Emerging Urban Land Use Characteristics of Jhansi City Emerging Urban Land Use Characteristics of Jhansi City Janki Prasad 1 Abstract Jhansi city is characterised by multifarious uses of land under different urban functions such as commercial, residential, industrial, administrative, recreational, etc. It also characterised by mixed land use in various parts like administrative-cum-residential in civil line, commercial- cum-residential in walled city, etc. The land use zones are not yet developed in the city due to lack of proper implementation of master plans. The city is growing with the increase of population and the urban functions. Topographical features and socio-economic factors made centralised or decentralised urban functions in different parts of the city. Surface configuration, city wall, administrative, transportation and commercial functions played a vital role in the shaping of land use in Jhansi city. Rapid urbanisation and means of transportation caused urban sprawl especially along the radiating roads and established various social and economic institutions as well as residential buildings. The study is an attempt to describe the land use characteristics of entire urban landscape and identify its processes that shape the built environment in different forms. It will be helpful in preparation of development plan of the city. The study will be useful for the administrators and planners as well as applied geographers. © 2014 GSS Journals.

Introduction Urban land provides base for the interactions between spatial configurations and functions. Urban land uses differ with development of the modern society in each other not only in their areal coverage terms of its built environment. The urban but also in their different morphological land use pattern is the result of the main structures. Its study becomes essential as a municipal functions that hold central part of analysis of different functions’ importance to planning, research and (Sharma and Mishra, 2011, p.11). ‘Land use action in urban geography. ‘Land use in a pattern of a city is a reflection of city has a unique structure because of its anthropogenic transformation of land and 1 Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, I.G.N.

Chauhan and East Central Railways. Indian Railways (IR) plays a very General Manager important role in development of the state and provides North Central Railway connectivity for freight and passengers, including international tourists. IR has a history of more than 160 years in the state and has the highest route kilometers - 9100 route kilometers - within it, which is 14% of entire railway network. IR has made Uttar Pradesh proud by giving it Nation's first semi high speed train Gatimaan Express, which initially ran between Agra and Delhi. It has now been extended upto Jhansi with effect from 01.04.2018 - a move that will boost tourism in bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Efforts for further development of railway infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh have been intensified in last four years with 376% more investment in comparison to previous years. Results of such a massive investment are becoming visible with enhanced infrastructure and modern passenger amenities. Soon the era of congestion and inconvenience will be a matter of past and a new Railway equipped with state-of-the-art facilities will be able to serve the citizens with greater level of satisfaction. The longest stretch of the under construction Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor i.e. almost 57% of the entire length lies in Uttar Pradesh from Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Jn. to Ghaziabad. In this brochure, we have compiled the important contributions and achievements of Indian Railways in the development of the JHANSI constituency of Uttar Pradesh in the last four years.

  • Characterization of Fly Ash Generated from Parichha Thermal Power Station in Jhansi, India
    ISSN: 0973-4945; CODEN ECJHAO E-Journal of Chemistry http://www.e-journals.net 2011, 8(1), 400-404 Characterization of Fly Ash Generated from Parichha Thermal Power Station in Jhansi, India K. VIMLESH * and A. K. GIRI Institute of Environment and Development Studies Bundelkhand University, Jhansi, India [email protected] Received 14 July 2010; Accepted 26 August 2010 Abstract : Ash samples were collected from a dumping site (fly ash) and an electronic precipitator (ESP) of a 640MW thermal power station for characterization. Analysis of ash sample showed that the major matrix elements in fly ash were Si and Al together with significant percentage of K, Fe, Ca, and Mg. Some of the biologically toxic elements Ni, Cr, Pb, B, and Mo, were also present in substantial amounts. The saturation moisture percentages of both ashes were higher, but bulk density lower, than the normal cultivated soils. Keywords: Fly ash, Thermal power station , Toxic elements. Introduction Increased use of coal for electric power generation results in large quantities of fly ash and other residues which require proper handling and disposal. In India, about 75% of the electricity is generated by coal based thermal power plants which produce nearly 65 million tons/ year of fly ash as a by product 1. Disposal of fly ash has adverse impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems due to leaching of toxic substances from the ash into soil and ground water as well as reduction in plant establishment and growth . The fly ash is currently used in land filling in construction industry as filler in asphalt mix stabilizer for road bases thermal insulation and deodorization of animal wastes 2.
