(M.P.), India *Corresponding author: [email protected] (ORCID ID: 0000-0002-4005-6952) Paper No. 877 Received: 12-01-2021 Revised: 28-02-2021 Accepted: 03-03-2021 ABSTRACT The oranges created in Amravati district possessed the biggest share of oranges within the Vidarbha orange market. The orange crop plays a vital role within the economy of the region. Among the fruit crops, orange crop covers about 45,226 ha area in Vidarbha.

The various types of constraints confronted by the orange grower related to production of orange are rootstock availability, labour availability, manures and fertilizers, irrigation, plant protection, capital, availability of loan from co-operative society, technical information, use of growth regulator, supporting and constraints confronted by the orange grower related to marketing of orange are Grading, Transportation, Sale of produce, Packaging, Storage. The study was conducted in the purposively selected Amravati district of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state.

  • TCP Core Plan of Melghat Tiger Resurve
    PREFACE Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR), the part of Satpuda Maikal ranges falls in Amarvati, Akola and Buldhana districts of Vidharbha in Maharashtra. It is one of the 9 Project Tiger declared initially in 1973 by Government of India and came into existence on 22nd Feb, 1974 as the first tiger reserve of Maharashtra. MTR is the store house of biodiversity and tribal culture. MTR is a typical representative of Central Indian Highland forming a part of the Bio- geographic zone ‘6 E-Deccan Peninsula’– Central Highlands. The reserve forms an important corridor between protected and forests areas of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra ensuring contiguity of forests in Satpuras. Melghat Tiger Reserve is predominately inhabited by Korku tribes. The Korkus, Nihals and Gaolis have their own tradition of indigenous ethno botanical knowledge. The gotras of Korkus are seen to have been named after trees e.g. Jamunkar, Semalkar etc. which goes to prove the integration of their culture with nature. The reserve forms a very important catchment to Tapi and Purna river systems with important tributaries like Dolar, Khandu, Sipna, Gadga, Khapra and Wan river. The river Chandrabhaga which originates from Chikhaldara has its watershed in the reserve. The Gavilgarh fort and Vairat points in the Vicinity of Chikhaldara hill station have important historical significance. Crevices in valleys and forts offer good hiding spaces for wildlife. It harbours a viable population of Tiger (Panthera tigris) and of the endangered Gaur (Bos gaurus). All India Tiger Census, 2010 estimated the presence of about 32-35 tigers in the reserve and it has the potential of supporting 50 tigers based on today’s prey base available as estimated by the method of Hayward et.al.

Due to their far sighted policies, the English were able to expand and consolidate their rule in Maharashtra. 2 The Company’s government had trapped most of the Maratha rulers in Subsidiary Alliances and fought three important wars with Marathas over a period of 43 years (1775 -1818). 1.2 POLITICAL CONDITIONS BEFORE THE BRITISH CONQUEST : The Company’s Directors sent Lord Wellesley as the Governor- General of the Company’s territories in India, in 1798.
