PREFACE On the suggestion of the Census Commissioner, India, the Government of MaKarasl:i.tra. decided to publish the District Census Handbooks on the basis of the material collected during ~ the 1961 Census for all the districts in Maharashtra. A Committee consisting of the Executive Editor and Secretary of the District Gazetteers (Revision) Editorial Board, the Superintendent of Census Operations, Maharashtra, and the Director, Bureau of Economics and Statistics, Maharashtra, was appointed to determine the contents and review the drafts of each volume. This is one of the twenty.five volumes compiled in the Maharashtra Census Office and published under that scheme. District Handbooks had been published from the 1951 Census data also. As in the past, the present volume contains a set of 1961 Census Tables for the district and also presents basic demographic and economic information for each village separately. The following improve­ ments have, however, been m1de in the 1961 series ;- (i) The addition of a comprehensive note introducing the district; (ii) The four-coloured map of the district; (iii) Taluka maps showing the location of each village in the district supplemented by alphabetical lists of villages; (iv) Supplementary information showing basic amenities available for each village; and (v) Addition of Part III containing 33 Tables on other official statistics. These new features will make the volume a valuable reference for the Central and State Governments, District Administrators, departments engaged in planning and development work, legislators, private trade and business. Need for such material is far greater today as the functions of planning and implementation of development schemes have now percolated to district, taluka and village levels. Marathi version of this volume is also being issued separately. Part I of the volume pr\:sents villagewise statistics, Part II contains the 1961 Census Tables prepared for the district and Part III contains official statistics on Climate, Rainfall, Agri~ culture, Industry, Education, Health and a few other aspects. An explanatory note is added at the beginning of each part to describe the layout of the Tables and the terms or concepts used. Parts I and II are based entirely on the data collected at the 1961 Census. Part III is based on the material furnished by the District Statistical Officer and the officers of the depart­ ments concerned. Villagewise populations shown in Part I are valid for Sunrise of 1st March 1961 and are not adjusted for seasonal migration to or from other areas. The introductory note at the beginning of the volume describes the present administrative set-up and some of the socia-economic facets of life in the district. It will illustrate how the statistics presented in the volume could be used for economic accounting or as controls of plan achievements in the district. For this note, we have drawn heavily on the District Gazetteers, iv PREFACE Survey and Settlement Reports, Annual Administration Reports and other Government publications. Some Heads of Departments also supplied the latest available material for the volume. Weare indebted to them all. Any views expressed in the introductory note or elsewhere in the volume are personal and the Government is not responsible for them. In the Census Office, everyone has done something for this stupen dous task of compila­ tion and collation of statistics, preparation of notes and reading of proofs. I should specially mention Shri N. Y. Gore, Tabulation Officer, for his sincere and thorough work on compilation and proof reading of Part I, Shri G. S. Gokarn, Tabulation Officer, for his painstaking work on MSS and proofs of Parts II and III, Shri S. K. Deshp::mdc, Shri D. G. Pansare and Shri R. E.Chowdhary for assistance in preparing the introductory note, Shri S. Y. Pradhan and Shri B. M. N agarkar, Draughtsmen, for Maps, Charts and Diagrams. Shri S. G. Deshpande of our office at Nagpur looked after the layout of the Tables and printing of the volume. Shri R. G. Phadke and Shri D. V, Rangnekar, Deputy Superintendents of Census Operations, and Shri G. M. Rajadhyaksha, Tabulation Officer, made valuable contributions at all stages and specially in the preparation of notes. Acknowledgments are due to Shri S. R. Desai, Manager, Government Press and Book Depot, Nagpur, and Shri J. D. Gandhi, Manager, Government Photozinco­ graphic Press, Poona. In spite of heavy;pressur(of work on their presses they did their best to print this volume speedily. I am obliged to Shri Asok Mitra, I.e.s., Census Commissioner, India, for valuable suggestions for improving this volume. I am also indebted to Shri Setu Madhava Rao and Shri M. A. Telang, Members of the District Census Handbook Com mittee, who not only supplied useful material from their departments!bu(also read through the MSS and encouraged us through this venture. POONA: B.

A total of 114 species of butterflies belonging to 6 families were recorded. Most of the butterflies recorded belong to the family Nymphalidae (35 species). 34 Lycaenidae species were recorded. A total of 18 Hesperiidae and 18 Pieridae species were recorded, 8 species were recorded from the Papilionidae and 1 species from the Riodinidae family. Among the 114 butterflies recorded, 9 species come under the protection category of the Indian Wild Life (protection) Act 1972 (i.e., Pachliopta hector, Appias albina, Appias libythea, Eurema an- dersonii, Euploea core, Hypolimnas misippus, Euchrysops cnejus, Lampides boeticus, Ionolyce helicon, Baoris farri). The observations support the value of the National Park (Re- serve forest) area in providing valuable resources for butterflies.

  • Analysis of Ground Water of Hinganghat Region Using Physico-Chemical Parameters

Nagpur-441001, M.S. (INDIA) 3N. H. College, Bramhapuri, Dist. Chandrapur-441206, M.S. (INDIA) 4Department of Consumer Affairs, National Test House, Government of India, Kolkata,India 5* DharampethM.P.Deo Science College,Dist. Nagpur-441001, M.S. (INDIA) [email protected] Abstract: The aim of present study was carried out to assess the status of the ground water in Hinganghat city. Attempts were made to study and analyze the Physico-Chemical characteristics of the Ground water. Samples taken randomly from eight different locations of city. Various parameters like pH, Total dissolved solids, Alkalinity, Dissolved oxygen, Chemical Oxygen Demand, BOD, DO, EC, Nitrate, Chloride, Sodium, Potassium, Sulphate, Fluoride etc. give a picture of quality parameters of ground water. The results considered that the ground water of the study area in general can be considered as good quality. Parameters which were taken for study the water quality are below the pollution level for ground water which satisfy the requirement for the use of various purposes like domestic, agricultural, industrial etc. All Physico-Chemical parameters were compared with Indian standards of water quality. It was suggested that there should be regular monitoring and control of human activities to protect the ground water from contaminations.
