It was first studie d by Wilkinson ( 1 8 71) and Foote ( 1876). In subsequent years, sporadic papers, comprising essentially of preliminary r e ports on the Ge ology of r e stricte d areas, h ave b een publishe d. Pascoe (1922) reported the occurrence of Kaolin near Malvan. Iyer (1939) reported the occurrence of clay f rom Vengurla suitable for c e ramic purpose s. Howeve r, n o attempt has been made to study in detail the mineralogy and industrial propertie s of clays exposed in the s e parts. In a n atte mpt to study the clays assoc iate d with g r a nitic rocks, the present investig ation has been undertaken. 2 Location The area covered by the present investigations, about 5,000 sq kms in extent, is bounded by latitudes 15°38' N and 16°42' N and longitudes 73°20' E and 74°15' E.

  • Tourism Development for Forts in Maharashtra, India
    International Journal of Management, Technology And Engineering ISSN NO : 2249-7455 Modern Project Management for Heritage Conservation: Tourism Development for Forts in Maharashtra, India Dr. Parag Govardhan Narkhede , Prof. Mrudula Darade 1. BKPS College of Architecture, Pune 2. D Y Patil School of Architecture, Charholi, Pune, India ABSTRACT Modern project management techniques are essential for heritage preservation. Implementation of conservation proposals through management is more effective in terms of duration taken and on time completion. The paper deals with the study of forts in Maharashtra Region for the feasibility and potential to develop them as a tourist destination through conservation and preservation. The paper discusses the issues, constraints and potential of tourism in the study area for the future development. And suggest a methodology and guidelines for planning and development of forts considering Eco-Tourism to promote the Tourism activity. Affordability of people is increased due to Globalization and IT Sector, so there is demand for this kind of development. Since there are 350 odd forts in Maharashtra, standing as silent sentinels to history there is a very high Tourism Potential which could develop through the preservation and conservation of the same. Ideal management techniques for the same are to be identified and appropriate recommendations are to be suggested as an outcome of study. 1. INTRODUCTION Tourism in the form of activity influences the regions in which it is developed and received with economic, social, cultural, and environmental dimensions. In most of the development programmers and studies the focus is given only on economic and social dimensions where as environmental dimension is under estimated or ignored.
