Introduction of the project 2.1 Background information i. Identification of project and project proponent. Project: Consultancy Services for preparation of Feasibility Study and Detailed Project Report of Access Controlled Nagpur Mumbai Expressway for Package V i .e. Taranganpada Village, Igatpuri Taluka (Nashik District border 00.00 km) to Amane, Bhiwandi Taluka (Thane District 77.98 km) in the state of Maharashtra approximately 77.98 kms length. Project proponent: Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Ltd. (MSRDC) Brief description of nature of the project: The project intends to develop 6 lane expressway with six lanes (3+3) carriage way of Expressway, and lanes for utility shifting, bypass and other structures in the state of Maharashtra. The proposed alignment passes through approximately 300 villages. The proposed expressway (NMEW) will pass through 10 districts from Vidarbha through Marathwada to Konkan regions. The major settlements which are set to be part of this plan are Nagpur District, Wardha District, Amravati District, Washim District, Buldana District, Jalna District, Aurangabad District, Ahmadnagar District, Nasik District and Thane District. The design speed is proposed such that Vehicles shall be able to reach an average speed of 150 km/hr on it. The proposed Package V Igatpuri – Kalyan will connect two major cities viz. Nashik and Thane in less distance and time as compared to the distance covered by the current Nashik Mumbai Expressway NH-3. The proposed Package V passes through approximately 48 villages. ii. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. In the present scenario, industrial growth remains centralised around Mumbai, Pune and to some extent in Nashik and Aurangabad as these cities remain connected through sea ports in Mumbai. Mumbai-Pune region is saturated in terms of land, population or infrastructure. There is tremendous pressure on this region, as the economic nerve-centre of Maharashtra and the entire country. This may be linked to the proximity of the Mazagon MSRDC 5 PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT OF ACCESS CONTROLLED NAGPUR-MUMBAI EXPRESSWAY 01/20/2016 PACKAGE V - 77.98 KM Dock and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, from where the finished goods are exported and raw material is imported. On the other hand Vidarbha and Marathwada regions are less economically prosperous due to low industrial growth, area development, agricultural fertile land, lack of ample amount of water resources, lack of new technologies as compared to the rest of Maharashtra. These cities will be projected as investment destinations for manufacturing, automobile, defence, aerospace, information technology, textile and food processing. The proposed project

Firstly, to clarify property rights, by ensuring that land records maintained by the State mirror the reality on the ground. A discordance between the two, i.e., records and reality, implies that it is dicult to ascertain and assert rights over land. Secondly, land record modernisation aims to reduce the costs involved for the citizen to access and correct records easily in order to ensure that the records are updated in a timely manner. This report aims to map, on a pilot basis, the progress of the DILRMP, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, in the State of Maharashtra.

  • Spatial Models for Groundwater Behavioral Analysis in Regions of Maharashtra
    Spatial Models for Groundwater Behavioral Analysis in Regions of Maharashtra M.Tech Dissertation Report Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology by Ravi Sagar P Roll No:10305037 Supervisors Prof. Milind Sohoni Prof. Purushottam Kulkarni a Department of Computer Science and Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Bombay June 2012 Abstract In this project we have performed spatial analysis of groundwater data in Thane and Latur districts of Maharashtra. We used seasonal models developed using the water levels measured at observation wells (by Groundwater Survey and Development Agency, Maharashtra), shape files for watershed boundaries and drainage system, land use and forest cover information from census data in our work. We did regional analysis on groundwater and classified the years into good year if water levels are above the seasonal model in that year or bad year if water levels are below the seasonal model. We observe that the good error (error accumulated by observations above the model) or bad error (error accumulated by observations below the model) classification accounts for a substantial fraction of the error. We have understood the structure and classification of watersheds and used it in our global good/bad year analysis. We then investigated the relationship between site specific spatial attributes of observation wells. We grouped observation wells on the basis of watershed boundaries, elevation levels, natural neighborhood, etc. and performed spatial analysis with in groups and across groups. Much to our surprise, no spatial parameter which we analyzed, yielded any significant insight. The development of regional models will need additional attributes such as land-use, local hydrogeology.

    www.gradeup.co Administrative Units of Maharashtra Administrative divisions are an integral part of the state. There is an extended network of smaller administrative units or territories with lesser control for better and effective governance. They work in a coordinated and hierarchical manner. Hence, the administrative division includes dependent territories and accepted administrative divisions. In India, the state of Maharashtra lies in the western and central part of the country. The state has a long coastline (720 km) along the Arabian Sea. • Maharashtra came into existence on 1 May 1960; the day is observed as Maharashtra Day. These districts are grouped into six administrative divisions shown below. • Based on the population, Maharashtra is the second largest state in India and 3rd in terms of geographical extent. • As per Census 2011, 9.3% of the total population resides in Maharashtra, and the state is highly urbanized, with 45.2% people live in urban areas. • Maharashtra has 35 districts, divided into six revenue divisions, i.e., Aurangabad, Amravati, Konkan, Pune, Nashik, and Nagpur, for administrative purposes. • Maharashtra has five central regions based on geographical, political, historical and cultural sentiments. These are: 1. Konkan 2. Desh (Pune Division) 3. Khandesh 4. Marathwada 5. Vidarbha • Note: Maharashtra has a long tradition of having statutory bodies for planning at the district level. • To govern the rural areas for effective local self-governance, there are 33 Zilla Parishads, 351 Panchayat Samitis and 27,906
