The essential goals of planning were creation of infrastructure, improvement of standard of living of the people below the poverty line and attainment of self-reliance. Creation of employment opportunities was also main focus. The State continues to have the problems of imbalance in regional development, inadequate infrastructure for fast urbanization and recurring spells of scarcity, particularly of drinking water. The Annual Plans were therefore formulated on this background. A brief overview of Economic Development of Maharashtra is given in the subsequent paragraphs. Population 2.2 The population of Maharashtra as per Census 2011 was 11.24 crore. The population growth in the State during the decade 2001-2011 was 16.0%. Maharashtra is the second largest State in India in respect of population. The density of population (person per sq. km.) in 2011 was 365 for the State as against 382 for the country. The average annual compound growth rate of Maharashtra during 2001- 2011 is 1.5% which is slightly less than the corresponding growth (2.1%) during the earlier decade. Urbanisation and Migration 2.3 As per 2011 Population Census, the percentage of urban population to total population in Maharashtra was 45.2 as against 31.2 for the country. State Income 2.4 The per capita income of Maharashtra in 2011-12 at current price was Rs.95,339/-, while it was Rs.61,564/- for the country as a whole. The higher per capita income of the State appears to be essentially due to the relatively better developed tertiary sector in the State Economy. Agriculture 2.5 During the year 2013-14, the food grains production was at the level of 154.60 lakh tonnes tentatively. Industries 2.6 Maharashtra continued to occupy the foremost position in the country in respect of its share in factory employment. The industrial activity in the State is mainly concentrated in Mumbai, Thane and Pune districts. Total number of factories in the year 2011 was 35,876 and average daily factory employment was 18.14 lakh in the State. The share of these districts in factory employment has decreased from 58% in 1995 to 54% in 2000. In 2005 and 2010, the percentage of factory employment was increased upto 57%. In 2011, the share of these districts in factory employment was increased upto 60%. 4 Sugar Production 2.7 In 2012-13 out of 156 sugar factories, 108 were in production in the co- operative sector of the State. These factories crushed 504.62 lakh tonnes of sugarcane in 2012-13. Electricity 2.8 The installed capacity of electricity generation including renewable in Maharashtra as on 31st March, 2012 was 20,702 MW. The Central Sector Allocation in the installed capacity of National Thermal Power Corporation and the Nuclear Power Corporation was 5,792 MW. The total generation of electricity in 2011-12 was increased by 8.5% over the previous year to 89,996 million KWH. During 2012-13 upto December, 2012, the generation of electricity was 67,551 million KWH which was higher by 0.6% in the corresponding period of 2010-11. The total consumption of electricity in 2011-12 was 96,644 million KWH, which was higher by 10.6% than the consumption of 87,397 million KWH during 2010-11.

Director General Tele : 91-11-23731956 Fax : 91-11-23731746 E-mail : [email protected] FOREWORD The national response to HIV/AIDS in India over the last decade has yielded encouraging outcomes in terms of prevention and control of HIV. However, in recent years, while declining HIV trends are evident at the national level as well as in most of the States, some low prevalence and vulnerable States have shown rising trends, warranting focused prevention efforts in specific areas. The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies.

We divide the period into two distinct periods: 1991-2000 and 2001-2010. The trends in the production of cereal crops, pulses and cash crops were observed using mean comparison t test and dummy variable regression model. The statistical and simple econometric exercises support the noticeable change occurred in the cropping pattern in the Yavatmal district during the period of economic reforms. The production of wheat was increased marginally during the period, but production of jowar crops drastically declined. The crops such as soybean and sunflower took overjowar during the study period. The trend showing decrease in overall production of cereals is a cause of concern for the government in particular and public in general. If the trend continues, it would be worrisome in terms of production of traditional crops. Keywords: Cropping pattern, trends, Maharashtra, economic reforms Maharashtra has more heterogeneity in crop consists of 16 Talukas. It is a major cotton producing production and cropping pattern arising from its district of Maharashtra. The district boundary varied agro-climatic conditions.

Thakare (Kawathekar)2, 1Director, Online computer academy, Nagpur, M.S., India, 2Research Scholarand Associate Prof., Dept. of Architecture, K.I.T.S., Ramtek, Dist. Nagpur, M.S.,India. Abstract: Agriculture is a largest economic sector and plays a very significant role in the socio economic development of our country, which is now in crises. The farmers of various states particularly in Maharashtra are in distress due to multiple factors ending in suicide in large scale. Farmer’s suicides in growing numbers throughout the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Punjab is the most crucial problem and calls for the topmost priority in the agenda of rulers & policy makers. The suicidal trend set in 1991 by the farmers of Andhra Pradesh has spread to Maharashtra in 2000-01 and has been continued even today. Vidarbha is observed as the suicide prone/ danger zone of the state. In Vidarbha region more numbers of farmers have committed suicide to overcome the miseries due to various reasons viz. nonproduction of crops, bad debts, drought, lack of markets, marketing and irrigation facilities exploitation by private money lenders and other social and family causes arising out of the combination of various factors, but no one particular reason could be attributed to this saddest event of the mankind in the Indian history. The Rural Development agencies are coming in picture for the post suicidal help within their limits.

  • 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.
