Chapter 3 Buildings for the District Libraries Chapter 3 Buildings for the District Libraries CHAPTER - III BUILDINGS FOR THE DISTRICT LIBRARIES A suitable library building plays vital part in bringing the library's material into the lives and thinking of those who normally might not make use of this treasure-house of knowledge. It is true that fundamentally a library is not a building but a service organisation. But public library building exemplifies the spirit of service that is library service. It offers to the community a compelling invitation to enter, read, look, listen and learn. The interior and exterior features of the library building should be such as to attain functional efficiency and beauty. In providing library service, therefore, the convenience and comfort of the people should be given primary consideration. Author describes in this chapter geographical environment of the district, establishment of library, change of name and development of library building of district libraries. Ratnagiri Zilla Nagar Vachanalaya : (Ratnagiri Library) Geographical Environment of Ratnagiri District : Ratnagiri district has an area of 8249 sq. km. with nine talukas. As per 1991 census total population of the district is over 15 lakhs. Literacy rate is 62.70 (Rural 60.57%, Urban 83.90%). It has nine talukas viz., Man- dangoda, Dapoli, Kheda, Guhagar, Chipalun, Ratnagiri, Sangameshwar, Rajapur and Lanje. Establishment : Ratnagiri Book Society was established on 18 August 62 1828 ^ . In the same year institution demanded newspapers and periodicals free of cost to the government. Its name was changed to 'Native General Library'. In 1888 one of the British officers suggested a change in the name of the library as 'General Library' as he wished to become a member. In 1937 freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar proposed the change of name as 'Nagar Vachanalaya'. In 1947 it was recognised as district library. It did not receive government grant up to 1971. In 1970 the institution got membership of British Council Library through which members of the library used valuable books. ^ Building : In 1958 a 'Building Fund Committee' was established with the efforts of president Shri Bapusaheb Parulekar under the Chairmanship of District Collector Shri Kasabekar. The target of the committee was to collect Rs. 20,000. In 1963 Zilha Parishad approved a grant of Rs. 10,000/-. First instalment of Rs. 3300 was released^ But this was returned back due to the inability of collection of a matching grant through subscriptions. In 1967, Surve Smarak Samiti agreed to donate Rs. 10,000/- on the condition that one of the halls would be named after late Kakasaheb Surve. Without taking any fees Shri Suresh Surve prepared charts and plan of the build­ ing. Keeping the future development of the library in mind, a modern plan was prepared by the architect Shri Athalye. Shri Keni was the contractor. Originally the estimation of the expenditure was Rs. 90,000/-. But due to increase in built up area and size, it required Rs. 1.50 lakhs. Mem- ^General Department, Bombay 1828 Vol. 13/166 p. 29. ^Ratnagiri Library, Annual report, 1970-71, p.4. ^Ratnagiri Library, Smaranika. 1978, p.29. 63 bers and officers of the management body raised this amount through (i) subscription - Rs. 75,000, (ii) Shivacharitra lecture series - Rs. 13,000, (iii) Government of Maharashtra grant - Rs. 75,000, (iv) Ratnagiri Nagar Parishad - Rs. 33,000, (v) Shri M.D. Naik - Rs. 15,000 (for hall), (vi) Ratnagiri Nagar Vachanalaya Building Committee - Rs. 10,000/-, (vii) Ratnagiri Nagar Parishad - Rs. 10,000, (viii) At the hands of Anna Saheb Lubri, donated by 'x' Rs. 9,500^ Due to the increase in cost of the material and change in planning they made an appeal to the citizens of Ratnagiri to raise the funds. In this amount they constructed two storeyed building consisting of four big halls of the size 50' x 70' which was inaugurated by famous industrialist Shri B.M. Gogate and chief guest was the former Principal Shivajirao Bhosale. Government sanctioned 50% grant for furniture and equipment. The proposal was sent of Rs. 46,013.00. The rate mentioned in the proposal and present rate was different. ^. Therefore an amount of Rs. 23,013 released (50% of the proposal) was inadequate. In 1977-78 a proposal made for toilets. Green room was not approved due to lack of funds. Old furniture, which was not in good conditon was sold by inviting quotations ^. Other materials like typewriter, fan, loudspeaker, platform, bookstand, was purchased from the government grant of Rs. 9,516. ^ Need of extension of library building was felt during 1982-83.

An amount of Rs. 19,940 was spent. ^ Colouring of the building costed Rs. 7,363.00. Due to the increase in space, library started additional services for chil­ dren and women. The number of cultural activities also increased, which resulted in increase in members. Ahmednagar Zilla Vachanalaya (Ahmednagar Library) Geographical Environment of Ahmednagar Disrict : The population of Ahmednagar district as per 1991 census is 33,72,359. Literacy rate is 61.03%(57.81% Rural and 77.66% Urban). Ahmednagar district has 1509 villages and 13 talukas. But there are only 261 libraries in these villages. This shows that only 17% villages have libraries. Karjat, Newasa, Pathardi, Shevgaon, and Shreegonda talukas together have only 24 village libraries as compared to 580 villages i.e. 4.14% only. The remaining talukas have better percentage with Ahmednagar having 43% as highest. Establishment and Early History Ahmednagar city has a rich heritage of five hundred years. It was estab­ lished by Ahmedshah Badshah, the Mughal emperor in 1499. He built up the fort of Ahmednagar in 1490 which is known as the 'Bhuikot Killa'. Dur­ ing the period of Indian Freedom movement in 1942, Pandit Nehru, Sardar Patel and Maulana Azad were held captive in the fort of Ahmednagar. Over the period, the city has gone through various changes such as social, cultural and political. During the early period of the British rule, ^Ibid, 1986-87, p. 2 65 Ahmednagar was one of the military stations recognised by the British rulers. Due to this reason many British people were staying in the city in those days, and they started convent schools. Dhnyanodaya Marathi newspaper was being published from Ahmedna­ gar since 1842 and after that a number of periodicals were started publish­ ing from Ahmednagar. Periodicals published in the district in 1981 were 9 dailies and 22 weeklies. Gangadharshastri Gune Mahavidyalaya was the first College established by Ayurved Shastri Seva Mandal, Ahmednagar as a college of professional education. The Ahmednagar College was the first college of mass education established in 1947 by B.P. Hiwale with the help of Ahmednagar College Friends Club (Earlier affiliated to Bombay University). Ahmednagar Zilla Vachanalaya (Ahmednagar Library) Ahmednagar library was established in 1838 by Captain P.T. French, agent for Bhills at Ahmednagar^ The earlier name of it was 'Ahmednagar Native General Library'. But in the District gazetteer^*^ it accounted as 'Ahmednagar city library'. The library continued its existence till 1840. Captain French left Ahmednagar and it was closed for want of encourage­ ment and funds. It was reopened in 1847. Building : The building of Ahmednagar Library is located in a place which is at­ tractive and hygienic. It is near the vegetable market, school and theatre. The building is the property of the library. It was housed in a big mosque Ahmednagar District Gazetter, 1885 p. 581. lOlbid 66 belonging to a muslim. The court has given right of possession of it to the library. In the year 1938 there was an agreement between library commit­ tee and the owner of the mosque according to which library was paying Re. 1/- rent per month. After 40 years of the agreement the library committee made the change in the building as per their requirements. The owner of the mosque sent notice to the library committee about auction sale of the building by order of court. As per auction sale, Mr. Bapu Faujmal became the owner of the building. He sent another notice to committee about vacating the building. But committee had not given any response to his notice. Meanwhile, committee received another notice from Mr. Bapu Foujmal about increasing the rent of the library building. But committee had not given any response to his notice. The library committee also tried getting another building for library in Ahmednagar city, but they failed to get appropriate building for library purpose. Because of very high charges for the construction of new building, the library committee decided not to vacate the building. As a reaction to the above directive, Mr. Bapu Faujmal made complaint in the court of Ahmednagar. Advocate Jog helped them free of charge in this matter and solved the problem. In 1932 Vachanalaya had introduced a new facility 'Tilak Mophat Vachanal made and expanded the library building with the financial help from var­ ious people and institutions. The construction contract of the building was assigned to famous railway contractor in Ahmednagar city, Mr. K.S. Bamanasha. 'Tilak Smarak Mandir' was built for cultural activities per­ formed by the library. For the purpose, Rs. 10,178/- was collected from 67 the public as a Tilak Smarak Mandir Nidhi. Ahmednagar Municipality had supported by donation of Rs. 10,000/-. In 1972 under the presidentship of Dr. Sriram Ranade and the Secre­ tary Mr. Ram Dasare, a plan for the new building was proposed. But the committee did not get the adequate funds. So plan could not materialise.

  • CHAPTER 2 the District of Dharwad Has Played a Pre-Eminent Role In
    38 Dharwad District CHAPTER 2 HISTORY he district of Dharwad has played a pre-eminent role in the history of Karnataka. It was the T core region of the major dynasties that ruled in Karnataka such as the Badami Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Kalyana Chalukyas and the Adilshahis of Bijapur. To establish their hegemony in the fertile region of Belvola-300, there have been pitched battles between the Seunas and the Hoysalas. Whenever Marathas invaded the South, they made use of the district as the highway. As the hinterland growing cotton, Hubli (Rayara Hubli or Old Hubli) was a major industrial centre. When the British in their early years of trade had founded a factory at Kadwad on the banks of the Kali, the supply of textile to the factory was through old Hubli. There was a land route from Hubli to Kadra, the higher point of the Kali (till which the river was navigable) and it was through this route that merchandise from Dharwad, Bijapur and Raichur was transported. Products of thousands of textile looms from Dharwad, Bijapur and Raichur could reach the port through Hubli. In the south, Haveri and Byadgi had communication with the Kumta port. Chilly cultivation introduced into India by the Portuguese was raised here and after the British took over, transportation of cotton and chillies was made through Kumta from Byadgi and Haveri. Haveri was the main centre of cardamom processing and for final transport to Kumta. Byadgi chilly earned the name Kumta chilly due to its export from Kumta port. In England Kumta cotton was a recognised variety though it came from the Dharwad region.

    32 JANUARY 2017 The Failed Plot of the Deccan Princes Sandeep Bamzai Hyderabad, 1890 | Source: British Library OC ORW.1986.a.2996 ABSTRACT As India saw the dawning of independence from British colonial rulers, there were princely states who refused to be part of the union, desiring rather to preserve their old dominions. This report uses confidential documents bequeathed to the author by his grandfather, who was a close aide of Jawaharlal Nehru, to describe one such rebellion, that by the Deccan Princes.

THE FAILED PLOT OF THE DECCAN PRINCES INTRODUCTION Once India's independence was announced, many of the smaller princely states sought to cobble up confederations for themselves. Chicanery and duplicity were widely prevalent at every level of the Princely States. As threat to their fiefdoms grew, these states pursued every possible strategy to defend their autonomy. One such move came about in the Deccan, where eight of the 18 Princely States entered into a covenant to protect themselves not only against the British, but also the Indian National Congress.
