remained a major port for almost two centuries, trading commodities with Mozambique, Zanzibar, Singapore, and the Persian Gulf.

    CHAPTER - IV ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATIONS An Overview of Synthetic Gem Industry An over view of synthetic gem Industry was made with special reference to actual conditions of the manufacturers, labourers and traders prevailing in the industry. This overview emphasizes the financial and marketing conditions of the manufacturers and traders. The socio economic conditions of the workers were also dealt with in detail. Finance Analysis The capacity to invest money in any business affects its performance. The ability or the inability of the person dealing with the business affects it either positively or negatively. The synthetic gem industry business also is not an exception. Here, there are two categories of peoples involved. They are traders who buy the stones from the manufacturers and sell them to various types of buyers. The other ones are manufacturers who produce the stones which are sold to traders in lots, who in turn market them. The role of investment or finance which affects the business of the trader and manufacturer is analyzed here: (1) Traders: The range of investment for traders is anywhere between four to ten lakhs. They always aspire to get maximum profit out of their investment and get back their investment as soon as possible. 133 Main source of funds for these traders are not financial institutions or banks. Most of the traders have their own funds. They don‟t want to depend on any financial institutions for a good reason i.e., they don‟t want to pay interest. Till last two decades, most of the traders had only cash sales and not credit sales.

    HISTORY of RAJPUTS in INDIA a Rajput

    HISTORY OF RAJPUTS IN INDIA A Rajput (from Sanskrit raja-putra, “son of a king”) is a member of one of the patrilineal clans of western, central, northern India and some parts of Pakistan. They are descendants of ruling Hindu warrior classes of North India. Rajputs rose to prominence during the 6th to 12th centuries. Until the 20th century, Rajputs ruled in the “overwhelming majority” of the princely states of Rajasthan and Saurashtra, where the largest number of princely states were found. The Rajput population and the former Rajput states are found spread through much of the subcontinent, particularly in north, west and central India. Populations are found in Rajasthan, Saurashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Jammu, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. There are several major subdivisions of Rajputs, known as vansh or vamsha, the step below the super-division jati. These vansh delineate claimed descent from various sources, and the Rajput are generally considered to be divided into three primary vansh: Suryavanshi denotes descent from the solar deity Surya, Chandravanshi from the lunar deity Chandra, and Agnivanshi from the fire deity Agni. Lesser-noted vansh include Udayvanshi, Rajvanshi, and Rishivanshi. The histories of the various vanshs were later recorded in documents known asvanshaavaliis. Beneath the vansh division are smaller and smaller subdivisions: kul, shakh (“branch”), khamp or khanp (“twig”), andnak (“twig tip”). Marriages within a kul are generally disallowed (with some flexibility for kul-mates of different gotralineages). The kul serves as primary identity for many of the Rajput clans, and each kul is protected by a family goddess, the kuldevi.
