FOREWORD Modem Census has beconle an indispensable instrument {)f policy and development planning. It needs hardly be stressed that a Census is not mere counting of heads. It is a kind of slOck-t;lking as it were, of the nation's human wealth. Census aims to present a complete picture of man, in hi!) social, cultural and economic setting. Recognising its role of having to serve the needs of the planner, policy maker, administrator and the academician, the Census Organisation from time to tiIDe arranges discussions with the main data users and 'Seeks guidance in planning its operations. However, for a further and more realistic appre­ Ciation of the data thrown up by the Census on various aspects of the life of the community, it has been realised that more and more empirical studies /would require to be undertaken in order to "invest the dry bones of statistics with flesh and blood accounts of social structure and social change". This requirement was kept in view even while planning the 1961 Census. The ~tudies undertaken as ancillary to it and parti. cularly the socia-economic survey of five hundred and odd villages throughout the conntry provided an insight into the meaning of the statistical data in terms of real life situations. India is, no doubt, predominantly rural. But it will not be long before the country achieves a break through in the process of urbanisation. With the increasing -tempo of eco­ nomic and industrial development of the country large scale urbanisation is bound to come. Urbanisation has become sine qua non of progress. Urban centres are undoubtedly the centres of dissemination of knowledge, new ideas, technical skills anel so on. This influences the life around till more and mOre areas get urbanised. India is at this interesting transitional stage and the Census Organisation thought it fit to undertake studies to get a deeper insight into the growth of small towns which are likely to play an important role in the life and economy of the community in the near future. The 1971 Census has' programmed to compile a separate Town Directory giving certain basic data pertaining to each town in the country. This is proposed to be supplemented by fairly detailed accounts of about 200 towns selected for study all over the country which may help to understand the intensity (ii) and direction of the socio~conomic forces generated by urba· nisation as also affecting the process of urbanisation and its impact on the rural neighbourhood. There is also a special operational need of the Census, which requires urban studies to be taken up. There is a point of view in some countries that the presentation of the Census data in terms of rural-urban dichotomy is unrealistic. There are, on the one hand, rural areas with' urban ways of life; on the other, there are pockets in Urban areas with~ folk ways and rural vestiges. Perhaps in India there is still some clear cut distinction between the rural and urban areas which is, however, gradually eroding. The proposed stlldies are ex· pected to indicate how much rural the urban areas are and how much urban the rural areas are. In December 1967, a seminar was organised to examine the different aspects of urban studies, with the participation of a galaxy of town planners, Anthropologists, Sociologists, Geographers, Economists, Demographers, etc. On the sugges­ tion of the seminar an Advisory Committee wa, set up and in consultation with the same, the followin!l criteria for selec­ tion of towns for special studies were laid 'down. SIZE: While the larger proportion of the tmxns selected for special studies should be small to'w115 of the population size of about 20,000 or less, a number of medium size towns, with population of upto one lakh each and a number of cities with population of more than one -lakh each, shou1d also bc~ ,tudied. DEMOGRAPHIC FEATURES: While selecting the towns the following demographic features also should be kept III View. (a) Growth Rate-towns with (i) high gro'wth rate (ii) low growth rate and (iii) negative growth rate. (b) Dell5ity of Population-wwns with (i) high density of population, (ii) medium density of population, and (iii) low density of population. (c) Age-(i) Old historical towns which are still growing, (ii) Old declining towns, and (iii) new towns, should be represented. (iii) FUNCTIONAL TYPES: The sample should include towns representing each of the functional types as follows: (a) Service, (b) Mining or Plantation, (c) Craft (traditional), (d) Manufacturing (non-traditional), (e) Construction, (f) Trade and Commeyce, (g) Transport.

  • Rudrama Devi : the Warrior Queen
    laosnuk&2021 Vol. III Issue-1 ISSN 2581-9917 RUDRAMA DEVI : THE WARRIOR QUEEN Aradhana Singh* Our history textbooks are replete with tales of powerful and brave Kings (read men), fighting hard in the battlefield to save their realm from threats within and outside the dominion. However, women are conspicuously missing from this ‘valorous’ narrative, where we rarely hear of female rulers and queens. Does this mean that not a single woman in history occupied the throne or ruled even one of the innumerable regional and nationwide kingdoms we hear of? Or even when historical sources highlight a few instances where women actually navigated through powerful positions, By Simran Tyagi historians and writers of history chose to look the other way and subdue such narratives? Unfortunately, here, the latter seems to be the case. In this article I am going to introduce to you one such exemplary female who effectively ruled a kingdom in thirteenth century India and bravely fought a two-sided battle, the threat of territorial conquest from the outside and on account of being a woman, patriarchal oppositions from within her realm. She is Queen Rudrama- devi, the fourth independent ruler of the Kakatiya Dynasty of Andhra. One of the most prominent rulers of the Kakatiya Dynasty, Rudrama-devi ruled the kingdom for a long period, roughly from 1262 to 1295 CE. The sway of the Kakatiya Dynasty (c. 1150 to 1323 CE) was spread over present-day Telangana region, with Orugallu (later Warangal) as its capital. We do not have much information on the early history of the Kakatiyas.

  • Eassy on Telangana
    EASSY ON TELANGANA Telangana, the twelfth largest and twelfth most populous state of India was formed on 2nd June 2014 with Hyderabad as its capital. It falls in the southern part of the country and covers an area of approximately 114,840 square kilometres. Till 1948, major part of Telangana was ruled over by the Nizam of Hyderabad. It was known as the Telugu-speaking region of the princely state of Hyderabad which dissolved into one big state, Andhra Pradesh in the year 1956. The word 'Telangana' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Trilinga or Trilinga Desa" which means 'the country of three lingas'. In the ancient time, Telangana was ruled by several empires namely, the Satavahana dynasty (230 BCE to 220 CE), the Kakatiya Dynasty (1083-1323), the Musunuri Nayaks (1326-1356) the Delhi Sultanate, the Bahmani Sultanate (1347-1512), Qutub Shahi dynasty (1512-1687), Mughal Empire (1687-1724) and Asaf Jahi Dynasty (1724-1948). The Nizam of Hyderabad didn't want to merge with Indian Union but to remain independent during independence but the Government of India captured Hyderabad State on 17th September 1948 after a military operation called Operation Polo. Telangana is situated on the Deccan Plateau and two major rivers Godavri and Krishna flow through it. There is hot and dry climate for major part of the year. It has three National Parks: Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park in Hyderabad district, and Mahavir Harina Vanasthali National Park and Mrugavani National Park in Ranga Reddy district. The official languages of the state are Telugu and Urdu. Telangana has 10 districts, 42 revenue divisions, and 462 mandals.

  • Petrological and Geochemical Studies on Granitoids in Bibinagar- Bhongir Area, Nalgonda District, Telangana, India
    Ch.Ramakrishna1.et al. Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN: 2248-9622, Vol. 6, Issue 4, (Part - 2) April 2016, pp.57-63 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Petrological and Geochemical Studies on Granitoids in Bibinagar- Bhongir Area, Nalgonda District, Telangana, India. Ch. Ramakrishna1, G. Mallesh2, Ch. Ravi3, and M. Narsimha Reddy4 1234Department of Geology, University College of Science, Osmania University, Hyderabad-07 ABSTRACT The Granitoids of the Bibinagar- Bhongir area in the Nalgonda district are purely high potassic calc alkaline and meta aluminous and A-type belongs to Peninsular Gneissic Complex of the Eastern Dharwar Craton. The petrographic study of granitoids indicates that of pure magmatic origin in the form of different magmatic textures viz. perthitic, porphyritic and poiklitic textures. Geochemically the granitoids are rich in K2O & Na2O suggesting source from calc-alkaline magma. The Granitoids are falling mostly in the volcanic arc field on Yb vs Ta discrimination plot. The REE pattern shows strong Eu negative anomaly, suggesting early separation of plagioclase and the enhanced level of LILE relative to HFSE in Bibinagar-Bhongir granitoids points to the subduction zone enrichment and/or crustal contamination of the source region.

INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges 3 4 INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges FOREWORD Travel and tourism, the largest service industry in India was worth US$234bn in 2018 – a 19% year- on-year increase – the third largest foreign exchange earner for India with a 17.9% growth in Foreign Exchange Earnings (in Rupee Terms) in March 2018 over March 2017. According to The World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism generated ₹16.91 lakh crore (US$240 billion) or 9.2% of India’s GDP in 2018 and supported 42.673 million jobs, 8.1% of its total employment. The sector is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 6.9% to ₹32.05 lakh crore (US$460 billion) by 2028 (9.9% of GDP). The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism. I am pleased to present the FICCI Knowledge Report “Indian Tourism Infrastructure : Investment Opportunities & Challenges” which highlights the current scenario, key facts and figures pertaining to the tourism sector in India.

    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.
