JAYA RAO OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE DIRECTOR OF CENSUS OPERATIONS ANDHRA PRADESH PUBLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH 1986 POTHANA - THE GREAT DEVOUT POET The motif presented on the cover page represents Bammera Pothana, also called Pothanamatya, a devout poet belonging to the 15th century A. D. said to have hailed from the village Bammera near Warangal. The spiritual history of India is replete with devotional poetry and it was termed as BHAKTI movement, the 'CULT OF DEVOTION'. The SRIMADANDHRA MAHA­ BHAGA VATHAM rendered in Telugu by Pothana gave necessary fillip to this movement And nay! he could be treated as a progenitor of this movement. Pothana started this movement even before Chaitanya started the same movement in Bengal and Vallabh8chC/rya in Gujarat. In the Telugu country, this movement wastaken to great heights by Saints and lyricists like Annamacharya, Kshetrayya and Ramadas of Bhadrachalam fa"!e. Besides Bhagavatham,Pothana wrote VEERABHADRA VIJAYAM in praise of Lord Siva, which could be considered almost a Saivaite AGAMA SASTRA, BHOGINI DANDAKAM and NARA YANA SATAKAM, a devotional composition in praise of Lord Narayana or Vishnu. Pothana was a great poet of aesthetic eminence and his style was so simple and attractive to the common people as well as pedants. It is charming and sweet, and it won the hearts of the Telugu speaking people in a great sweep. He was one among the three or four top ranking Telugu poets of those days and even today.

  • Ground Water Quality in Shallow Aquifers of India
    GROUND WATER QUALITY IN SHALLOW AQUIFERS OF INDIA CENTRAL GROUND WATER BOARD MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FARIDABAD 2010 GROUND WATER QUALITY IN SHALLOW AQUIFERS OF INDIA CENTRAL GROUND WATER BOARD MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FARIDABAD 2010 FOREWORD Ground water has become one of the important sources of water for meeting the requirements of various sectors in the country in the last few decades. It plays a vital role in India’s economic development and in ensuring its food security. The rapid pace of agricultural development, industrialization and urbanization has resulted in the over- exploitation and contamination of ground water resources in parts of the country, resulting in various adverse environmental impacts and threatening its long-term sustainability. The ground water available in the country, in general, is potable and suitable for various usage. However, localized occurrence of ground water having various chemical constituents in excess of the limits prescribed for drinking water use has been observed in almost all the states. The commonly observed contaminants such as Arsenic, Fluoride and Iron are geogenic, whereas contaminants such as nitrates, phosphates, heavy metals etc. owe their origin to various human activities including domestic sewerage, agricultural practices and industrial effluents. The quality aspects of ground water in the country is being monitored by the Central Ground Water Board through a network of about 15500 ground water observation wells, from which samples are collected and analyzed during the month of May every year. Ground water quality data is also being collected by the Board as part of its other activities such as ground water management studies, exploratory drilling programme, special studies on water quality etc.
