Succession was by adoption. Its foundation is traced to a religious celibate, who came from the Punjab towards the end of the 18th century. From the founder it passed through a succession of chosen disciples until 1879, when the British government recognized the ruler as an hereditary chief and it came to be known as princely state of Raj Nandgaon. Afterwards conferred upon his son the title of Raja Bahadur. The first ruler Ghasi Das Mahant, was recognized as a feudal chief by the British government in 1865 and was granted a sanad of adoption.

S. Rana *QC Lab, Defence (R&D) Organisation, Jagdalpur *Dept of Chemistry, ITER, Siksha “O” Anusandhan University, Bhubaneswar _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The paper presents studies regarding the pollution of the groundwater in Jagadalpur. The water quality parameters viz pH, electrical conductivity(EC),Turbidity, Total dissolved salt (TDS), Sodium(Na), potassium(K), calcium(Ca), -2 - chloride(Cl), sulphate(SO4 ), Carbonate(CO3), Bicarbonate (HCO 3),fluoride (F ),Total hardness(TH),dissolved oxygen(DO), iron(Fe) were analysed. The result shows that the ground water from some sampling sites is within permissible limit according WHO. Keywords : Ground water, Quality of water, Jagdalpur, WHO _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Water is vital for the existence for all life forms and is essential for all activities of human beings (Dhar et al,1986).The effect of water pollution on human health is of serious nature (Rawat and Arora,1986).Drinking water plays an important role in the bodily intake of true element by human. Even though some trace elements are essential to man, at elevated levels essential as well as non essential element can cause morphological abnormalities reduce growth increase mortality and mutagenic effects [2-4] Ground water is about 20% of the world resources of fresh water and used in large amount for industry, irrigation and domestic activity.

    Residential Schools for Children in LWE-Affected Areas of Chhattisgarh

    EDUCATION 2.3 Pota Cabins: Residential schools for children in LWE-affected areas of Chhattisgarh Pota Cabins is an innovative educational initiative for building schools with impermanent materials like bamboo and plywood in Chhattisgarh. The initiative has helped reduce the number of out-of-school children and improve enrolment and retention of children since its introduction in 2011. The number of out-of-school children in the 6-14 years age group reduced from 21,816 to 5,780 as the number of Pota Cabins rose from 17 to 43 within a year of the initiative. These residential schools help ensure continuity of education from primary to middle-class levels in Left Wing Extremism affected villages of Dantewada district, by providing children and their families a safe zone where they can continue their education in an environment free of fear and instability. Rationale Secondly, it would also draw children away from the remote and interior areas of villages that are more prone to Left Wing Extremists violence. As these schools are perceived The status of education in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh as places where children can receive adequate food and was abysmal. As per a 2005 report, the literacy rate of the education, they are often referred to Potacabins locally, as state stood at 30.2% against the state average of 64.7%.1 ‘pota’ means ‘stomach’ in the local Gondi language. The development deficit in the Dakshin Bastar area, which includes Dantewada district, has been largely attributed to the remoteness of villages, lack of proper infrastructure Objectives such as roads and bridges, and weak penetration of communication technology.

    Plundered Histories, Forgotten Terrains & Entangled People

    Plundered Histories, Forgotten Terrains & Entangled People ** (A critical search on Planning and Commission on Mining) Goldy M. George I. Conflict in Interest: Planning, Commissioning and Development In the early 1950s India embarked on a program of planned industrial development. Borrowing planning concepts from the Soviet Union, the government tried to stimulate 1 development through massive investment in the public sector, imposing a system of tight controls on foreign ownership of capital in India and playing a highly interventionist role in all aspects of economic policy. The private sector was allowed to continue to operate in agriculture and in a wide range of ‘non-essential’ industrial sectors.1 The steady economic growth of industries with active support from the state machinery is directly proportional to the unchecked exploitation of masses. Several instances of eviction, evacuation etc. had put before a long array of questions on the very edifice of mining and development. Marginalised communities such as Dalits, Adivasis, women, working class, etc. are the first victims of this. Though during the independence struggle “factory to the workers” prominently came on to the national agenda, nowhere in India it was implemented in the post independence era. Resultant displacement, migration, repercussion of workers, loss of land and livelihood, pilfering state revenue, forest resources, etc. has outgrown to monstrous magnitude. Decolonisation of erstwhile colonies invariably saw the elite take control of political power. Naturally they were inclined to capitalism preferring to inherit the colonial state – its laws, structure and character – rather than to transform it fundamentally in ways to respond to the most urgent needs of the oppressed sections.

    Sustainable Agriculture – A New Partnership Paradigm in Dantewada Harsh Jaiswal, TERI University 1. Heralding Green Revolution in Independent India Upon breaking the shackles of colonisation in 1947, India was plagued with starvation and famine in several parts of the country. As a young independent nation, agricultural production wasn’t sufficient for the growing population. Several causes have been attributed to this glaring gap between supply and demand. Lack of modernisation in the agriculture sector and the prevalence of primitive methods of farming were attributed as the major cause. In the early 1960s, the Green Revolution (henceforth, GR) was pedestaled as the saviour of India’s farmers and food deficient people. This involved the use of chemical fertilizers, irrigation infrastructure, and high yielding variety (HYVs). GR promised to tackle chronic food deficit by increasing yield and making the country self-sufficient in food grain production. These developments were supported with institutional interventions like Minimum Support Price (MSP) protocol, subsidies on chemical fertilizers, improvement in rural infrastructure, and so on. 1.1 Contestations on Green Revolution However, the critical appraisal on GR highlights some of the major problems in the technical interventions with serious environmental and economic consequences. “However the assumption of nature as a source of scarcity, and technology as a source of abundance, leads to the creation of technologies which create new scarcities in nature through ecological destruction. The reduction in the availability of fertile land and genetic diversity of crops as a result of the Green Revolution practices indicates that at the ecological level , the Green Revolution produced scarcity, not abundance” (Shiva, 1991) Evidence suggests that the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh are currently reaping the repercussions of GR.
