The publications for the first four years of the Third Plan have already been issued. This is the fifth issue relating to the year 1965-6S. This publication gives in Part I a brief review of progress on plan schemes during the year 1965-66 in particular and during the entire Third Plan in general. The Part II consists of schexne'\yise and region-wise details of pio\ ision made and expenditure (unreconciled) incurred under each Head of Department/Development together witi physical targets and achievements. Besides, Part III of |this issue gi'cs the important physical targets and year-wise achieve­ ments durii:g the Third Five-Year Plan period together with the details for i_>66-67 and for Fourth Plan 1966-71. 2. The ecpenditure figures adopted in this review were obtained from the Htads of Departments during the period April, 1966 to August, 396). These figures are subject to reconciliation and revi­ sion. In tht case of some items under Agriculture like pest control, seed farms and seed stores and rural electrification under power, ex­ penditure is iicurred both from Plan and non-Plan funds. It is likely tliat the figuies reported under these items include expenditure on the Bon-Plan conponent which will be determined after the reconciliation. 3. This Kview which covers the progress of entire Third Plan period, it is lopcd, will provide useful information to all those con­ cerned with or interested in planning and to the general public.

The ceiling originally fixed for the ITiird Five-Year Plan of Andhra Pradesh was Rs. 305.cx> crores. This was revised in 1963 to Rs. 312.66 crores in order to provide more funds for Minor Irrigation and Soil Conservation Programmes. The Central Assistance for this Plan was Rs. 203.06 crores, the balance Rs. 109.60 crores being the State's share. The State Government represented to the Government of India in 1964 the need to provide additional assistance in Third Plan of Rs. 13.00 crores for Nagarjunasagar Project, Rs. 3.23 crores for Tungabhadra Project High Level Canal and Rs. 4.36 crores for Pochampad Project to get accelerated benefits of 5.79 lakh acres under Nagarjunasagar Pro­ ject by June 1966, 1.19 lakh acres under Tungabhadra Project High Level Canal at the end of the first year of the Fourth Plan and 3.33 lakh acres under Pochampad in 1968-69. The Government of India agreed to the accelerated programmes under Nagarjunasagar Project and Tungabhadra Project High Level Canal, but for Pochampad they considered that the existing Third Plan provision of Rs. 3.67 crores was sufficient since the Project was still in the initial stage of construction. The outlay in the first four years 1961-65 of the Plan was Rs. 244.11 crores including the additional assistance of Rs. 4.00 crores for Nagarjunasagar Project and Rs. 1.25 crores for Tungabhadra Project High Level Canal sanctioned during 1964-65 while the expenditure incurred during this period was Rs.

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.

    www.ijcrt.org © 2019 IJCRT | Volume 7, Issue 3 August 2019 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Environmental and Social Issues and Concerns of Indira Sagar Project (Polavaram Dam) Nagaraju Chikkala1, K. Anil Kumar2 1Dr. Nagaraju Chikkala, Programme Coordinator, AP Society for Social Audit Accountability and Tansparency (APSSAAT), Department of Rural Development, Govt of Andhra Pradesh, Guntur 2Dr. K. Anil Kumar, Assistant Professor, Discipline of Anthropology, School of Social Sciences, Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi Abstract Indira Sagar Project (Polavaram Dam) the largest in history, about to complete in Andhra Pradesh, brings with it many social and environmental concerns. The project has displaced many tribal communities, putting strain on the social fabric of the area and, in the process, drawing our attention to issues of structural violence. In terms of environmental concerns, the Indira Sagar Project makes the area far more vulnerable to ecosystem disruption through erosion and landslides, among other things. This study explores the implications of the Indira Sagar Project in the context of environmental and social issues. In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the historical and physical background of the Indira Sagar Project and extent of land acquisition for the project. The emphasis here is to know the nature, extent of submergence of the total area and magnitude of population displacement. The paper also deals with the response of displaced people, local organization, political parties, NGOs, and civil societies against the project. Keywords: indira sagar dam, population displacement, land submergence, environment and social implications, agitation. Introduction India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru while inaugurating Bhakra Nangal Dam on 8 July 1954 proclaimed that the dams were the temples of modern India.

  • Legal Instruments on Rivers in India Vol II
    FOR OFFICE USE ONLY AWARDS OF INTER-STATE WATER DISPUTES TRIBUNALS CENTRAL WATER COMMISSION INTER STATE MATTERS DIRECTORATE-1 NEW DELHI JANUARY, 2018 PREFACE India has been endowed with considerable water resources through numerous small and large rivers. Some of the larger Indian Rivers like the Indus or the Ganga- Brahmaputra-Meghna are international rivers. These and most of the other rivers are the inter-State rivers. Of the total geographical area of India, approximately 95% of the area is under international or inter-State rivers. The water resources development of these rivers takes place within the legal framework of development of the inter-State rivers. A sufficient familiarity with this legal framework (that is both its generalities and the specifics of a particular problem) is therefore, an essential pre-requisite for anyone interested in Planning, Development, Operation and Management of water resources of these rivers. The basic legal instruments which need to be referred to in this context can be classified as:- 1. The Constitutional provisions relevant to inter-State rivers. 2. Treaties or agreements between India and other countries in regard to development of international rivers/ basins. 3. The Laws enacted by the Parliament in connection with the development, use and regulation of inter-State rivers. 4. The awards and the proceedings of the inter-State water disputes tribunals set up by the Central Government. 5. Notifications, Resolutions, Orders etc. issued by the Central Government in pursuance of the Laws or Tribunal awards, setting up agencies, machineries or procedures to deal with inter-State rivers, from time to time.

  • Study on Backwater Effect Due to Polavaram Dam Project Under Different Return Periods
    water Article Study on Backwater Effect Due to Polavaram Dam Project under Different Return Periods Amarnath C R 1 and Shashidhar Thatikonda 2,* 1 Research Scholar, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, Kandi, Telangana 502285, India; [email protected] 2 Faculty, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, Kandi, Telangana 502285, India * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 December 2019; Accepted: 18 February 2020; Published: 20 February 2020 Abstract: In this study, we present a scenario to evaluate the backwater impacts on upstream of the Polavaram dam during floods. For this purpose, annual peak discharges across the different gauge stations in river stretch considered for flood frequency analysis. Statistical analysis is carried out for discharge data to estimate probable flood discharge values for 1000 and 10,000 years return period along with 0.1 and 0.14 million m3/s discharge. Furthermore, the resulting flood discharge values are converted to water level forecasts using a steady and unsteady flow hydraulic model, such as HEC-RAS. The water surface elevation at Bhadrachalam river stations with and without dam was estimated for 1000 and 10,000 years discharge. Unsteady 2D flow simulations with and without the dam with full closure and partial closure modes of gate operation were analysed. The results showed that with half of the gates as open and all gates closed, water surface elevation of 62.34 m and 72.34 m was obtained at Bhadrachalam for 1000 and 10,000 years. The 2D unsteady flow simulations revealed that at improper gate operations, even with a flow of 0.1 million m3/s, water levels at Bhadrachalam town will be high enough to submerge built-up areas and nearby villages.

No.12-13 of 2011 in Special Leave Petition (C) No.19628-19629 of 2009, in the matter of Deepak Kumar etc. Vs. State of Haryana and Others etc., prior environmental clearance has made mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease. Accordingly, Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF & CC) had issued Office Memorandum No. LllOll/47/2011-IA.II(M) dated 18th May 2013. As per this O.M. all mining projects of minor minerals would henceforth require prior Environmental Clearance irrespective of the lease area. The stone quarry and sand quarrying projects need environmental clearance as per the MoEF guidelines and such pg. 47 projects are treated as Category ‘B' even if the lease area is less than 5 Ha. Subsequently, various amendments were made as regards to obtain environmental clearance of the minor minerals. The Hon'ble National Green Tribunal, vide its order dated the 13th January, 2015 in the matter regarding sand mining has directed for making a policy on environmental clearance for mining leases in cluster for minor minerals. As per the latest amendment S.O. 141 (E) & S.O.190(E) dated 15th January 2016 & 20th January in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) and in pursuance of notification of Ministry of Environment and Forest number S.O.

  • A Case Study of the Polavaram Dam Project
    FELDES | 71 Imaginaries of Development: A Case Study of the Polavaram Dam Project Klara Feldes Abstract: Large dams and their social consequences have been subject to extensive debate in recent decades. In India, the National River Linking Project (NRLP), which is the world’s largest water project in the making and involves the construction of several dams, has been at the centre of this debate. The 168‐billion‐dollar project is designed to connect the majority of Indian rivers to a gigantic water grid. Historical‐ ly, large scale water infrastructure in the subcontinent has been discursively linked to imaginaries of development and national progress, as underlined by Nehru’s famous quote proclaiming large dams as ‘the temples of modern India’. However, these imaginaries clash with the experiences of those affected by the construction of dams: not only are the displaced communities among the most marginalized in Indian society, but they also benefit the least and suffer the most from such pro‐ jects. This article begins by exploring the degree to which such imaginaries contin‐ ue to be prominent in contemporary political discourse, by undertaking an analysis of the media coverage received by the Polavaram Project, i.e. the first project im‐ plemented under the NRLP scheme. Secondly, it contrasts the findings with the experiences of those being subject to displacement due to the implementation of the project. This second part relies on data gathered during ethnographic field‐ work, notably the qualitative interviews conducted by the author across the neigh‐ bouring Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Chhattisgarh in areas af‐ fected by the Polavaram project.

  • 1. Salient Features of East Godavari District
    District Survey Report - 2018 1. Salient Features of East Godavari District East Godavari District which is one of the largest and the most populous district in the state of Andhra Pradesh, was successively ruled by Mauryas, Sathavahanas, Vishnu Kundins, Eastern Chalukyas, Cholas, Kakatiyas, Musunuri Chieftains, Kondaveeti Reddy Kings, Gajapathis, Kutubshahis and then by the British. It was under the Raj. On April 15, 1925, East Godavari District was formed as per G.O.No.502. East Godavari is the richest district of the state, in terms of GDP. It is both the cultural and tourist hub of the state. East Godavari is a district in Coastal Andhra region of Andhra Pradesh, India. Its district headquarters is at Kakinada. As of Census 2011, it became the most populous district of the state. Rajahmundry and Kakinada are the two large cities in the Godavari districts in terms of population. The district of Rajahmundry (present name Rajamahendravaram) was reorganised in 1859 into two districts of Godavari and Krishna. Godavari District was further bifurcated into East and West Godavari districts in 1925. After Nov 1956, Andhra Pradesh was formed by combining parts of Naizam, Ceded and Circars. In 1959, the Bhadrachalam revenue division, consisting of Bhadrachalam and Naguru Taluqs (2 Taluqas in 1959 but later subdivided into Wajedu, Venkatapruram, Charla, Dummugudem, Bhadrachalam, Nellipaka, Chinturu, Kunavaram, and Vara Rama Chandra Puram mandals) of East Godavari district were merged into the Khammam district. After June 2014's reorganisation and division of Andhra Pradesh, the Mandals of Bhadrachalam (with the exception of Bhadrachalam Temple), Nellipaka, Chinturu, Kunavaram and Vara Rama Chandra Puram were re-added to East Godavari District.

Three agri reform Bills introduced 1 15.09.2020 Tuesday Centre opposes move to recognise same-sex unions The Centre on Monday opposed before the Delhi High Court a petition seeking recognition of same-sex marriages, saying, “our legal system, society and values do not recognise marriage between same sex couples”. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, said the 2018 judgment of the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court “merely decriminalises homosexuality or lesbianism, nothing more, nothing less”. Struck down in 2018: On September 6, 2018, a five-judge Constitution Bench, led by then Chief Justice Dipak Misra, unanimously held that criminalisation of private consensual sexual conduct between adults of the same sex under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code is clearly unconstitutional. “This is my version on record. I will not even file an affidavit. I will only rely on statutory provisions. If a wife dies within seven years, there is a separate punishment. Now, who will be treated as a wife [in same sex marriage]?” Mr. Mehta asked. Contrary to provisions: The Solicitor General said the petition was not permissible as it was asking the court to legislate and also that any relief granted “would run contrary to various statutory provisions”.
