CHAP'rEU II.. Adn1inistration of Land. 20. The chnrge of the Rerenne Department remained with ~It·. H.nisinghji till 7th January 1927 when he having resigned, :Mr. Kes lm v1 a) 0. J osbi was appointed as R.even ue Commissioner · oE the State. He took over -charge of the Department ori 26th January 19:~7 . .Mr. Goknltlm; Devchatld who was appointed as Assistant He\·euue Commissioner, took. over charge of his office on 24th .Jauual'y 1921. He wot·ked in the office of the Revenue Commis- 1-liouer till 19-5-27 when he was stationed at ldar. 21. Tbe lda1· 8tnte is devided into six Mahals for admini stndi ve put·posel::l. Last yenr there were 9 Mahals which were for tbe sak~, of eom·enience reduced to six in the year under report an1l ear::h Mabal was placed in charge of a l\Iamlatdar. Two Mnhals Yiz .ltlnJ' HlHl Vadali were placed under the direct s{1per yi:-;ion· of liJe As~istaut Revenue Commissjoner. 22. TIH~ tutal mimber of villages in the State exclusive of .. prtty hnnllet~ "'fiB 923 of which 383 are Khalsa, State village:-~: -19! alienated, 1 disputed and 44 co-shared Kbal:' Smrey.

J:J 4-± 17 7 lG Co-share Al ienate 'l'()tal... 21 G:3 7 3G 19 I 9 As the ~'tork of the :Survey Department was ~oing on slowly owing to inadequate staff, it was thought necessary to st1·engthen it during the year under report by appointing new and experienced ::\Iojnidars and Classers. A new Survey Super· intendent svas also appointed as the post was vacant. 23. rrhe total area of cnltnrable hnd under Khalsa Villages was 2,-±1,000 aeres and under co--shared villages 37,000 acres, grand total being ::?,78,000 acres of which 1,56,000 acres of land was occupied in Khalsa vil1ages and 22000 acres in co-Bhared vill(lges, leaving respectively 83000 acres of land in Khalsa and 15000 in co-shared villages as unoccupied during the year of report. Land lensed out during the year of report was 44271 acres as. against 1713:1: in the last year tmd acreage of land relinquished was 10183 as against 9865 in 1925-26. This shows a satisfactory progress as regar 2G. Land I'e\'enue denu\nds of the State amounted to Rs. 7,13,86-± during the year under report owing ·Demands and to resumption and increased occupation of land Collections of as against Rs. 6,63,073 out of which Rupees land revenue. 7,01,93-± were collected as against Rs. 6,45,604 last year. This shows a steady increase in the land reyenne of the State. 27. There is only one Hazur Treasury at Himatnagar and no Sub Treasuries in ~Iahals. Th(;\ necessity of opening the same iri different i\Iahals is felt and the subject is under considet·a tion. The opening of Sub Treasuries is likely to afford gl'eate~· facilities in receiving and m~ddng payments and speed np ·the account work. Till the Sub Treasuries in the 1\Iahals al'e opene:l a syst3m of accounts suitable to the new require ments is introduced hom the ensuing year in the Mahals tbat \Yonld sel·,-e the ~1sefnl purpose of checking revenue demands n n<1 their proper recoveries. 28. Hemissions granted during the year under report amounted to Rs. 12,928 as against 2,110 last year, leaving the total la1Hi revenue arrears to the extent of Rs. 1,97,884 at the enrl oE the year as against Rs. 2,01,882 last year which sho'ivs a decrease in the amount of arrears over the last year's fignres. 10 29. Dnring the year am1er report 418 notices were issued ns ngainst 896 last year but in no case the Coerci,·e property of the defaulters had to be nttnchecl. measure::; for This is really satisfactory as no recourse had recon~ry. to be resorted to adopt any coercive measures. 30. The arrears of Taecavi advances and loans gi-ren from the Agricul tnral Bank amounted at the end Tacca Yi ad yan of the last year to Hs. 4,393 and the amount ces and loans of fresh advances and loans given during the from .A gricnl year of report was Rs. 2,330 which with tural Bank. Hs. 127 on acconnt of iutere~.t accruing due in the year brought the figure to Rs. 6,850. Out of this, only . Rs. 2G7 were reconecl, le~wing Rs. 6,583 outstanding at the end of the year. 31. Dming the year under report 47 acres and 1 guntha of land was resumed f{·om Barkhali lands against 9 acres and 7 gunthas last year. 32. There were 30 estates under State management at the close of the previous yeat'. During the Estates under year of report 13 estates were placed under State attachment while 7 were relieved from it, management. leavin!te " the number of attached estates at the j!llcl of the year at 36. The grounds for at- tachment of these t.'3tates were (1) minority of the present holders in 17 cases, (21 encumbered condition of the estate in 12 and (3) disputed succession or title in 7. CHAPTER III. Peotection. ( rt) LEGISLATION. ~l3. The proscription against !llE:.clustan, Prajamat and Saui·ashtra. papers ~nd the or.de~· which necessitated in the ca~e of ~a few Idantes pre-r1ous permiSSIOn to enter the State limits were a hrogated soon after taking charge of his office by the Dewan. Existing rulel:l regarding intestate succession were modified so ns to make it optional for first fourteen heh·s of the deceased to obtain an heirsbip certificate and a reduction of 50 per cent was made in the scale of fees levied in the case of agnates. In this connection it was further enacted that coguisance of such cases should be taken by judicial courts only . . ~4. With a view to secure uniformity and certainty of the prevmlmg laws nnd the procedure obtainable in Yarious matters of litigation~ the follo\Ying British laws were introduced from 1st May 1927 mutatis mutandis:- 11 (1) Criminal Procedure Code, Act V of 1898 with subsequent amendments. (2; Cidl Procedure Code, Act V of 1908 amended upto date. (:J) Illllian Penal Code, Act XLV ?f 1860 amended up to date. (4) Indian Contract Act, Act IX of 1872 amended upto clute. (5) Limitation Act, Act IX of 1908, amended upto elate. In this connection it was further notified that future am endments in case of the aboYe mentioned laws would be appli cable in State limits and that in other matters the spirit of British laws will be follo\Yed as far as possible. The enactments that are in force in the State are specified in Appendix II. There are separate rules also regarding opium, extradition and Border Court in force in the State. i35. It is much to be regretted that unwholesome activities of a few busybodies brought about a temporary prohibition of . political meetings. It was confidently hoped at the time that better sense among the people would soon prevail resulting in . cancellation of this measure and the measure was ultimately can c~llecl by orders issued soon after the close of the year. (b) l\1ILITARY. 3G. The Idar Sir Pratap Infantry consists of one Company Class B ( :1: Platoons and Head Quarters) with Organis;ation. the total sanctioned strength of 150. 37.

In consequence of the Dewan being empowered to exercise the powers of a High Court, it was necessary to appoint au able and a competent hand as a Sessions Judge and a Judge of the First Appellate CoUL't. A .loan of the s:r\"ices of Mr. Ichhasbanker\ 1\. Pandya, n. A, LL. n., w1th an expenence of the judicial line, was therefore asked for from the ·western India States Agency, the Juna~aclh Stnte where he was serving as a Sar NyayaJ.hish having kindly agreed to sp:n·e his services. l\ll'. Pandya took oyer chnr~e as ~ar Nyayadhish here on 20-3-19~7. The number of magisterial courts in the State at the 15 close of the year under report was 14 as against 15 in the previous year. 'J.lhe continuance of a Second Class Magistrate's court at· Himatnagar side by side with a First Class Magistrate's court being found superfluous, the same was abolished and the District 1\la~istrate's powers were vested in the Sar Nyayadhish. The ],irst Class .Magistrate's court at Himatnagar ·was manned with a f!UZ~.lified LL.B. The status of the court of the Sabalpur-Bayad Taluka was raised from the grade of a Second Class Magistrate to that of a First Class Magistrate and a qualified LL.B. was selected to fill up that post. The convenience and the needs of the people at and about Idar necessitated the opening of a court at Idar and a First Class Magistrate's court with civil powers of a :b,irst Class Subordinate Judge was established early in the year and like the courts at Himatnagar and Sabalpur, a qualified LL.B. was also appointed there. The Magistrate at Bhiloda who exercis ed 3rd Cla~s jurisdiction during the previous year was invested with 2nd Class powers wHh a view to enhance the facilities of the general public. As the practice of appointing a public prosecutor for each sessions case and appeal entailed hardship, a permanent post for the same was created, and a q11alifiecl High Court pleader was selected to fill up the post from among the local bar. 'rhe number of courts exercising magisterial jurisdiction referred to above are as detailed below:- (a) STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES. 1 District l\lagistrate. 3 .B"'lirst Class l\Iagistrates at Himatnagar, [dar and 8abal pur with powel's to commit cases to the Court of Sessions. 2 Second C!a~Ss .Magistrates at Bhiloda and Vadali.

It will not be out of place to remark that th6 Border Court system has outli-ved its time. 'l'he perpetrators 8\'en of the most heinous offences are accor ding to present Border Court rules visited with a very light pnnislnneut and it is high time for all the border States to combine for devising a uniform extradition ·code.

They ·will show that' there were 26 documents pending registration at the end of the previous year. 351 new documents were presented fot• registra ton during the year under report as against 287 in the previous 'year. Out of the total of 377 docu::(:nents, 3±7 were registered, registry was refused in 6 cases, and 2! remained unregisteeed at the close of the year. The aggregate -rdue of the registered docunents during the year amounted to Rs. 1, 43, 763 against Rs. 1, 35, 9:1:2 in 1925-26. There were three registration a ppenls preferred against the decisions of Sub Registrars, and all of them were disposed of. The registration fees realized during the year amounted to Rs. 1431 as against Rs. 1125 in the preceding year. 71. A care1\1l perusal o E the several figures will show an abnormal increase in the various branches of litigation. This 0 is due to the increasing faith of the pe;<:ple in the newly re-organised judicinry aud the facility pr~~idecl for seeking redress for their grievnnces. Tbe figures themselves are eloquent enough and need uo further comment. (j) MuNICIPALITIEs. 72.

Mr. J. V. Patel, who is experienced in forestry and lac cnlti va tion, wa~ appointed Forest Officer during the year under report. He wns asked to study the local conditions and submit the working plans. There are many Babul, Khakhra and Bore trees in the k!mraba lands a11d some of the forests of the State which have lnen uptil now used ns fuel wood. The scheme is prepared to introduce lac cultivation and with this view a small experiment has been made during the year of report to attach lac insects to Babnls, Khakhrae and Bol'e trees and if the experiment proves successful, anJ it is hoped it will, the trees .cont!!lidered useless at present awl fit ouly for fuel wood will be utilised for lac cultiration extensi veJy and made to yield a better return. 79. It is proposed to have a Forest Nursery wherein plants of Sandal, Eucalyptus, Kaju, Teak, Kokam and such other preci ous trees will be reareJ and planted at different places in the ~tate Forests in suitable blocks aucl only those trees which find the soil and climate of the country congenial to their healthy gro~hp w1'1 l be propagated. • 80. Uptil now no systc::matic cutting was done when trees were felled and auy and every useful tree used to become a victim t_o the axe of a wood cutter. }llnny precious trees have thus been cut off and sold in the market as fuel wood. This sort of cut ting nt random has been 11ow stopped and a coup system -will be introduced. 81. Tl1e forests that still contain precious trees will be strictly reserved aud it is under contemplation to have the forests demarcated for which a Surveyor is appointed. 82. The wood· cutters are warned to resort to systematic cutting based ou improved method as approved by the Forest Department of the British Government and efforts are being made to develop the Forests of the State side by side with agriculture ·as both tbese industries afford great scope and possibilities of fntui·e development. lXDUSTRIES. 83.

During the prec~ding year an experiment was trietl to amal~amate the Customs with the ReP~nue Department with a view to economise ~xpenditme after Nnkadars Ol' the collecting agency. As a result of the exiperiment it was found that the State had suffered a seyere loss in income owing to the disappe~ arance of an agency which ''"as propedy responsible for the collection. The Departments were therefore separated in the beginning of January 1927 with the result that \rithin a few months of the separation there wns nn appreciable reriYal in the rea lisa ti ons. 9±. The 'raluka' of Bayflll, interspersed as it is \Yith Agency ancl British m·ens, felt itself much handicnpped in the de,relopment of trade and commerce by tile existing system of collection of customs for import alHl export commodities. The cultivators antl merchants of thnt ~raluka made a pel'sonal demand to convert this levy into a fixed annual payment to be paid l>y culti,·ators on land, and by traders in a lump sum on an ayerage of the preceding ten years' realisations, which request of theirs was granted to the satisfaction of all clhsses of people residing in that 'ralnka. But subsequently on tbe complaint of old cnlti,·atol's 'that by the change the ne\v culth,ators were better off, the rate :l.n the case of the former "·as lowered. 93. The principal articlPs of export in the year undee reYiew were \Yheat, .:\laize, Til, Rapeseed, Castol'-seetls, ::\Iethi, 'robacco, Gram, .i\lahma-seeds and flowers, Ghee, Gum, Cotton and cotton seeds while the principal imports ·were Jagg-ery, Sngttr, Rice, Yarn, Cloth, ~alt, spiee::;, Cocounts Tin, Iron, Coppel' mHl brass vessels. 9G.

The Public 'Yorks Department needed a qualified hand and to secure a competent and energetic man to work as Chief Engineer, applications were indted. Out of the candidates wh~ applied for the post, ~Ir. Rang1ldas H. Kothari, B. E, was selected \ as the best of the lot and appointed to the post. After his taking over charge on 1-4-1927, the Department was i·e-organised and the supervising staff aLlequately increased. 98. A provisional programme of Public \Yorks is prepared wherein precedence has been gi veu to useful new works. A scheme for the regular repairs t<;> roads in the State has also been prepared and it is being carried out. 99. The total expenditme on Public Works during the year amounted to Rs. 89,548 as against Rs. 65,567 in the preceding year. 'fhe various~ details of the expenclitme will be found in Appendix XIX. Among the new works constructed in the year1 may be rnentioned (1) Infantry Barracks with Kitchen and Dining Room, (2) Infantry Jamadars quarters, (:3) A. V.

In June 1928 a complete High School wit.h full equipment will be thrown open. The staff of the school is being replenished and competent graduates are being recruit0d to fill the vncancies. Two new graduates have nll'early heen appointed and qnalified teachers will be aclclecl to the stnff at an early .dnte. I 124. 'rhis sehool which was tenching only npto Stcl III has been s . Their average daily attendnnce remained at; 2833 as agaim~t 2614 of the last year. 'rhe percentnge of the school going children as compared with the total population was 10 87. This percentage is rathet· low, hnt in comse of time there is evet·y reason to hope that it will be· on the upwm·d gemle. 127. The total expenses of tho Depnrtment, dul'ing the yeat· .Cost.. under report, came to Rs. 32,:330-10-7 ngainst Hs. 30,860 lnst year. Over and above these expenses the State hns spent Rupees 13 000 over the construction of new school bnil<.lings and repairs to ' existitig school bt1ih1ings. With the existing fiunncin I position of the State, it was not possible ·at onee to g·o in fol' many mol'e schools, but ot~ a o·enernlreview of the situation, when it was found that the quahty ~f education in1parted was not such a.s it should be, both because the schools were nmlermauued and the t-tnff lowly paid, it was o·ht necessarv more to concentrate on quality than on quantity tllOUo J • . • f 1 ff by engaging l'nore ham.1s and nnpl'ovmg the salal'leS o t 1e stn . B-1 It was also found necessary to equip the schools with neee~ sary materials atHl also to impl'ore 8nch of them as were badly out of repair. During the year unL1et· report fmnitnre (in duLling maps and books) worth Rs. 1,210 was purchnseLl for the u:-:;e of the ~dwols and the same was supplied to schools that stood in goocl neeL1 of it. In order to encom·age e(lncation muong ltis subjects His Highness has been kind enough to prodde for f_!:!e education both iu Vernacular and English schools. 128. 'Vitl1 a view to maintain discipline an(l enforce regular attendance an imposition o[ IIOminnl fines fot· il'l'egulat· attendance and re-admission Ius been imp!'O\'is8d. The fines and fees thus realized are spent solely for the pmpose or games aud amuse ments of the school boys. 129. For want of a High School in the State in order to help deser·dng sttllh'nts desiring to go for 8cbool Scholarships. Leaving Examinntion, nnd for higer e<1ncation both in English rllld VenHirnlar, ~·chobrf'hip:-; worth Rs. 2,100 were sanctiotH'Ll fol' the year. Out of the F\tm1ents that p1ssed English VI 8tanrlnnl, L'om :-:tnclent~ desired to go fur further studies and three of them were g;i ,-en a mou tit ly scholar ship of Hs. 15/- each. A scholar:-:hip of B.s. '2-1/- pet· month \Yas given to a st'udent attending tbe Gnjarnt College at Ahmedabad. A teacller w!Jo wa:-: sening in tlti:-: Department wns giren a montlJly scholarsllip of Rs. 15/- and sent to Premclwud llaichond 'l'miniug College! Alnnedabad. One femnle candidate "·as ~i,·en a montllly scholarship of R'l. 15/- but unfortunately site could not get ~:H1mis sion in the nlahalaxmi Training College and so she had to postpone her intention or going to tlte Training College. lilO. Besides making eLlucal.ion completely ft·ee, liberal help was gi,·en in the :year undet· report to deserving poor students stuuying in the Englis.l! Scl,ool at ldar, for defraying their expeuses at the Kesari Boarding House at Jdar. 'l'he Kesari Boarding House has been managed by the ldnr Pmjakiya Vidyotejnk .Fnu;l Committee and it received an nnuunl graut of Hs. 4:.!0/- from tLe State. His Highness hus been pleased to increase this gmnt from .Rs. 420/- to Us. 7~0/- since i':>eptember 1927. 131. The boys in tlw Pl'imnry Schools r.Iso are mrult~ tn take regnlm· exercise and thr.y generally play Physical Indian out-door l-(nmes. Sanr.tion has heen Education. given to supply all the schools freshly with matHials neces;;;ary fot· L1nily C'XC't'ei)':e. 35 132. The Depn rtmen t has paid no less attention to the scout movemeut . which is now mumimonsly Boy Scouts. acknowledged to be very se1·viceable in all stage~ of life. During the year under repo1·t boys 1n English schools wel'e t1·ninecl in scouting an1l a teacher from the English 8chool was specially gi ''en n ~ scbohuship for receiving training nt the Scout l\Iaster's Class. Very soon we hope to have a scout-troop and every cal'e is being taken to see that our troops will ben model Scout tt·oop, that will be of gl'eat use on all occasions, wheuever its services will be required ancl later on it is contemplated to have a similar troop of Gil'l Guides . . 133. During his tom· fol' it1spection the Eclncational Office'!.; tried to imp~·e~s upon the minds of st.ude.nts, l\loral teachers and guardians of stndeuts that education Eduention. without charactet· is absolutely useless and child- hood is the time fot• fol ming character. rreachers have been instructed to tnke special care of this side of education. Short and interesting stories fl'om Ramnyan and \Jahabhnrat, beai·ing upon so}ne good mot·al principle, are genel'ally related in ·classes. 13± ~1 he distinctive fentm·es of the EducntioJ1nlDepartment . of. the State has been a steady effoA made in val'ious directions to improve the qnality of education"'impartecl in the various State · seJ;wols. By way of encoul'agement teachers, w!Jose ·work is found to be satisfactory, have been awarded prizes by the Departme1-it. It is hoped that such pdzes will inspire othet· t.enchers to \Vork more strenuously and to compete fol' the .pl'ize. 133. 'l,he Examination resnlts and the visi toes' remarks go to show clearly that tbe wol'lc done in the vernacular and English schools during the year nndet• repol't waR q1iite sati:;;faC'tory. It may be mentiomed hel'e with a s01·t of pl'ide that clueing the la~t Vernacular Fin.al Examination, ont of 13' students seut from the various State schools, 10 stmlents hnve come out successful, one of them standing first ammJgst all the successful candidates in the whole. of ti;e Northel'n Division. 136. 'rhe · Annunl Examination of the State schools were conducted by the E(lucational Officee assisted by the E(lucational Inspector. ancl by the Head .Mnstet·, Ga.hat A.

During the course of _the yeal' under repo•·t, several respec table gentlem~n paid visits to different State sehools and sweets and prizes wortl_1 Hs. 125 were distributed by them. 137. In Septemb~1· 1927, a prize distl'ibution ceremony of the Prize State Schools was held at ldar undel' the pl'esi- Distribi1tion, clentship of the Political Agent, .1\Iahi Kantha, ~Iajor A. 8 . .Meek, .c. III. G., wll? aftel' .giving away the prizes to the students, delivered a very mterestmg address as mHler :- "I han~ listeue'Ll with intel'est to the speech of the Edncntio11al Officer and it is with m.uch pleasnre I say a few wonls in reply. First of all I would sny how p;rl:"ntly I rep;l'et that His High· ness. has been preYented by n slight ntta<;k of i11flnenzn from beiug present tollny, indisposition from \Vhich I hop£>, as we all hope, that he will speedily recover. I am particularly sorry tlmt His Highnes:'l is 11ot here with us for 1 felt very strongly n wish to show him hel'e in pnblic this aftemoon my very keen sympathy with the work of progressive administration which he has initiated and is carrying on. His Highness has been subjected to malign· aud ungenet·ons attack, in certain qnarte!'s. 'rhnt is a matter with which His Higlm<~ss 'will deal in his own ~-~:ood time and I ha \re uo wish to examine it llere; bnt I do wish today to show in public. that as Political Agent I feel stl'ongly Col' the .Mahamja Saheb in this mntter and that 1 il-tand with him. \Vhatever it be that we see pnblished in cel'tain. newspap3t'a we heee all know that His Highness is cal'rying on an ordered and l'ight administ.m tion which h~s the confidence of Go\re1·nment ~nd of responsibly minded people who know anything of' the facts. Th~ State has as its Dewan hn Officer with a fine record of achievenwnt in State busines5 and he is !'>erved by a band of qualified assi:;;tnnt8. I was grently imp1·esse •ro · revert now to things sr;holnstic which have been tl1e theme of the Educational Officel''s l'eport I uote with gL"eat plensnre the decision of the Durbar that a High School will be established. 'I'he State is a Stnte of the countl'y alld of villages and possesses no lal'gc towns such as make particniar demaud fol' highet· etlu catioll. Nevertheless it is right that the Dm·bal' should ~-~:ire facility fot· snell highet· education to those requiring it and its decision in this mattel' will be widely welcomed. I claim ct·eclit for the fact that the State has now its own complete colltrol of its educational affairs in whir>h formerly the Agency had concem, and [ hope tlmt nudet· the new m·t·angements thel'e will be a steady advance mnde l\luch howen'L' eanuot be immediately achiHed for educational facilities cau o11ly be extended as the finaneial position of .the f:)~ate permits; mHl the Jngirdars and thfl people must recog~tse tins :fact and learn to associate themseh·es with the Darbar m educatiOnal progress. I am glnd to see refel'ence 111,"<1e t tl Bl ·1 " o te 11 s who fonn nn important IO'lement in the population of the hilly tracts. The 87 Bhils are still \ery bnck\yard but in Itlar and neighbouring ;:tates there is strong evidence of advancement among them and I ha,~e found in my own special enquiries a stenlly progre.ss in civilization among this primitive and attractive people who are geadnally he coming more efficient hnsbantlmen an The atte~1tion being given to the training 0f boy ·scouts and to physical drill anll games is all to the good and I hopt'l that. ·these features will in future be strongly prominent iu the educa tional scheme. I would suggest to 1\lnharaja Knrnar Himat Singh who has shown such keen intet·est in the State Infantt'y that these are subjects in which he is speeially competent to take a controlling hand. I wonl(l ask the Dtiebar to keep a close watch on progress being made elsewheee in finding a right fonn of instruction for the pueely rm•11l schools. I conclude by ass11riug the Dnrbar of the interest and sympathy of the Agency in its educational work and I ask )ron to give three llearty cheet·s foe His Highness in recognition of his announcement of the establishment of a High ~chool." 138. Besides the State schools thel.'e were in the yenr under report 8 :Sanskrit Patbshalas, 1 Anglo Private Veruaculat· School, 2 .::\Ia(leesns, and 5 1\[ission Institutions. Hchools. All these institutions were conducted by mea11s of private fnuds nnd had 720 pupils on their rolls during the year. 139. The numbee of Knmars ft·om subonlinate Jaghit·s of Eutteation of the State attending the Scott College at Sadra K uinars ·of · durin~! the year of report was 9 as against 1 in Jagirclars.' the preceding year. 'rhe nnmber of Kumars taking education in the ,·arious State schools in the .year was 52. CHAPTER VHI. Miscellaneous. LIBRARIES. 140. There are two libraries in the State, one being the 38 Wodehouse Library at Idar, which is free to tl1e public and the other being the Dmbnr Library iu the Palace at Himatnngar, which contains a large number of useful books on literatul'e, science, history, philosophy and arts in English, Gujnrati, Sanskrit aud Hindi.
