  • Projected Population of Karnataka 2012-2021
    DES No. 22 of 2013 PROJECTED POPULATION OF KARNATAKA 2012-2021 (PROVISIONAL) Issued by: Directorate of Economics and Statistics Bangalore 2013 PREFACE The population census provides information on population and its other characteristics. The census being a decennial exercise does not provide the measure of population change from year to year. The measures of fertility and mortality derived from the census are centered on the mid-point of the decade and as such do not provide any change. Population is one of the most important items for which projections are often made. Though projections may not turn to be precise, they are indicative of the future trends and are useful to the demographers, administrators, planners and to the public at large in different ways. Projections of future populations are also required for preparation of five year plans. Academically also these forecasts are of invaluable utility. With this backdrop an attempt has been made to project the Provisional Population in Karnataka by districts and taluks for rural and urban units separately upto the year 2021. In this attempt only towns with a population of one lakh and above have been covered. These projections are based on the Geometric growth rates between 2001 and 2011 censuses. This exercise was carried out by Civil Registration & National Sample Survey Division of this Directorate. The efforts of Staff/Officers in bringing out this report is very much appreciated. Suggestions, if any for the improvement are most welcome. Date: 18.02.2013 H.E.Rajashekarappa Bangalore Director CONTENTS 1. Population projections for Karnataka 2012-2021- an introductory note.

    The Crafts and Textiles of Hyderabad and Telangana 11 Days/10 Nights Activities Overnight Day 1 Fly U.S. to Hyderabad. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Hyderabad your hotel by private car. Day 2 The city of Hyderabad was constructed in 1591 by King Hyderabad Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which ruled this region of the Deccan plateau from 1507 to 1687. During this time, the Sultanate faced numerous incursions by the Mughals and the Hindu Marathas. In 1724, the Mughal governor of the Deccan arrived to govern the city. His official title was the Nizam- ul-Muluk, or Administrator of the Realm. After the death of Emperor Aurangzeb, he declared his independence and established the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Nizams. The Nizams of Hyderabad were known for their tremendous wealth, which came from precious gems mined in nearby Golconda (see Day 3), the area's natural resources, a vibrant pearl trade, agricultural taxes and friendly cooperation with the British. Much of the architecture still existing in Hyderabad thus dates from the reigns of the Qutb Shahi Sultans or the Nizams. European influences were introduced by the British in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the center of old Hyderabad sits the Charminar, or "four towers," which dates to 1591 and is surrounded by a lively bazaar and numerous mosques and palaces. This morning we will enjoy a leisurely walk through the area. We will stop to admire the colorful tile mosaics found inside the Badshahi Ashurkhana. This Royal House of Mourning was built in 1595 as a congregation hall for Shia Muslims during Muharram.

  • Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India
    ® Fruit, Vegetable and Cereal Science and Biotechnology ©2010 Global Science Books Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India Ram Chandra* • Deodas Tarachand Meshram National Research Centre on Pomegranate, NH-9 By-pass Road, Shelgi, Solapur 413 006, Maharashtra, India Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in India, making up the majority of the southern part of the country, ranging in elevation from 100 m in the north to 1000 m in the south. The main pomegranate producing areas are distributed between 300 and 950 m above mean sea level in hot arid and semi-arid regions having tropical and subtropical climate. Interestingly, the major production of pomegranate in India is from Deccan Plateau, especially from Maharashtra followed by Karnataka. The agro-climatic condition of Deccan Plateau is congenial for staggering of pomegranate production throughout the year. Maharashtra contributes about 84% in area and 75% in production of pomegranate in Deccan Plateau. Mainly three flowering seasons viz. winter (January-February flowering), rainy season (June-July flowering) and autumn season (September-October flowering) are promoted for fruit production in this plateau. In the present paper, information pertaining to Deccan Plateau and its climatic and soil conditions and existing cultivation practices of pomegranate has been envisaged. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: climatic conditions of Deccan
