    Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya By Aghaghia Rahimzadeh A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Louise P. Fortmann, Chair Professor Nancy Lee Peluso Professor Isha Ray Professor Carolyn Finney Spring 2016 Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya Copyright © 2016 By Aghaghia Rahimzadeh Abstract Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya by Aghaghia Rahimzadeh Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Louise P. Fortmann, Chair This dissertation investigates the transformation of the district of Kinnaur in the state of Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalaya. I examine Kinnauri adaptation to political, economic, environmental, and social events of the last seven decades, including state intervention, market integration, and climate change. Broadly, I examine drivers of change in Kinnaur, and the implications of these changes on social, cultural, political, and environmental dynamics of the district. Based on findings from 11 months of ethnographic field work, I argue that Kinnaur’s transformation and current economic prosperity have been chiefly induced by outside forces, creating a temporary landscape of opportunity. State-led interventions including land reform and a push to supplement subsistence agriculture with commercial horticulture initiated a significant agrarian transition beginning with India’s Independence. I provide detailed examination of the Nautor Land Rules of 1968 and the 1972 Himachel Pradesh Ceiling of Land Holding Act, and their repercussion on land allocation to landless Kinnauris.

  • An Assessment of Apple Cultivation in Kalpa, Kinnaur District, Himachal Pradesh
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 8, Ver. II (Aug. 2015), PP 20-23 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org An Assessment of Apple Cultivation in Kalpa, Kinnaur District, Himachal Pradesh Gourab Bera (Research Scholar, Dept. of Geography, University of Calcutta) I. Introduction Apple (Maluspumila) is commercially the most important temperate fruit and is the fourth produced in the world after banana, orange and grape. About 70 million tons of apples were grown worldwide in 2013, and China produced almost half of this total. The United States is the second-leading producer with more than 6% of world production. Turkey is the third largest producer, followed by Italy, India and Poland. The area under apple cultivation in India increased by 24% from 1.95 lakh hectors. In 1991-92 to 2.42 lakh hectors. In 2001-02, although production increased by less than 1% (i.e. from 11 to 12 lakh tones). It is mostly grown in the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. Apple belt of the Himachal is the most important crop, accounting for about 90% of the total horticultural production. Study area Himachal Pradesh is one of the ideal locations for apple cultivation, covering the districts of Shimla, Siramour, Kullu, Mandi, Chamba and Kinnaur considering the vast production of apple orchards. The much- awaited delicious variety of apples from Himachal Pradesh's Kalpa (Kinnaur district) where horticulture is considered as a major livelihood source, most of all the households are involved in horticulture activity.

  • History : Project Deepak
    HISTORY : PROJECT DEEPAK 1. Raising & Early History. Project Deepak was raised in May 1961 with Col S N Punjh as Chief Engineer, primarily for the construction of Hindustan-Tibet (H-T) Road. The H-T Road is one of the most difficult roads ever to have been constructed in India. The 76 Km long Pooh-Kaurik sector of H-T Road passes through considerable lengths of sheer vertical hard rock stretches and huge bouldery strata embedded in sand and non-cohesive material, which is inherently unstable. The sector runs along the River Satluj crossing it at several locations. The road runs at altitudes between 1600 to 3600 meters. On the whole, the terrain and climatic conditions are very uncongenial. Many valuable lives were lost during the construction of this road. Thus, this work is a testimony to the sheer grit, determination and perseverance shown by PROJECT DEEPAK right from its early days. The subsequent major events in the history of Project Deepak include:- (a) In 1965, construction of the 122 Km long Road Dhami-Basantpur-Kiongal and 107 Km long stretch of Road Keylong-Sarchu (part of the Manali-Leh road) was entrusted to PROJECT DEEPAK. (b) In December 1966, following disbandment of Project Chetak, all roads of Uttaranchal were taken over by PROJECT DEEPAK. Thus, the 300 Km long Road Rishikesh –Joshimath-Mana, 63 Km long road Road Joshimath-Malari and 260 Km long Road Tanakpur-Askote-Tawaghat came under PROJECT DEEPAK. (c) The early seventies saw Project Deepak spreading its light (Deepak Jyoti) in the states of Rajasthan and even Punjab.

  • A Sociolinguistic Survey of Lahul Valley, Himachal Pradesh
    DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2019-006 A Sociolinguistic Survey of Lahul Valley, Himachal Pradesh Brad Chamberlain and Wendy Chamberlain A Sociolinguistic Survey of Lahul Valley, Himachal Pradesh Brad Chamberlain and Wendy Chamberlain SIL International® 2019 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2019-006, August 2019 © 2019 SIL International® All rights reserved Data and materials collected by researchers in an era before documentation of permission was standardized may be included in this publication. SIL makes diligent efforts to identify and acknowledge sources and to obtain appropriate permissions wherever possible, acting in good faith and on the best information available at the time of publication. Abstract The main purpose of this survey of the Lahul Valley of Himachal Pradesh was to determine the best language varieties for communicating with the Lahuli people. The survey was conducted in June, July, and August of 1996. The survey was divided into three studies: a language and dialect area study; a language use, attitudes, and vitality study; and a bilingualism study. Wordlists were collected for the Pattani language, which is the largest language group in Lahul. Recorded Text Testing was used. Oral questionnaires were the means to study language use, attitudes and vitality. Self-reported levels of bilingualism in Hindi were assessed through questionnaires, informal interviews, and observation. In addition, a test based on the Recorded Text Testing procedure was used to see if minority language groups of Lahul could understand the most widely spoken Lahuli language, Pattani. Although Lahul Valley is home to only 20,000 residents, there are seven mother tongue languages: Pattani, Gahri, Tinani, Bhoti, Lohari, Chinali and Pangi.
