This dam is located in Akole tehsil of Ahmednagar district. Ahmednagar district and Sinnar tahsil in Nashik district have always been faced famine to strike consecutively after each two year intervals due to irregularity of rainfall. The British Government has noted and had commenced dam work in Mhaladevi village in 1899. Maharashtra state also decided in 1970 to erect the dam at same place. Meanwhile, there is vast horticulture developed on both the sides of river, hence villagers of Mhaladevi and another 12 have obstructed the dam project because they fear that their fertile land may descend drop down under dam water. Therefore, the government has passed dam project in Nilwande village (Nilwande-1) which is situated at upside of Mhaladevi. Proposed project cost was approximated to Rs.l03 Crore. The project refers that, the proposal of 187km. canals over to 64,260ha area had planned under irrigation and 99km. canal work has also been completed under Jawahar Rojgar Hami Yojana but villagers of Nilwande acted against the project and put their demand "Rehabilitation first and then dam." Because, villagers who were affected (stricken) by the project of Nilwande-1 by which they have not been rehabilitated. Therefore no dam work could commence. In 1978 to 1990 major lost of fertile land of village Chitalvedhe and Nilwande came under yearly bail out irrigation. Therefore, both villagers put their demand to move dam site upstream to 600m. to save both villages from fiiture calamities. Therefore, government sanctioned the proposal and dam moved 600m. upstream from Nilwande gaothan (Nilwande-2) 93 4.2 Historical Prospective Deliberation for Mhaladevi dam began in 1970. State Government declared that said dam will be completed within 5 years. In 1978, dam site was made fix at Nilwande village namely Upper Pravara dam instead of Mhaladevi. Public movement started again to save prospective sink land, hence the dam place moved to 600m. upstream and renamed as Uppar Pravara (Nilvande-2) which has been granted on 1992 is now called as "Nilwande Dam". Proposed and sanctioned Nilvande dam can carry 8.32 TMC water and physical consumption are expected 11.00 Billion cu.ft. This water will provide to Akole, Sangamner, Rahata, Kopargaon, Rahuri, Shrirampur and east side of Sinnar tehsil i.e. total 65260ha. land will come under irrigation for 8 months. The depth of Pravara river is 589m. at dam and its height is up to 652m. There is an outlet at 598m. height to bail out water of Bhandardara. Water for Sangamner has to bail out from 601m. depth and other one way at 610m. in Nilwande dam. The dam will reach full level at 648m. After all water bailing through canal only 0.258 cu.m. this water will remain as dead stock. The proposal further contented that the construction of main stone weirs of the dam started in 1995. Watering benefit will start step by step since June 2005 and then the final irrigation capacity will be determined since June 2015. Financial stages of the project are - The budget cost of dam was 103 Crore in 1978 than it extended as per timeline of 1999-2000 rates i.e. 760.21 Crore. This amount divided amongst dam, canal and distribution units, i.e. dam -321 Crore, canal and distribution unit -396 Crore as expected in the plan. But the present rate shows that Rs. 1008 Crore will be spent only for canals only and farmers would have to wait for 7 to 8 years for watering benefits. Further says that the dam work is totally completed. Left and right canal are also made step by step up to 60% said canal work was started since 2015. Only wall work was under construction in Akole tahsil and the question of rehabilitation of sunken land affected people of Digambar and Kamatwadi villages were the must. Project affected farmers started movement and asked for "Rehabilition 94 First then Dam". Hon. Shri. Madhukarraoji Pichad leads to rehabilition all stricken and rehabilitate them which called as "Model Rehabilitation" alongwith excess compensation got from government and distribute to stricken, so that we salute and congratulate Mr. Pichad Sir. Activities of proposed canal work on Nilwande dam started in 2002, at that time, canals at 6I0m. depth goes through irrigated area. Beneficial area shown under Nilwande canals was already made as horticulture by Bhandardara dam and hence, no use of Nilwande canal water for this area. The needy area which is deprive from irrigation that is the foothills situated in Akole tahsil, and by considering these facts Hon. Madhukarrao Pichad and some farmers of Akole had sent a letter to state government and put demand to raise Nilwande canals up to hills to irrigate the bottom area. Said letter has admitted and forwarded by the Water Resources Department for further action. Then, Godavari Marathwada Patbandhare Vikas Mahamandal has sanctioned "Upper Pravara Canals (Nilvande-2) proposal on 10/2/2004 by passing resolution no. 19/1 respectively. Thereafter, the regulatory committee agreed to prepare 4"^ revised budget and survey thereof However, high level canals are finally granted to erect officially, it was an appreciated step of development, the concept of 8 month irrigation was next step taken later in 1970 in the maimer of development and propagation of irrigation from dam water and to establish social law, instead of 12 months concept. Whereas Nilwande dam is fix for 8 month watering, so that the irrigated area is considered more than Bhandardara because Nilwande water is secured for autumn and winter seasons. But what action had been taken by concern authorities during 2004 to 2008 for resolution? It was a study that what will happen if 610m. depth canals get cancelled and replace it with higher level canals. The board has ordered to survey the same and obviously it was expected the deep study must be required. It was necessary to deep physical survey, study and maintain record of minor to minor point in that respect, of the fi-om that some reasons are given below. 1) High deep canals - How much and where? 2) Non-technical, 3) Non-realistic, 95 4) Govt, unable to return the land acquired from farmers and 5) No objection to comparative study because main canal is drawn at various depths. But such rough study made people confused. A comment of 630m. and 620m. depth instead with 610m. is available which must be studied. The comment referred that, there may 1572ha. excess area of Akole may come under wetness if 630m. short- canals will construct above right and left canal except original canal. Maharashtra Water Council recommends dual canal concept for maximum area under irrigation from dam water in the manner to vast and fast development. Hon. Chitale Commission also has to recommend this concept for which we applied the commission and discussed with. It was most necessary in the manner to the vast interest in respect to the question of land acquisition which is interrelated with the main policy. Therefore the decision to from high level canal is appreciated. Water Resource Depatment issued orders to commence the work of 610m. right and left canals in 2008 which were originally proposed. But the demand, which puts in 2002, rose again. It was "Status Quo" during 4 years, which misguided people that, "canals will move on high level instead with previously proposed place. If people came to know the information, government policy, dam plan, then there will be no chance to issue misguidance (Irrigation Dept. Sangamner). Canal works started in April 2010 after two year interval, but contractor has stopped the construction due to public prevention. There has been a militancy being since last four months in Akole. According to canal work and it caused to divide the two parties in Akole. Ruling party supports to canal work, but water rights committee opposed to the ruling party and constant that never let canals can be done by any mean. The committee adapted ways of various movements against the canal work. The committee also visits the multi-villages and propagate importance of high level canals, rehabilitation, compensation of land, etc. caused a shaking situated in concern villages and people too supports the same. Hon. Pichad sir leads to complete terminated canal work, not even he worshipped the land at village Kalas (kh) and Kalas (Bk) to commence canal work and while he said that, "If we do not make canals then own water of Akole tahsil will turned to Marathwada" but it is impossible, no other five tahsil people let water turn 96 to Marathwada even if canals not made in Akole.

Deshmukh Department of Economics, Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar, Pune, India - [email protected] Commission V, WG V/7 & Commission IV, WG IV/6 KEY WORDS: Environment, Geographical Information System, Population, Socio-Economic, Spatio-Temporal, Tribal ABSTRACT: The tribal population represents a heterogeneous group scattered in different regions of India. The differences are noticed in language, cultural practices, socio-economic status and pattern of livelihood. The tribal population in India rapidly increased from 30.1 million in 1961 to 104.3 million in 2011. For same period tribal residing in rural area have increased by three times from 29.4 million to 93.8 million respectively. The tribal population resides in urban area is very less in number due to these people like to live in the remote areas of the proximity of natural environment. In Maharashtra, more than 47 indigenous tribes were dwelling at Sahyadri and Satpuda mountainous ranges. According to 2011 census, there are about 1, 05, 10,213 tribal populations living in Maharashtra, which constitutes 10.05% population of state. In Maharashtra, there is regional disparity in tribal population such as Nandurbar District has the highest tribal concentration while Dhule, Gadchiroli, Nasik, and Ahmednagar District have moderate tribal concentration. Therefore, present research work is an attempt to understand the Spatio-temporal variation in tribal population of Ahmednagar district using GIS technique during the period of 2001-2011.

Land use/land cover is a significant part in understanding the connections of the human being doings with the situation and thus it is necessary to be able to simulate changes. Land is used for the motivations such as crops, forests, mining, transport, housing, entertaining, manufacturing and cost-effective. The unused lands are unproductive waste and i.e. barren and fallow land. To record the land use/land cover information from surveying and data collection is not always possible in view of time and cost involved in data collection. In view of this the objective of present paper is to mapping the general land use/land cover pattern of Akole Tahsil.

  • A Geographical Analysis of Groundwater Level in Ahmednagar District (M.S.)
    A Geographical Analysis of Groundwater Level in Ahmednagar District (M.S.) Dr. Shailesh M. Nikam Dept. of Geography Pemraj Sarda College, Ahmednagar. [email protected] Introduction Groundwater plays a vital role in the development of agriculture and other development in India. The uncertainty of monsoon climatic condition is the main problem in India. Maharashtra is one of the most favorable states in India in respect of rainfall. But it May soon become a state in the large part of Maharashtra face perennial water shortage. Ahmednagar district is known as drought prone district in Maharashtra.
