Jodhpur, Posting Date : 5-6 Sept, 2019 (Print: 30 August 2019) Vol. 18 No. 8 Annual Rs. 200 2019 Special Issue Geography Geography of Rajasthan w T.S. Chouhan Ne Rajasthan is known the world over for its rich culturage, flora and fauna, beautiful artifacts and handicrafts, splendour architecture, colourful dresses and hospitality. After emerging from its feudal past, it carved out a niche for itself in the development map of the country. Past few years have witnessed impressive growth of agriculture, particularly in mustard, soyabean, cotton, beet and spices. Rajasthani stone has given lustre to world famous buildings like Taj Mahal, Red Fort, Rastrapati Bhawan and Parliament House. It has made impressive gains in the field of mineral and industrial development. The present book provides a lucid account of all the natural resources and various development programmes currently under execution in the State. The book will would be of great value to planners and research scientists and would help in sustainable development through proper understanding of the State's resource endowment. Exploitation of natural resources has been quite handicapped through ages due to lack of adequate information and knowledge of resources, their potential limitations and susceptibilities. Fast expanding human population and their ever growing demand of food, clothing and shelter has brought about great stress on resources which are mostly finite. Agricultural land has been over-used, ground water over-tapped, forests denuded and minerals over-exploited. Such indiscriminate resource use resulted not only in depletion of already scarce resources but also in deterioration of environmental quality. A stage has now reached when these disparties can no longer be ignored. It has now become essential to have scientific assessment of natural resources, their distribution and potential availability for further utilization and development. The present book provides data on qualitative and quantitative information on various resources of the State. CONTENTS 1. Introduction Sabi river basin • Sabarmati river basin • Ruparail river 2.

Introduction to Geoinformatics T.S. Chouhan AVAIBLE IN NOVEMBER 2019 Geoinformatics is a new discipline integrating element for various disciplines dealing with geographic data. It deals with management, analysis and presentation of geographic and other spatially defined data. It includes Surveying, Remote Sensing (RS), Geographical Information System (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), Photogrammetry, Cartography, Geography, Computer Science and Statistics. It has emerged as a credible tool in mapping, modeling, monitoring and managing natural resources, environment and natural disasters, which are vital components in sustainable development planning.
Geoinformatics is a powerful tool to create maps, integrate information, visualise scenarios, solove complicated problems, present ideas and develop effective solution.Geoinformatics is the integration of different disciplines dealing with spatial information. The advent of Satellite Remote Sensing (SRE) and subsequent development of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) have made significant changes in surveying and map making. In light of this, both in the academia and the industry, these topics have been brought together under one umbrella termGeoinformatics. This book will be invaluable for students pursuing various courses on Geoinformatics, environment studies, Agricltural sciences, geology, and geography and will prove useful and handy for professionals pursuing GPS and GIS. The entire book has been divided into 21 chapters. 2020 | Library Edition | ISBN: 9789388449939 | 350 Pages 2020 | Student Edition | ISBN: 9789388449946 | 350 Pages Scientific News Letter · August, 2019/4 Rajasthan • Geography Books Geology of Rajasthan (Northwest India) Precambrian to Recent A.B.
