    THE STATUS OF RIVER GANGES IN THE MIDDLE STRETCH ______________________________________________________ 1 1. DEMOGRAPHIC FEATURES According to Census of India (Census of India, 2001a, 2001b) the population of India on 1st Mar 2001 stood at 1027.02 million (Male-531.28, Female-495.74). The population growth in India is fairly in tune with classical theory of demographic transition. During most of the nineteenth century, India witnessed a fluctuating but ultimately more or less a stagnant growth of population, which drifted into the twentieth century until 1921. Thereafter, the country passed through successively all the phases of demographic transition and is now widely believed to have entered the fifth phase, usually characterized by rapidly declining fertility. As per 2001 census the population density stood at 324 people per km2. The overall literacy rate was 65.38% (Male-75.85%, Female-54.16%). The share of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in total population was 16.17 and 8.07%, thus forming about 1/4th of the country’s population. The population of districts along the river Ganga (Kanpur-Bhagalpur stretch) in U.P. and Bihar formed 20.43 and 32.36% of the respective state’s population. The decadal population growth, sex ration and population density for the districts is depicted in Table 1. From the table it is obvious that population pressure is much more in the districts of Bihar as compared to U.P. The literacy status in different districts is presented in Table 2. The literacy states was poor in Bihar as compared to Uttar Pradesh. Table

    A Report on 'Domestic Tourism Expenditure'

    A Report on ‘Domestic Tourism Expenditure’ In Uttar Pradesh Based on Pooled Data (Central and State Sample) of 72nd Round NSS Schedule 21.1 (July 2014 to June 2015) ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS DIVISION PLANNING DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF UTTAR PRADESH LUCKNOW Website: http://updes.up.nic.in Email: [email protected] PREFACE The Seventy second round of NSSO (July 2014 to June 2015) was devoted exclusively for collection of data on 'Domestic Tourism Expenditure'. Uttar Pradesh State is a partner in NSS surveys since 9th round (1955), generally on equal matching basis of samples. The present report on "A Report on ‘Domestic Tourism Expenditure’ In Uttar Pradesh" is based on the result of pooled data of central and state sample of Uttar Pradesh. National Statistical Commission constituted a professional committee under the Chairmanship of Prof. R.Radhakrishna, to identify the preconditions for pooling of Central and State Sample NSS data, to suggest appropriate methodology for pooling the data and to bridge the data gaps and in turn strengthen the database for decentralized planning and governance. The necessity for pooling the Central and State sample data arose due to the growing need for improving the precision of estimates of policy parameters such as the labour force participation, level of living and well being, incidence of poverty, State Domestic Product (SDP), District Domestic Product(DDP) etc., and for strengthening the database at district level required for decentralized governance. Accordingly the NSC professional committee has recommended certain poolability tests and the methodologies for pooling of Central and State sample data of NSS. In the workshop which was held on 19th and 20thSeptember 2018 at Kolkata, it was demonstrated about the poolability tests and pooling the two sets of data and estimating the parameters based on two methods- (1) Matching ratio method and (2) Inverse Weight of the Variance of estimates method.

Dr. Bhagwan Deen, Associate Professor NDUA&T Faizabad, 2 General Observations: There is delay in supply of planting material particularly tissue culture banana saplings to the farmers. Timely supply of planting material need to be ensured to the farmers because delayed planting of banana adversely affects the productivity as younger plants are more susceptible to frost. The infrastructure facilities like laboratories, equipments, net houses, poly houses etc created with the support of NHM at Banaras Hindu University and Horticulture Department of the State Government should be used for the benefit of the farmers also. Field visits and interaction of JIT with farmers revealed that farmers have not been advised properly by grass root level technical staffs accountable for execution of NHM. Rather than area expansion, emphasis should be given on rejuvenation of senile orchards, post harvest management, mechanization, establishment of processing units and plant nurseries. There is an immediate need to intensify the guava canopy management programme in Banaras and Allahabad districts. The benefits have been repeated either to the same farmers or to the members of same family.
