Baseline Data on Horticultural Crops in Uttarakhand Research Study No. 2013/02 Baseline Data on Horticultural Crops in Uttarakhand Usha Tuteja Agricultural Economics Research Centre University of Delhi Delhi -110 007 July, 2013 PREFACE The present study sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India aims to collect data on area, production and yield of horticultural crops and compare with the baseline data collected from secondary sources. The study also presents problems encountered by grass root officials in data collection. In order to fulfill these objectives, primary as well as secondary sources of data have been used. Primary data were collected through a field survey of horticultural crops growers in the selected three districts (Dehradun, Haridwar, and Tehri Garhwal) of Uttarakhand. The results of this study reveal (i) area, production and yield of horticultural crops grew at the rate of 3.11, 4.41 and 1.27 per cent per annum in India between 1991-92 and 2011-12, (ii) banana, mango and citrus among fruits, potato, tomato and onion among vegetables, garlic, turmeric and ginger among spices contributed 66, 57 and 53 per cent respectively in total production of these crops in India during 2011-12, (iii) the contribution of Uttarakhand was 0.96 in fruits and 0.7 per cent in vegetables. This contribution is low looking at the potential in the state, (iv) the share of fruits, vegetables, spices and flowers in total production of horticultural crops in Uttarakhand was around 54, 41, 5 and 0.39 per cent during 2010-11, (v) mango, apple and citrus in fruits , potato, vegetable pea and tomato in vegetables contributed more than 50 per cent in total production of fruits and vegetables in the state, (vi) Dehradun, Nainital and Almora are leading districts in production of horticultural crops in the state. the yield of horticultural crops was 5.45 MT./ha which is lower in comparison to all India, (vii) The Horticultural Mission for North-East and Himalayan states is being implemented in Uttarakhand. It addresses entire spectrum from production to consumption. The impact of the Mission is limited on horticulture in the state because important components like seed show poor performance, (viii) respondents in selected villages cultivated mango, litchi, potato, vegetable pea, french bean, ginger, turmeric, marigold and rose in different seasons. The respondents reported good price as the main motivating factor, (ix) a comparison of yield estimates of various horticultural crops obtained through survey data with the secondary data revealed some positive and negative gaps, (x) the main source of horticultural data in Uttarakhand is the Directorate of Horticulture, Uttarakhand which publishes data for 11 fruits, 10 vegetables, 7 spices and some flowers. However, data are not being collected for some important crops of commercial value. The Mobile Horticulture Teams collect data on horticultural crops on the basis of their record and information from farmers, (xi) grass root officials involved in data collection faced variety of problems in data collection due to scattered holdings, difficult terrain and inadequate staff. As a policy measure it is suggested that there is an urgent need of clear cut guidelines from horticulture department regarding data collection. These strictly need to be adhered to while collecting information on horticultural crops. This would reduce location and person specific bias. Furthermore, this would greatly help to make data collection a scientific practice by reducing subjectivity. Infrastructure, easy availability of region specific improved varieties and planting material assume special significance in order to improve the prospects of horticulture in Uttarakhand. We are grateful to Prof. Pami Dua, Chairperson, GB and Prof. Kanchan Chopra, former Chairperson, GB for their constant encouragement to complete this study. We express our thanks to the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India for providing support during the course of this study.

  • District Population Statistics, 39-Tehri-Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh
    -~------~--- -------- -_ ----I I ~ I Census of India, 1951 DISTRICT POPULATION STATISTICS I UTTAR PRADESH 39-TEHRI·GARHWAL DISTRICT 315.42 1951 TEH DPS FOREWORD THE Uttar Pradesh Government asked me in March, 1952, (0 supply chenl for the purposes of elections to local bodies population statistics with separation for scheduled castes (i) mohallaJward-wise for urban areas, and (ii) village-wise for rural areas. The Census Tabulation Plan did not provide for sorting of scheduled castes population for areas smaller than a tehsil or urban tract and the request from the Uttar Pradesh Government came when the slip sorting had been finished and the Tabulation Offices closed. As the census slips are mixed up for the purposes of sorting in one lot for a tehsil or urban tract, collection of data regarding scheduled castes populadon by mohallas/wards and villages would have involved enormous labour and expense if sorting of the slips had been taken up afresh. Fortunately, however, a secondary census record, viz. the National Citizens' Register. in which each slip has been copied, was available. By singular foresight it had been pre· pared mohalla/ward-wise for urban areas and village-wise for rural areas. Th e required information has, therefore, been extracted from this record. 2. In the above circumstances there is a slight difference in the figures of population as arrived at by an earlier sorting of the slips and as now determined by counting from the National Citizens' Register. This difference has been ace en - cuated by an order passed by me during the later count from the National Register of Citizens as follows:- (i) Count Ahirwars of Farrukhabad District, R.aidas and Bhagat as ·Chamars'.

  • District Survey Report of River Bed Mining of Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand
    DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT: MINOR MINERAL (RBM), TEHRI GARHWAL,UTTARAKHAND (2019-20) DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT OF RIVER BED MINING OF TEHRI GARHWAL, UTTARAKHAND, In Compliance of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Notification No. 2827 dated: 25th July 2018 Complied by District Task Force, Tehri, Geology and Mining Unit, Uttarakhand September, 2019 1 DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT: MINOR MINERAL (RBM), TEHRI GARHWAL,UTTARAKHAND (2019-20) 1. Introduction Uttarakhand, a hill state of India, lies in the northern part of country in the loftiest Himalayan mountain range. It covers in total 53,066 km2 area. Out of which approximately 48,000 km2 (90%) falls in hilly terrain (Joshi, 2004). Geologically this area is complex and forms a part of the young Himalayan belt. Tehri Garhwal is one of the largest districts in the hill state of Uttarakhand, which falls in hilly terrain. Its administrative headquarters is at New Tehri. The district has a population of 604,747 (in 2001 census), a 16.15% increase over the previous decade. It is surrounded by four districts, viz., Rudraprayag in the east, Dehradun in the west, Uttarkashi in the north, and Pauri Garhwal in the south. 2. Overview of Mining Activity in the District In the earlier time the mud houses/buildings were constructed with the use of mud. However with the passage of time, new techniques of development activities were started. As such the demand of Minor Mineral started on an increasing trend. In order to meet the requirement of raw material for construction, the extraction of sand, gravel & boulder carried out manually / semi- mechanized process from the river beds.
