  • About Chhattisgarh
    About Chhattisgarh Map Chhatisgarh state and districts (Stand 2007) At the time of separation from Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh originally had 16 districts. Two new districts: Bijapur and Narayanpur were carved out on May 11, 2007[1] and nine new districts on Jan 1, 2012. The new districts have been created by carving out the existing districts to facilitate more targeted, focused and closer administration. These districts have been named Sukma, Kondagaon, Balod, Bemetara, Baloda Bazar, Gariaband, Mungeli, Surajpur and Balrampur[2] Contents [hide] 1 Background 2 Administrative history 3 Districts of Chhattisgarh 4 References 5 External links Background[edit] A district of an Indian state is an administrative geographical unit, headed by a district magistrate or a deputy commissioner, an officer belonging to the Indian Administrative Service. The district magistrate or the deputy commissioner is assisted by a number of officials belonging to different wings of the administrative services of the state. A superintendent of Police, an officer belonging to Indian Police Service is entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining law and order and related issues. Administrative history Before Indian independence, present-day Chhattisgarh state was divided between the Central Provinces and Berar, a province of British India, and a number of princely states in the north, south, and east, which were part of the Eastern States Agency. The British province encompassed the central portion of the state, and was made up of three districts, Raipur, Bilaspur, and Durg, which made up the Chhattisgarh Division of the Central Provinces. Durg District was created in 1906 out of the eastern portion of Raipur District.

  • The Chhattisgarh Community Forest Rights Project, India
    OXFAM ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP CASE STUDY THE CHHATTISGARH COMMUNITY FOREST RIGHTS PROJECT, INDIA By Duncan Green We have lived here for three, four generations. Since my childhood I have seen how the Forest Department comes and cuts down trees. These trees have grown with us, some of these trees we have planted ourselves and have let them grow. They are like our children. We are not allowed to take even firewood but they cut down our trees. We feel very bad. Prem Sai, a community member of Bule village, Sarguja district, Chhattisgarh India’s new and heavily forested state of Chhattisgarh is home to some of its most marginalized communities, whose traditional ways of living from forest products are under threat from encroachment by mining and other activities. Oxfam India has supported a local partner NGO, Chaupal, to help forest communities to take advantage of the implementation gap between this reality and the provisions of progressive legislation, the Forest Rights Act (2006). Early results are extremely positive, with dozens of villages winning new forest and grazing rights under the Act. www.oxfam.org BACKGROUND India’s new state of Chhattisgarh was constituted on 1 November 2000, with 16 districts carved out of the state of Madhya Pradesh. Forests cover almost 44 percent of its total area. Eighty percent of Chhattisgarh’s population lives in rural parts and 32 per cent of its population is ‘tribal’ (‘scheduled tribes’, in India’s official language, are among the poorest and most marginalized people in the country).1 Forests are critical to tribal people’s lives and livelihoods.

  • Administration of the Union Territory of Lakshadweep
    ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNION TERRITORY OF LAKSHADWEEP PRESENTATION OF SHRI J. K.DADOO, IAS ADMINISTRATOR 55TH NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL MEETING AT NEW DELHI ON 24TH JULY, 2010 Hon’ble Prime Minister, Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission, Members of National Development Council, Union Ministers, Chief Ministers and distinguished dignitaries: It is a matter of privilege for me to participate in the deliberations of the 55th National Development Council (NDC) convened by our Hon’ble Prime Minister to consider and approve the Mid-Term Appraisal of 11th Five Year Plan inter-alia with other high focus issues. I represent the U.T. of Lakshadweep which is a group of 36 Coral Islands with the total land area of just 32 Sq. kms. 10 Islands are inhabited and these Islands are at a distance of about 300 to 450 kms. from mainland, Kochi. From pin to plane, everything comes from the mainland and this makes these Islands the remotest and the most difficult to live in. Basic infrastructure is limited and yet nearly 70,000 people inhabit these 10 Islands. Shipping is the backbone and Mangalore is the food lifeline while Calicut is the fuel lifeline. All other provisions are supplied from Kochi. In the above circumstances, regular flights from Kochi, Mangalore and Calicut to Agatti, the only Airport are imperative. At least 4 to 5 all weather ships which can ensure smooth and regular transportation of goods and passengers in the 5 months of the monsoon are equally paramount. With rising aspirations of the people, a fast speed vessel which can complete the journey between mainland and the Islands in about 6 hours, and provide a Rajdhani train kind of link would be extremely beneficial for the Islands.
