  • Chapter-7 Profile of Nashik District
    Chapter-7 Profile of Nashik District 7.1 A Historical Perspective : Nashik has a personaUty of its own, due to its mythological, historical, social and cultural importance. The city is situated on the banks of the Godavari River, making it one of the holiest places for Hindus all over the world. Nashik has a rich historical past, as the mythology has it that Lord Rama, the King of Ayodhya, made Nashik his adobe during his 14 years in exile. At the same place Lord Laxman, by the wish of Lord Rama, cut the nose of 'Shurpnakha' and thus this city was named as 'Nashik'. In Kritayuga, Nashik was 'Trikantak', 'Janasthana' in Dwaparyuga and later in Kuliyuga it became 'Navashikh' or 'Nashik'. Renowned poets like Valmiki, Kalidas and Bhavabhooti have paid rich tributes here. Nashi in 150 BC was believed to be the country's largest market place. From 1487 AD this province came under the rule of Mughals and was known as 'Gulchanabad'. It was also home of Emperor Akbar and he has written at length about Nashik in 'Ein-e-Akbari'. It was also known as the 'Land of the brave' during the regime of Chhatrapati ShivajiMaharaj. 7.1.1 Ramayana Period : No one knows when the city of Nashik came into existence. It is stated to have been present even in the Stone Age. Lord Ramchandra along with wife Sita and brother Laxman settled down in Nashik for the major time of their 'Vanwasa'. According to the mythology, Laxman cut the nose ('Nasika' in Sanskrita) of 'Shurpanakha' and hence the city got the name 'Nashik'.

  • Dadabhai Naoroji
    UNIT – IV POLITICAL THINKERS DADABHAI NAOROJI Dadabhai Naoroji (4 September 1825 – 30 June 1917) also known as the "Grand Old Man of India" and "official Ambassador of India" was an Indian Parsi scholar, trader and politician who was a Liberal Party member of Parliament (MP) in the United Kingdom House of Commons between 1892 and 1895, and the first Asian to be a British MP, notwithstanding the Anglo- Indian MP David Ochterlony Dyce Sombre, who was disenfranchised for corruption after nine months. Naoroji was one of the founding members of the Indian National Congress. His book Poverty and Un-British Rule in India brought attention to the Indian wealth drain into Britain. In it he explained his wealth drain theory. He was also a member of the Second International along with Kautsky and Plekhanov. Dadabhai Naoroji's works in the congress are praiseworthy. In 1886, 1893, and 1906, i.e., thrice was he elected as the president of INC. In 2014, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg inaugurated the Dadabhai Naoroji Awards for services to UK-India relations. India Post depicted Naoroji on stamps in 1963, 1997 and 2017. Contents 1Life and career 2Naoroji's drain theory and poverty 3Views and legacy 4Works Life and career Naoroji was born in Navsari into a Gujarati-speaking Parsi family, and educated at the Elphinstone Institute School.[7] He was patronised by the Maharaja of Baroda, Sayajirao Gaekwad III, and started his career life as Dewan (Minister) to the Maharaja in 1874. Being an Athornan (ordained priest), Naoroji founded the Rahnumai Mazdayasan Sabha (Guides on the Mazdayasne Path) on 1 August 1851 to restore the Zoroastrian religion to its original purity and simplicity.

  • Zonal Disaster Management Plan 2019
    201920162018 FOREWORD I am happy to note that the Safety Department of Central Railway is bringing out a revised edition of the Zonal Disaster Management Plan of Central Railway for the year 2019. Earlier, a ‘Disaster’ on the Railway meant only a serious train accident. The situation has now changed with the promulgation of Disaster Management Act in the year 2005. Under this act, the word ‘Disaster’ includes natural calamities like earthquake, floods, etc., and also man- made disasters like terrorist acts through bomb blasts, chemical, nuclear and biological disasters. Basically, a ‘Disaster’ is a situation which is beyond the coping capacity of Railways and would require large scale assistance from other agencies. Arising out of DM Act, Government of India has formed a National Crisis Management Committee (NCMC). Thus, Central Management Groups (CMG’s) have been formed in each Ministry, including Railway Ministry, under NCMC. An Integrated Operation Centre (IOC) has been opened in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to handle disaster situation 24 x 7. All concerned Ministries/Departments/Organisations/Agencies will report events to IOC. This Zonal Disaster Management Plan includes brief particulars of these Committees/Groups. A new training methodology and schedule decided by the Board is also included in this Disaster Management plan which will be helpful to strengthen and revamp the Training on Disaster Management being imparted to several tiers of railway officials through Railway Training Institutes. This Plan provides for a structured means of response to any accident or calamity that involves the Railways and ensures that resources of State Administration, National Disaster Response Force and others quickly become available for deployment.
