EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 INTRODUCTION Our college is functioning in the light of our Sanstha's Motto Vidyadhan Sarvdhan Pradhanam as it means Knowledge is the greatest wealth with foremost importance. It is situated in the hilly & rural and remote region of Konkan area. It is placed in the range of Sahyadri Mountain which is a part of Western Ghat having a picturesque landscape. It is the only pioneering institution imparting higher education in Poladpur tehsil. After its establishment in September 1998,under the guidance of Ex-rural Development minister of Maharashtra Hon.Shri Prabhakarji More, the college has achieved success in imparting higher education to the first learning generation of the area, particularly to girl students for whom the higher education was a distant dream. It is only after the establishment of our college, initially with Arts and Commerce streams/faculties, many of the villages of Poladpur tehsil got their first graduate students as there was no institution imparting higher education available in the area even after the fifty years of Indian independence.

  • Reuse of Irrigation Drainage Water in Gonchi Systems
    Title: Reuse of irrigation drainage water from command areas: Learning from Traditional Gonchi channels in Andhra Pradesh, India Ramamohan Venkata Ramachandrula, Joint Director (Sustainable Livelihoods), Centre for World Solidarity (CWS), Hyderabad, India. Abstract Gonchi seepage channels in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, India are traditional forms of diversion channels used by farmers to divert seepage water from streams and rivers to cultivate food crops. Each such Gonchi channel runs for about 3 to 7 km and typically each irrigates 200 to 300 acres. Farmers benefiting from these channels are traditionally organized into strong informal groups and local regulations on allocations and use are still in place in most of the villages. Paddy is the predominant crop cultivated in these areas during October to January period every year. A field study done on 37 such channels in Pennar river basin revealed that most of them are being maintained well by Gonchi committees but few require renovation works that are beyond the capacity of these committees. These channels once used freshwater from rains and seepage flows in streams and river Pennar. After the construction of Mid Pennar Reservoir (MPR) at Penakacherla in Anantapur district in 1968, these seepage channels got rejuvenated by increased inflow of irrigation drainage its command areas. Many seepage channels in Anantapur district may be renovated through systematic re-use of such drainage water from command areas of modern irrigation projects. Key words: Gonchi, Seepage channels, reuse of irrigation drainage 1. Introduction India has a diverse practice of traditional water conservation, storage, distribution and utilization methods evolved and practised traditionally for centuries.

Rajasekhara Reddy, has announced that the first phase of Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanti (HNSS) irrigation project will be completed in the next three years. About two lakhs acres in Kurnool and Anantapur district will be given water in the first phase, he stated. Addressing an impromptu press conference near Gudibanda in the district today during his Rajiv Pallebata visit he stated that the project cost had now escalated to Rs. 3,000 crores. The first phase would be completed with Rs. 1,300 crores. TD Asked about the availability of water to the project the Chief Minister said there was no way but diversion of Godavari waters to the Krishna delta and Nagarjunasagar. Admitting that there were problems in allocation of water to the project in the Krishna-Tungabhadra basin he said the two river systems were over-exploited and over-depended. All projects for diversion of Godavari waters to the Krishna basin would be taken up on a war- footing and would be completed in three-four years time. Diversion of Godavari waters would also help give additional water to Mahabubnagar and Nalgonda districts, he said. Page 1 © 2014 Factiva, Inc. All rights reserved.

E. Jay a a Volcano Dynamics Group, Department of Earth Sciences, The Open University, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, UK b The School of Geosciences, Grant Institute, The King's Buildings, West Mains Road, Edinburgh, EH9 3JW, UK Received 20 December 2005; received in revised form 13 May 2006; accepted 19 May 2006 Available online 18 July 2006 Editor: R.W. Carlson Abstract We examine the role that flood basalt eruptions may have played during times of mass extinction through the release of volcanic gases. Continental flood basalt provinces have formed by numerous eruptions over a short period of geologic time, characteristically a few million years. Within this period, a short-lived climactic phase that lasts about 1 Ma typically emplaces a large proportion of the lava volume. This phase consists of a series of huge eruptions, each yielding 103–104 km3 of magma. Each eruption lasted on the order of a decade or more, and built an immense pāhoehoe-dominated lava flow field by eruptive activity along fissures tens to hundreds of km long. High fire-fountains, emanating from vents along the fissures, at times sustained eruption columns that lofted gas and ash into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere while the lava flows covered huge areas. The combination of large eruption magnitudes, maintained high effusion rates during eruptions, and the repeated nature of the characteristic, large-scale eruptive activity occurs in Earth history only during periods of flood basalt volcanism.

  • Mapping River Inundation – a Case Study on River Pennar from Penna Ahobilam Balancing Reservoir (PABR) to Mid Pennar Reservoir (MPR)
    ISSN: 2319-8753 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Vol. 3, Issue 12, December 2014 Mapping River Inundation – A Case Study on River Pennar from Penna Ahobilam Balancing Reservoir (PABR) To Mid Pennar Reservoir (MPR) R. Bhavani Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, JNTUA College of Engineering, Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, India ABSTRACT : Anantapur district is situated in semi arid region of Andhra Pradesh, India. Rainfall is scanty, erratic and unpredictable in this region. In most of the years, there is scarcity of water due to scanty rain fall, and at times, there are flash floods due to sudden excess rainfall. Effects of excess and insufficient rainfalls are floods and droughts respectively. Due to the experience of many droughts in succession, people in this region are not able to imagine the floods and are not able to care the ill effects of floods. With this, people are not hesitating to develop agriculture, Industries and habitations on flanks nearby the rivers. But there are some instances of heavy floods though rare occurrences. Such rare floods may result inundation which may cause damages to property, casualties including livestock etc. To avoid this, it is necessary to have some awareness regarding the extent of inundation due to floods so that, the encroachments on the flanks of rivers can be minimised and in turn the ill effects can be reduced. Here an attempt has been made to assess the Inundation along the flanks of the River Pennar from Penna Ahobilam Balancing Reservoir (PABR) to Mid Pennar Reservoir (MPR) in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh state, India.
