    UA MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT STUDY GROUP Jagdish M. Bhagwati Nazli Choucri Wayne A. Cornelius John R. Harris Michael J. Piore Rosemarie S. Rogers Myron Weiner a ........ .................. ..... .......... C/77-5 INTERNAL MIGRATION POLICIES IN AN INDIAN STATE: A CASE STUDY OF THE MULKI RULES IN HYDERABAD AND ANDHRA K.V. Narayana Rao Migration and Development Study Group Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1977 Preface by Myron Weiner This study by Dr. K.V. Narayana Rao, a political scientist and Deputy Director of the National Institute of Community Development in Hyderabad who has specialized in the study of Andhra Pradesh politics, examines one of the earliest and most enduring attempts by a state government in India to influence the patterns of internal migration. The policy of intervention began in 1868 when the traditional ruler of Hyderabad State initiated steps to ensure that local people (or as they are called in Urdu, mulkis) would be given preferences in employment in the administrative services, a policy that continues, in a more complex form, to the present day. A high rate of population growth for the past two decades, a rapid expansion in education, and a low rate of industrial growth have combined to create a major problem of scarce employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh as in most of India and, indeed, in many countries in the third world. It is not surprising therefore that there should be political pressures for controlling the labor market by those social classes in the urban areas that are best equipped to exercise political power.

  • Polavaram: a Disaster in the Making and a Coastal Andhra Sin
    Polavaram: A Disaster in the Making and a Coastal Andhra Sin By Gautam Pingle - HYDERABAD Published: 10th February 2014 09:36 AM http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra_pradesh/Polavaram-A-Disaster- in-the-Making--a-Coastal-Andhra- Sin/2014/02/10/article2048570.ece#.UvhTJfuHPgE THE AP State Reorganisation Bill2013, as approved by the Union cabinet on February 7, has given the Polavaram irrigation project an orange (not green) light. It gives 397 inundation villages in Bhadrachalam and Palvancha divisions in Khammam district to Seemandhra. It also says the future Telangana government is “deemed to consent” to Polavaram _ a measure the Supreme Court will strike down. Polavaram is supposed to irrigate huge acreage, stabilise the Godavari Delta for the second and third crops and divert Godavari water to further stabilise the Krishna Delta for three crops. It also hopes to provide drinking and irrigation water to north coastal Andhra. The reservoir will inundate 397 tribal villages and flood thousands of acres of valuable forest land. Nearly 2.5 lakh tribal people will be displaced from their homes in Bhadrachalam alone. It will create a problem five times bigger than the Narmada Sagar dam where only 60,000 tribal people were displaced. Chhattisgarh and Odisha have moved the Supreme Court against the project and tribal displacement. The Union ministry of environment and forests, on February 8, 2011, directed the state not to start construction and to reduce the dam’s height to minimise inundation. But the Seemandhra’s contention is that reducing the height of the dam will prevent diversion of Godavari water to the Krishna Delta.

  • Pattern of Development in India - a Study of Andhra Pradesh
    Pattern of Development in India - A Study of Andhra Pradesh SER Division Planning Commission Government of India Main Findings of the Study Andhra Pradesh was formed on 1st November 1956. It comprises of Coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana regions. Each region has its own distinct characteristics. It is the fifth largest state in terms of the area in our country. There is significant improvement in literacy level of the rural population during 1990's. But the employment opportunities have not improved. As a result, there is huge stock of educated unemployed constituting both male and female in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh. Although, the state has achieved remarkable progress in establishing schools, Junior Colleges and Degree colleges during 1980-81 and 2000-01, most of them were in private sector. The number of high schools increased from 4106 to 10,359, Junior Colleges 398 to 2449, Degree Colleges 450 to 1157 during the same time. There is marketisation of education in Andhra Pradesh in recent years. Only the elite class children could reap the benefits of private education. 113 The economy of the state is basically agrarian in character. The percentage of irrigated area is very low i.e., below 40 percent. The plan allocations by the state Government for irrigation had been declining from plan to plan. Though the state is well endowed with natural resources and minerals, it is lagging behind other states in the country with regard to per capital income, literacy level and other parameters. There is no significant improvement in the number of hospitals/ dispensaries available in the state during 1980-81 and 2000-01.

  • Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India
    ® Fruit, Vegetable and Cereal Science and Biotechnology ©2010 Global Science Books Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India Ram Chandra* • Deodas Tarachand Meshram National Research Centre on Pomegranate, NH-9 By-pass Road, Shelgi, Solapur 413 006, Maharashtra, India Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in India, making up the majority of the southern part of the country, ranging in elevation from 100 m in the north to 1000 m in the south. The main pomegranate producing areas are distributed between 300 and 950 m above mean sea level in hot arid and semi-arid regions having tropical and subtropical climate. Interestingly, the major production of pomegranate in India is from Deccan Plateau, especially from Maharashtra followed by Karnataka. The agro-climatic condition of Deccan Plateau is congenial for staggering of pomegranate production throughout the year. Maharashtra contributes about 84% in area and 75% in production of pomegranate in Deccan Plateau. Mainly three flowering seasons viz. winter (January-February flowering), rainy season (June-July flowering) and autumn season (September-October flowering) are promoted for fruit production in this plateau. In the present paper, information pertaining to Deccan Plateau and its climatic and soil conditions and existing cultivation practices of pomegranate has been envisaged. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: climatic conditions of Deccan

  • DYNASTIC HISTORY 31 DYNASTIC HISTORY a Fundamental Problem for the Historical Study of the Amarāvatī Stūpa Is the Uncertainty
    DYNASTIC HISTORY 31 CHAPTER ONE DYNASTIC HISTORY A fundamental problem for the historical study of the Amarāvatī stūpa is the uncertainty of its chronological framework. One important reason for this problem is that the Amarāvatī inscriptions do not record any dates, but include inscriptions that mention the names of two Sātavāhana kings. Former studies have thus argued eagerly over the chronology of this dy- nasty in order to fix the date of the stūpa, although they have reached little agreement. Moreover, concentrating as it does on the Sātavāhanas, this debate has largely ignored other political formations in this region. The environmental setting of the Amarāvatī region, which may have crucially affected the way of life of pre-modern society, also went unnoticed. To compensate for these deficiencies, this chapter will firstly examine the geographical setting of the coastal Andhra region in south-eastern Deccan, especially the lower Krishna valley that includes Amarāvatī. Secondly, I will examine the broad political history of this region by com- bining the latest archaeological, numismatic and epigraphic surveys. Finally, I will suggest a reasonable dating for the dynastic sequence to establish a chronological framework. I. The Pre-Historic and Geographical Setting 1. The Lower Krishna Valley The lower Krishna valley, the main geographical area of this study, is lo- cated on the southern side of coastal Andhra. Its modern administrative divisions mainly cover the Guntur, Krishna and Nalgonda districts. The valley is distinguished by two basic geographical features: (1) the Krishna river running from west to east; (2) the Eastern Ghāts Mountains (Nallamalai range) extending from south to north along the coast (Map 2).

  • Land and Income Inequalities in Rural Andhra Pradesh
    The Marxist, XXVIII 2, April–June 2012 C. SAMBI REDDY, K. JOJAIAH, N. VENUGOPALA RAO, I. NARASAIAH Land and Income Inequalities in Rural Andhra Pradesh INTRODUCTION This article presents the results of village surveys conducted in Andhra Pradesh in 2008-09 and deals with unequal distribution of land among different socio economic groups and among different castes. Further, it deals with the sources of income and inequality in distribution of income among such groups. The survey was conducted in 88 villages spread over all the 22 rural districts covering 21657 households in the state. In each village a census type survey of households was first conducted and then, the households were divided into different groups like agricultural workers, farmers, households engaged in traditional occupations etc., basing on main source of income. Then, in order to collect detailed data on employment and incomes a second round sample survey of 10 percent households randomly selected was conducted in all the villages. For example, from an agricultural worker’s household, data was collected pertaining to the types of work they were employed in, number of days of work in a year for each type of work, the wage rates for each type of work, number of days of non- agricultural work and it’s wage rates, detailed Land and Income Inequalities in Rural Andhra Pradesh information regarding income from cultivation on own and rented land and income from leased out land etc. Similar exercise was done for the remaining groups also. In the case of cultivators, data was collected regarding the number of acres sown, crops raised, output obtained and the rates at which the produce was marketed for calculating their income from cultivation (Family labour was not accounted for) Andhra Pradesh is primarily an agricultural state in which 70 percent of its population is living in rural areas.

The states are further subdivided into districts. Andhra Pradesh is one of the largest states in India. This article examines how regional disparities in Andhra Pradesh have developed since its formation in 1956. A large urban centre (Hyderabad) which acts as a hub for economic activities, has attracted factors of production, and has stimulated income and employment opportunities in the surrounding local economy, but its impact on the peripheral districts is limited. There is a need for policy intervention in these peripheral districts in order to reduce regional disparities.
