Page 810-873 810 167 Vol. No. XLIII No. 35 of 1930. BOMBAY PRESIDENCY POLICE ABSTRACT OF INTELLIGENCE Poona, August 30, 1930. POLITICAL, POLITICO-RELIGIOUS AND RACIAL MOVEMENT 1465. Civil Disobedience Movement. General Summary. (1) S. B., Bombay Presidency, Poona, August 16.—In the northern districts, agitation among students has been noticeable, while in Nasik, West Khandesh, Satara and in the southern districts agitation against the forest laws continues. National flag agitation, which is a form of propaganda which costs little but which easily raises passions, has been much exploited. National flag agitation has also been employed to inflame the youths in Poona and a part of students from the Benares Hindu University sponsored by Pandit Malaviya have helped to stimulate them. Women have also taken part in picketing the Fergusson College here, though not with great success. 1The Rajadroha was probably the vernacular version of the Revolt. See Daily Report part of this volume. 811 Forest agitation has been given a religious tinge, and a leaflet has appeared in West Khandesh telling the villagers that the cow, which is sacred to them, used to be well-ted in the past when grazing was free, but that this satanic Government has been changing all this by repressive grazing laws. The prospect of free grazing ana iree wood from the forest, combined with appeals on behalf of the cow, are likely to prove a stimulant to agitation an these parts. The simpleminded Bhil and his more sophisticated Maratha neighbour of Sakri taluka in West Khandesh district, and the adjoining parts of the Nasik district are likely to respond to it if counter measures are not adopted. * * * (2)Thana.—Week ending August 2, 22 meetings, none with an attendance of over 600. Speakers from Bombay urged that no notice should be taken of peace negotiations. The other usual subjects were spoken on. (3)Bandra.—Usual daily meetings and small audiences.

B., Bombay Presidency, Poona, August 23.—Agitation is still general throughout the districts, particularly in ……………….. Nasik, West Khandesh, Poona, Satara………………… and Kolaba.

Volunteers were told at the not to quarrel among themselves. Abdulla Rahimtulla Chhawani complained that the merchants appeared to be against the boycott of foreign cloth, which was bad, because the movement depends on them. V. J. Patel said he was glad to see the local enthusiasm for this movement. If they wanted swaraj they must boycott British goods and manufacture yarn. He had left Government owing to its present policy. Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya merely supported Patel and requested the women to spin and ply charkhas, which would help them to obtain swaraj. The usual remarks were made about the Government having gone mad, and women were requested to join the movement. August 16 Ghatkopar 1,500 Speeches were made on boycott, and that all were ready to go to jail, charkhas and taklis were the only means of fighting. Vithalbhai J. Patel said very little, merely requesting the audience to listen to Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya addressed the meeting in Hindi. He requested the audience not to use foreig cloth because thereby they lost 70 crores of rupees. Women also should take part in the movement. In the Dast many women had fought for India, All should work on taklis and charkhas in their homes. 1 Famous freedom fighter and Social worker in Thana district. 814 Date Place Audiencs Remarks (1) (1) (3) (4) August 16 Versowa, 500 Abdulla Rahimtulla and Raraibai Kamdar stated that Andheri Government had taken money on several occasions from taluka. the Kolis and reduced them to poverty. All should, therefore, join the Congress, boycott British goods and break civil laws. The British people boasted that the sun never sets on the British Empire ; they must prove by this movement that it did set. All must remember that the movement was non- violent. The business of England has slackened and the labouring classes were starving. August 12 Malad, The following resolution was passed— Andheri " With a view to complete the programme as drafted by the taluka. Working Committee of the National Congress, the Comm ittee requests the Satyagraha Camp, Ville Parle, to extend its activities at Malad and create the necessary atmosphere to picket liquor and toddy shops here."

Chapter 4 gives d e ta ils of agro-produce of the d is t r ic t . I t is found that, both ag ric u ltu re as well as agro-based industries had no speedy progress in the district during the decade. This chapter emphasises some of the problems of a g ric u ltu re and agro-based industries in Ahmed­ nagar d is t r ic t . 7.2 TalukaMise irrigation sources and imbalance in net irrigated area in the district There are 13 talukas in the Ahmednagar district, some of them were irrig a te d , whereas some were dry. Ir r ig a tio n was unequal in the d is t r ic t during the decade 1981-90. This imbalance in irrigation created imbalance in agricultural development. Water is also the basic need for industrialisa­ tion, but there was scarcity of water even for drinking in Pathardi, Shevgaon, Jamkhed, Parner and Karjat talukas. Agro-industrialisation was very slow in these talukas due to non availability of water supply. Inadequate water supply affects the production of agro-based industries, for exam­ ple, paper mill of Sangamner sugar factory was facing a 241 severe problem of water supply during the year 1986-87, which affected the production of th is m ill.^ There are two types of irrigation. One is well irriga­ tion and the other is surface irrigation.

  • 4.1 Need for Research on Seasonal Migration
    4. METHODOLOGY This chapter deals with the methodological issues involved in completion of the present study. It explains the need, the problem and the objectives of the study, justification for selection of the area, selection of sample, methodology adopted for collection of data and analytical tools used in the study. 4.1 Need for Research on Seasonal Migration Seasonal migration is considered as an important feature of rural scene. Seasonal migration of agricultural labour affects the rural economy both in place of origin and of destination. It is an important mechanism by means of which the pressure of labour force in the village labour market is getting relieved to a larger extent. The labour migration hi&lps the farm economy and rural development. Seasonal migration is symptomatic of basic economic and social changes. In developing countries, rapid economic and social changes are accompanied by population redistribution between two areas. The migration flows have a bearing upon several problems of the development process such as employment and regional development. Therefore, it is necessary to study social and economic consequences of migration. The studies of seasonal migration of agricultural labour covering economic aspects are few and far between. Still more limited are perhaps those linking seasonal migration and rural development. Many researchers in literature 122 emphasised on the need for taking up the socio-economic research in this area of migration. There is need for studying migrant behaviour both at the place of origin and the place of destination (two-ended studies) and explaining it in the context of both communities. Most of the studies on seasonal migration of agricultural labour were conducted at one point of time.

  • Assessment of Weekly Water Surplus/Deficit in the Ahmednagar District of 2 Maharashtra, India
    1 Assessment of Weekly Water Surplus/Deficit in the Ahmednagar District of 2 Maharashtra, India 3 ABSTRACT 4 Climate change and its impact on water resources are one of the most important issues 5 affecting world agriculture at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The last four decades 6 have witnessed extensive research concerning climatic variability and trends of climatic 7 parameters in different regions and for the different time scale. Climatic water supply, as well as 8 demand, was changed in different regions of the world affect the food and nutritional security of 9 the region. Crop water requirement was also affected by the variation of meteorological 10 parameters under the conditions of climate change. The present study was undertaken to evaluate 11 tehsil-wise weekly water surplus/deficit availability during the rainy season (June to October) in 12 the Ahmednagar district for a period of 2001 to 2016. Water surplus and the deficit were 13 estimated by weekly rainfall and reference crop evapotranspiration. Results of the study revealed 14 that weekly water availability was very meagre during the rainy season in the Panrner nd 15 Kopargaon tehsil. A number of surplus weeks in this two tehsil were only four weeks which is 16 less than 20 per cent weeks. It was observed that in the Akole tehsil highest 12 (50%) weeks 17 were surplus followed by 9 weeks in Jamkhed tehsil. Remaining tehsils had existed water surplus 18 only during 6 to 8 number of weeks in the district.
