    ANNUAL REPORT INTEGRAL ACADEMICS RESEARCH EDUCATION The Underlying Philosophy The Sai educational institutions have been established not merely to enable students to earn a living but to make them acquire good traits, lead ideal lives, and give them ethical, moral and spiritual strength. I have established them with a view to inculcate love and teach good qualities to students. They will learn here humility, discipline and faith. I have established these institutions to impart spiritual education as a main component and worldly education as a secondary one. Education should enable one to cultivate good qualities, character and devotion. The teaching of the university curricula is only the means employed for the end, namely, spiritual uplift, self-discovery and social service through love and detachment. This will be a gurukula - a place where teachers and taught will grow together in love and wisdom - and like the ancient system of education, it will develop in its students a broad outlook and promote virtues and morals, which serve to foster noble ideals in society. This institute will be a temple of learning where youth are shaped into self-reliant, contented and enterprising heroes of action and self-sacrifice, for the purpose of serving humanity.

Thus, Telangana links the north and south of India. Hyderabad, the state capital, is a classic example of Telangana heritage, exemplified by a number of archeological monuments such as the Charminar, the Golkonda Fort, Mecca Masjid, the Sri Chennakesava Swamy Temple, UjjainiMahankaali Temple and Hussain Sagar, to quote a few. Other important heritage sites in Telangana, apart from Hyderabad, are Adilabad, Karimnager, Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Medak, Nalgonda, Nizamabad and Warangal. Each of these has several heritage monuments that emerged during the state's long history.Culture in Telangana is a combination of customs adopted from Persian traditions during the rule of Moghuls and Nizams and more dominantly South Indian customs. Thus ,it has a very rich culture with Telugu culture amalgamated within the fabric of the society. Telangana is potential lies in its culture that blends cultural customs from Persian traditions embedded during Moghuls, QutubShahis and Nizams rule with influential and mainly South Indian customs and traditions. The State has a rich tradition in classical music. It has a rich painting and folk arts such as Burrakatha, shadow puppet show, and Perini Shiva Tandavam, Gusadi Dance, Kolatam, Bonalu, Kite Festival, etc. This paper examine the an overview of art and culture in Telangana State.

    CENSUS OF INDIA 1961 MONOGRAPH SERIES Volume XIX Part V-B SCHEDULED CASTES IN DELHI s. R. GANDOTRA. OJ the Indian Administrative ·Service Director oj Oensus Operf!;tions, JJelh~ \ \ Statements made, views expressed or conclusions drawn in this report are wholly the responsibility of the author alone in his personal capacity and do not necessarily represent the views of the Government. FOREWORD The Indian Census has had the privilege of presenting authentic ethnographic accounts of Indian Communities. It was usual in all censuses to collect and publish information on race, tribes and castes. The Constitution lays down that "the State shall promote with sp;cial care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sec­ tions of the people and, in particular, of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation". To assist states in fulfilling their responsibilities in this regard the 1961 Census provided a series of special tabulations of the social and economic data on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are notified by the President under the constitution and the Parliament is empowered to include or exclude from the lists any caste or tribe. No other source can claim the same authenticity and comprehensiveness as the Census of India to help the Government i:a taking decisions on matters such as these. Therefore, besides the statistical data provided by the 1961 Census, the preparation of detailed ethnographic notes on a selection of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in each State and Union 'Territory was taken up as an ancillary study.
