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. This deprives the other needy farmers from getting benefit under National programmes. The same farmers /family should not be selected again and again under the NHM, RKVY, and NVI etc. The new vegetable varieties released by the Universities should be provided to the vegetable growers. The Horticultural functionaries should be well trained about activities like plantation, sanitation and rejuvenation of orchard by inviting resource persons from Universities/Institutes. The Poly and Net Houses should be immediately taken up in use for preparation of high value sapling of fruit and vegetable nurseries. Under mechanization programme the name of the scheme should be well written on both sides of bonnet of the Tractor and implements provided under NHM. 3 State:Uttar Pradesh INTRODUCTION: Uttar Pradesh is the fifth largest State in the country in terms of area and first in terms of population.

It is the administrative headquarters of theAllahabad District. Allahabad is the seventh most populous city in Uttar Pradesh, with an estimated population of 1.74 million living in the city and district area. In 2011, it was ranked the world's 130th fastest growing city. Allahabad city is the largest commercial center in the state; it also has the second-highest per capita income and the third greatest GDP in the state (following Kanpur).[6] Allahabad is also known as the "city of prime ministers" because post independence seven out of 13 prime minister of India belonged to Allahabad (Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Gulzarilal Nanda, Vishwanath Pratap Singh and Chandra Shekhar). All these seven leaders were either born in Allahabad, were alumni ofAllahabad University, or were elected from a constituency in Allahabad.[1] 6 The city's original name—Prayaga, or "place of offerings", comes from its position at the sacred union of the rivers Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati. It is the second-oldest city in India and plays a central role in the Hindu scriptures. The city contains many temples and palaces. Allahabad is located in the southern part of Uttar Pradesh. It is bounded by Pratapgarh in the north, Bhadohi in the east, Rewa in the south andKaushambi in the west. Its area is 63.07 km2 (24.35 sq mi). Allahabad contains many suburbs. While the city and surroundings are governed by several municipalities, a large portion of Allahabad District is governed by the Allahabad City Council. Thedemonym of Allahabad is Allahabadi. Allahabad was originally founded as Kaushambi (now a separate district) by the Kuru rulers of Hastinapur, who developed it as their capital. Since then, Allahabad has often being the political/cultural/administrative head of the entire Doab area and beyond. First as Kaushambi, then as Prathisthanpur. Later, the Mughal emperor Akbarrenamed Prayag as Allahabad and made it a prominent administrative centre again.

  • 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 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

  • Representation and Spatial Practice in Varanasi (India)
    Sacred Journeys and Profane Travellers: Representation and Spatial Practice in Varanasi (India) Cristiana Zara Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2011 DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Declaration of Authorship I Cristiana Zara hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with tourist representations and practices in India. Orientalist aesthetics have often associated this country with notions of spirituality and mysticism; tourist narratives sustain and reinforce such representations by describing India as a land of ancient rituals and timeless traditions. The visual construction of India’s ‘spiritual landscapes’ has been largely deployed as a powerful tool for subduing the unfamiliar Other within reassuring epistemological categories. However, tourism research has recently become interested in exploring the role of tourist practices in landscape production. Not only do tourists ‘gaze upon’ landscapes, they also script landscapes through practices and performances. By focusing on the case of Varanasi, the Indian pilgrimage city on the banks of the Ganges, this thesis shows how tourist practices (re)produce and make sense of the city’s ‘sacredscape’. Special attention is paid to the riverfront, which epitomizes the cultural and spiritual significance ascribed to the city. Both Hindu and tourist narratives depict the riverfront as embodying a special power, a unique meaning, whether this uniqueness is held to be a ‘spiritual’ or a ‘picturesque’ one. The thesis analyses the city’s riverfront as the place where tourist, ritual, and day-to-day activities are played out and negotiated, and where the aesthetics of landscape is confronted with the materialities and the practices inherent to this place.

    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.

  • Theology of Karman
    ERIK REENBERG SAND Theology of Karman Merit, death and release in the case of Varanasi, India The motives of pilgrims Pilgrimage has, of course, many aspects worth studying. To mention a few; one may focus on the ritual aspect and study pilgrimage as a ritual pro cess, focus sing on the various rituals being performed by the pilgrims on the way to their goal, or, once they have reached their goal, either by the pilgrims or by ritual specialists. One may also focus on the experiential or psychological, or on the social aspects of pilgrimage. Or, one may focus on a combination of all of these aspects, as, for example, is the case with the studies of Victor Turner (Turner 1973, 1974; Turner & Turner 1978). In this article, I shall focus on the question as to what motives the pil­ grims may have for performing pilgrimage, and, in doing this, I shall be deal­ ing especi ally with the Hindu tradition, namely with pilgrimage to Varanasi, Banaras or Kāśī, which is often considered the Hindu sacred city par excel­ lence by both Hindus and Westerners alike. Today, Varanasi is a medium sized Indian town at the confluences of the Gaṅgā, Varuṇa and Asi rivers, situated 82° 56’E – 83° 03’E and 25° 14’N – 25° 23.5’N in the South Eastern corner of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of India. According to the 2001 census, the town itself has a little more than 1.1 million inhabitants and covers approximately 112 square kilometers and is the centre of the Varanasi district with more than 3.1 million inhabitants (Census 2001).
