    THE STATUS OF RIVER GANGES IN THE MIDDLE STRETCH ______________________________________________________ 1 1. DEMOGRAPHIC FEATURES According to Census of India (Census of India, 2001a, 2001b) the population of India on 1st Mar 2001 stood at 1027.02 million (Male-531.28, Female-495.74). The population growth in India is fairly in tune with classical theory of demographic transition. During most of the nineteenth century, India witnessed a fluctuating but ultimately more or less a stagnant growth of population, which drifted into the twentieth century until 1921. Thereafter, the country passed through successively all the phases of demographic transition and is now widely believed to have entered the fifth phase, usually characterized by rapidly declining fertility. As per 2001 census the population density stood at 324 people per km2. The overall literacy rate was 65.38% (Male-75.85%, Female-54.16%). The share of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in total population was 16.17 and 8.07%, thus forming about 1/4th of the country’s population. The population of districts along the river Ganga (Kanpur-Bhagalpur stretch) in U.P. and Bihar formed 20.43 and 32.36% of the respective state’s population. The decadal population growth, sex ration and population density for the districts is depicted in Table 1. From the table it is obvious that population pressure is much more in the districts of Bihar as compared to U.P. The literacy status in different districts is presented in Table 2. The literacy states was poor in Bihar as compared to Uttar Pradesh. Table

    CLIMATE AND SOIL OF UTTAR PRADESH Dr SHALU DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY Ch CHARAN SINGH UNIVERSITY, MEERUT The climate of Uttar Pradesh is tropical monsoon type where winter season is very cold and summer season is very hot. The state of Uttar Pradesh has very fertile land which is mostly covered by alluvial soil. Apart from this, the state has a variety of soil groups which are different from each other, e.g. Bangar, Khadar, red soil, black soil, parwa, month soil, etc. Climate of Uttar Pradesh The climate of Uttar Pradesh is tropical monsoon climate. The state also experiences climate variations to large scale due to presence of hills in the Northern part, different elevation and distance from the sea. Thus variation can be seen from Saharanpur to Deoria. The climate is humid, the plains experience extreme climatic conditions i.e. winters are cold and summers are hot and the Southern part experiences severe cols in winter and severe hot in summer season. Uttar Pradesh is mainly divided into two climatic regions on the basis of rainfall. These are discussed below: (i) Humid and Tropical Region It is divided into two sub-groups which are: Terai Region:- This region includes Bijnor, Northern Moradabad, Bareilly, Rampur, Pilibhit, Deoria, Lakhimpur, Bahraich, Gonda, Basti, Gorakhpur, Siddharthnagar, Maharajganj, Sant Kabir Nagar, Padrona, etc. This area is a marshy land as it is situated at the foot hills of Himalayas. The average annual rainfall in Terai Region is 120-150 cm and average temperature is 18℃ to 30℃ in January and July, respectively. Eastern Uttar Pradesh:- This region includes Northern Shahjahanpur, Sitapur, Barabanki, Faizabad, Azamgarh, Ballia, Ghazipur, Jaunpur, Varanasi, Bhadki, Chandoli, Southern Allahabad, Kaushambi, Chitrakoot and Mirzapur districts.

State:Uttar Pradesh -Introduction 4 3. Field Visits (i) Visit to Allahabad District 6 (ii) Visit to Kaushambi District 20 (iii) Visit to Varanasi District 39 (iv) Visit to Lucknow District 51 Dates of Visit:- 02.9.13 to 06.9.13 Team Members: 1. Dr. H.V.L Bathla, Chief Consultant (NHM), MoA, GoI, New Delhi. 2. Dr. A.K. Dubey, Professor CSAUA&T Kanpur. 3. Dr. Bhagwan Deen, Associate Professor NDUA&T Faizabad, 2 General Observations: There is delay in supply of planting material particularly tissue culture banana saplings to the farmers. Timely supply of planting material need to be ensured to the farmers because delayed planting of banana adversely affects the productivity as younger plants are more susceptible to frost. The infrastructure facilities like laboratories, equipments, net houses, poly houses etc created with the support of NHM at Banaras Hindu University and Horticulture Department of the State Government should be used for the benefit of the farmers also. Field visits and interaction of JIT with farmers revealed that farmers have not been advised properly by grass root level technical staffs accountable for execution of NHM. Rather than area expansion, emphasis should be given on rejuvenation of senile orchards, post harvest management, mechanization, establishment of processing units and plant nurseries. There is an immediate need to intensify the guava canopy management programme in Banaras and Allahabad districts. The benefits have been repeated either to the same farmers or to the members of same family.

  • Yield Gap Analysis of Sugarcane in Different Agro-Climatic Zones of Uttar Pradesh Using DSSAT-CANEGRO Model
    VayuMandal 45(1), 2019 Yield Gap Analysis of Sugarcane in different Agro-climatic Zones of Uttar Pradesh using DSSAT-CANEGRO Model K.K. Singh* R.S. Singh** Anila H. Bhengra** and Priyanka Singh *India Meteorological Department, New Delhi-111003 **Department of Geophysics, BHU, Varanasi-221 005 Email: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT In the present study, yield potentials of sugarcane crop utilizing normal weather data have been presented for all the eight agro-climatic zones/districts of Uttar Pradesh state of India using the calibrated as well as evaluated DSSAT - CANEGRO v 4.6 simulation model. The potential yield of sugarcane stalk fresh mass ranged from 81.7 to 96.6 t ha-1 whereas the observed yields ranged from 40.1 to 62.8 t ha-1 giving yield gaps ranging from 22.8 to 56.5 t ha-1 (27–59%) of potential yield over the eight selected representative sites/districts in each agro-climatic zone of Uttar Pradesh. For Western Plain Zone (WPZ), the total yield gaps were minimum and ranged from 10.2 to 29.9 t ha-1 (13–34%) in various districts within the same zone followed in Mid Western Plain Zone (MWPZ), whereas sowing yield gap and management yield gap in Western Plain Zone (WPZ) varied from 7.9 to 31.5 t ha-1 (9-34%) and from 7.6 to 25.0 t ha-1 (12-38%), respectively. In general, maximum yield gaps found in Bundelkhand Zone (BZ) followed in Vindhyan Zone (VZ) and South Western Semi Arid Zone (SWSAZ) and partially high also in Central Plain Zone (CPZ) & Eastern Plain Zone (EPZ) where farmers do not have assured irrigation facility.

Amongst natural disasters flood is one such calamity that is highly recurring event in entire India especially in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Some of the major rivers which create floods in the State are the Ganga, the Ghaghra, the Yamuna, the Ramganga, the Gomti, the Rapti, the Sharda, and the Gandak. Eastern districts of Uttar Pradesh are the most vulnerable to floods in comparson to the western districts and central region .The recurrence period of highly deficient rainfall in Eastern Uttar Pradesh has been calculated to be around 6 to 8 years whereas in Western U.P. it is 10 years. The geographical area of the State is 240.93 lakh hectares and in it about 73.06 lakh hectares is flood prone. According to the Irrigation Department‟s estimate, protection from floods could be given to only 58.72 lakh hectares annually. This paper deals with chronically flood prone region of eastern Uttar Pradesh “Ballia district” with the risk posed by river Ghaghara and the various structural and non- structural measures adopted for management of floods in these regions.
