  • Assessing Vulnerability and Adaptation of Agriculture to Climate Change in Andhra Pradesh
    Ind. Jn. of Agri. Econ. Vol.72, No.3, July-Sept. 2017 Assessing Vulnerability and Adaptation of Agriculture to Climate Change in Andhra Pradesh C.A. Rama Rao, B.M.K. Raju, A.V.M. Subba Rao, K.V. Rao, Josily Samuel, Kausalya Ramachandran, K. Nagasree, R. Nagarjuna Kumar and K. Ravi Shankar* ABSTRACT Climate change is characterised by increasing temperatures (especially night temperature), changes in rainfall pattern, increasing frequency of incidence of extreme weather events such as drought, flood, heat wave, cold wave. Understanding what is likely to happen in future helps in planning appropriately and assessment of vulnerability to climate change helps identify the regions that are relatively more vulnerable. It helps to identify, prioritise and target investments and interventions in terms of research, extension, development and policy measures. The present paper makes an assessment of the relative degree of vulnerability for thirteen districts of Andhra Pradesh. Sensitivity and adaptive capacity indices are computed using the data on a range of agro-climatic and socio-economic indicators whereas the exposure index was computed using the climate projections made using the PRECIS for the scenario A1B for the period 2021-50. All the four districts of Rayalaseema were found to be more vulnerable to climate change. Better water management and development of crop varieties that match the changing climate are two important parts of any strategy for resilience. An adaptation intervention in the form of change of crop variety performed better in terms of higher yield and net returns in West Godavari district. Income resilience was found to be better when the livelihoods are more diversified.

  • With Special Reference to Indian Tribal Society]
    © 2018 IJRAR July 2018, Volume 5, Issue 3 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) BELIEF OF TRIBAL’S IN SUPERNATURAL POWER AND ITS RELATION WITH RELIGIOUS LIFE [WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO INDIAN TRIBAL SOCIETY] PROF. [Dr.] SUBHASISH CHATTERJEE, Principal-HOD Mr. RAHUL SHARMA, ASST.PROFESSOR Department of Management, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth [Deemed to be University] ABSTRACT Around seven percent of Indian population follows separate culture from rest of the populations of India. Those populations have been recognized as tribals. They believe in their self identity and altruistic attitude but it is restricted within their own sphere. Here researcher has tried to discuss about the relation of their religion with their daily life and their belief in supernatural power. This is simply an elementary study with a purpose to persist a broad research in future. Key words: Religion, Supernatural Power, Tribal, Rituals, Mana, Bonga, Animism, Animatisms, Immortality of soul, Faith in Rebirth, Magic & its faith and Totem and Taboo INTRODUCTION To stop the deviance of the social norms there is a requirement of supreme influences either through the government or any other resources. But in the tribal society they believe in supernatural power which has been influencing them since long. Since ages they have a fanatic belief on supernatural power within the tribal religion not only across India but also across the world. There are three indispensable elements i. Existence of superhuman and relationship with superhuman refers to the value system ii. Practices various rites and rituals lead to maintain relationship, to build up action system and to control the society.

  • PROFILE of ANANTAPUR DISTRICT the Effective Functioning of Any Institution Largely Depends on The
    PROFILE OF ANANTAPUR DISTRICT The effective functioning of any institution largely depends on the socio-economic environment in which it is functioning. It is especially true in case of institutions which are functioning for the development of rural areas. Hence, an attempt is made here to present a socio­ economic profile of Anantapur district, which happens to be one of the areas of operation of DRDA under study. Profile of Anantapur District Anantapur offers some vivid glimpses of the pre-historic past. It is generally held that the place got its name from 'Anantasagaram', a big tank, which means ‘Endless Ocean’. The villages of Anantasagaram and Bukkarayasamudram were constructed by Chilkkavodeya, the Minister of Bukka-I, a Vijayanagar ruler. Some authorities assert that Anantasagaram was named after Bukka's queen, while some contend that it must have been known after Anantarasa Chikkavodeya himself, as Bukka had no queen by that name. Anantapur is familiarly known as ‘Hande Anantapuram’. 'Hande' means chief of the Vijayanagar period. Anantapur and a few other places were gifted by the Vijayanagar rulers to Hanumappa Naidu of the Hande family. The place subsequently came under the Qutub Shahis, Mughals, and the Nawabs of Kadapa, although the Hande chiefs continued to rule as their subordinates. It was occupied by the Palegar of Bellary during the time of Ramappa but was eventually won back by 136 his son, Siddappa. Morari Rao Ghorpade attacked Anantapur in 1757. Though the army resisted for some time, Siddappa ultimately bought off the enemy for Rs.50, 000. Anantapur then came into the possession of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.

Tribal population of India is spread all over the country. However, in Haryana, Punjab,Chandigarh, DeUli,Goa and Pondicherry there exist very little tribal population.The rest of the states and union territories possess fairly good number of tribal population. You wiU find that forest and hilly areas possess greater concentration of tribal population; while in the plains their number isquite less. Madhya Pradesh registers the largest number oftribes (73) followed by Anrnachal Pradesh (62), Orissa (56), Maharashtra (52), Andhra Pradesh (43), etc. The vast variety and numbers of Indian tribes and tribal groups have\always been a matter of great social and literary discourse for the past several decades.

They remain disadvantaged mostly as they are considered as the lowest section of the Indian society since the ancient times.

All these challenges schemes. This paper tries to analyse the socio-economic status of the tribal communities, the government schemes put forth by the can make their living a difficult task.

Raja Reddi and Urmila Pingle in memory of our journeys in tribal country Preface ― xi ― This book tells of observations among Indian tribal populations spanning the period from 1940 to 1980. Ever since 1936, when a study of the Konyak Nagas marked the beginning of my career as an anthropological field-worker, I have maintained contacts with Indian tribesmen. True, there were years when I concentrated on the study of the mountain peoples of Nepal, but even then I paid periodic visits to some of the tribal areas of India, and this enabled me to keep abreast of current developments. When in 1976 I retired from the Chair of Asian Anthropology at the University of London and could devote more time to fieldwork, I decided to undertake a systematic investigation of social and economic changes affecting the tribal societies which I had studied in the 1940s. A grant from the Social Science Research Council of Great Britain, as well as subsidiary awards from the Leverhulme Trust Fund and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, provided the material basis for this project, which included also the funding of parallel research by my young colleague Dr.

Nearly 67percent of the State is underlain by hard rock formations consisting of granites, gneisses, metamorphics and intrusives (Archaeans), Precambrian quartzites, shales and limestones (Cuddapahs & Kurnools), Mesozoic Deccan Trap basalts etc., while the remaining area is underlain by Gondwana, Tertiary sedimentaries and Sub Recent-Recent alluvium. The occurrence and movement of ground water in hard rocks is chiefly controlled by thickness of weathering and structural features like fractures and solution cavities.
