Conclusion and Suggestions Conclusion and Suggestions The present study enlists various sources of irrigation, their spatial patterns and growth trends in Uttar Pradesh state of India. This study tries to explore the human-­ water interactions in irrigated agriculture of the state adapting socio-hydrological approach. Being the most populated state in the country, water demand in agricul- ture is high to produce adequate food for sustaining the population of the state. As a result, more use of groundwater through water extraction devices mainly through tubewells is prevalent since mid-1960s, which has resulted into change in land use dynamics focusing mainly on wheat and rice crops. The plentiful availability of ground water in the state has led to high level of development in certain parts of the state. Uneven patterns of human-water relation occur where indiscriminate exploi- tation of groundwater resources prevails, which led to decline in water tables in many pockets of the state. Hence, irrigation water management is a prerequisite condition for achieving sustainable agricultural development in the state. This research deals with the development of irrigated agriculture in the state dur- ing 20 years of time period since 1995–1996 to 2014–2015 which has been further divided into four quinquennial periods, i.e., 1995–2000, 2000–2005, 2005–2010 and 2010–2015 so as to make a comparative assessment. From the analysis, it can be explained that, there has been a significant increase in gross irrigated area in the state from 67.28% (17.59 million ha.) to 77.85% (20.11 million ha.) during the peri- ods of 1995–2000 and 2010–2015. Bundelkhand region of the state recorded the highest positive growth in gross irrigated area, followed by central and eastern parts, whereas its growth in western region has been negative during the periods 1995– 2000 to 2000–2005 and 2005–2010 to 2010–2015. The number of districts almost tripled having above 85% of gross irrigated area from 1995–2000 to 2010–2015, and most of the growth in gross irrigated area was observed in the districts confined to Awadh and Purvanchal regions of the state. It is evident from the study that, net irrigated area was high in almost all the districts of the state, except some districts of Bundelkhand and north-eastern tarai belt of the state. Net irrigated area has been positive with a growth of above 3% during the respective periods of study. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 349 S. Lata, Irrigation Water Management for Agricultural Development in Uttar Pradesh, India, Advances in Asian Human-Environmental Research, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-00952-6 350 Conclusion and Suggestions Bundelkhand and central regions of the state have shown a high positive growth in net irrigated area during these periods. It can be observed from the study that, area irrigated more than once acquired a steady increase in its area from 28% to nearly 38% during this period. The districts belonging to Bundelkhand and eastern region of the state achieved the higher growth in area irrigated more than once as against the western region which was characterized with negative and low growth during these periods. This is attributed to the fact that, an increase in area irrigated more than once led to an increase in gross irrigated area in the state. While examining the source-wise growth in irrigated area, it was observed that, it has been significant in groundwater (tubewells) development in the state because of inherent weaknesses in maintenance of the surface water (canals) sources of irri- gation. It has been noted that operational efficiency of canal water is low because conveyance loss in irrigation water through canals is twice that of tubewells. Groundwater seems to be relatively more equitable than surface irrigation, though recent trends favour richer farmers who can afford deeper wells and larger pumps. As a result of the poor performance of public canal irrigation and the relative advan- tages of groundwater use, tubewells have become the predominant means of irriga- tion. Tubewells play a significant role in enhancing the extent of net irrigated area in the state and have become the major source of irrigation as they account for more than 70% of net irrigated area in the state. At present, more than 90% of tubewells irrigated area was observed in the districts of Gorakhpur, Farrukhabad, Baghpat, Kheri, Sitapur, Gonda, Mahamaya Nagar, Shrawasti, Agra, Aligarh, Mau, Kannauj and Firozabad. The districts of Bundelkhand region and Sonbhadra of Purvanchal showed a remarkable progress in tubewell irrigated area and achieved a growth of above 20% during all the periods of growth. In spite of the achievements, Bundelkhand still considered to be backward region in respect of irrigation, as about 40% of its total cropped area receives irrigation. Area irrigated through canals was very high in the districts of Chandauli, Sonbhadra and Mirzapur of Purvanchal region, and Jalaun of Bundelkhand region. The districts belonging to central part and Bundelkhand region of the state regis- tered a negative growth in canals irrigated area during all the periods of study. There has been a rapid decrease in area irrigated by government tubewells in all regions of the state during previous two periods of growth, i.e., 1995–2000 to 2000–2005 and 2000–2005 to 2005–2010. While during later period of growth (2005–2010 to 2010–2015), the government tubewells showed significant growth of 10.54% in the state including all the regions. These tubewells share a low percentage (about 3%) in net irrigated area in the state. Irrigated area by other wells recorded a significant growth in the state to the tune of 39.88, 27.15 and 19.37% in respective periods of growth. Annual growth rates calculated for the last 20 years period from 1995–1996 to 2014–2015 showed a positive growth of 1.06 and 0.86% per annum in gross and net irrigated area of the state, respectively. Highest positive growth in gross irrigated area was seen in the districts of Bahraich followed by Gonda, Lalitpur, Sitapur, Deoria and Jalaun, whereas lowest negative growth was recorded by the districts of Etah, GBN and Sonbhadra. In terms of net irrigated area again the districts of Conclusion and Suggestions 351 Bahraich, Sitapur, Lalitpur and Jalaun were on top of the list, whereas the districts namely Meerut, Varanasi, Sonbhadra, Etah and GBN were showed negative growth rate per annum. The districts possessing high growth rate per annum in area irri- gated more than once mainly belonged to Purvanchal region of the state, including the district of Gonda, along with Jhansi and Jalaun of Bundelkhand region. Area irrigated through canals recorded a negative growth of −0.94% per annum in the state. Highest positive growth in canal irrigated area was recorded in the districts of Bijnor followed by Lalitpur, Siddharthnagar and Faizabad in contrast to a low nega- tive growth achieved by the districts of JPN, Baghpat, Basti, Rampur, Shrawasti and Budaun. Very high growth in tubewell irrigated area was noticed in the districts of Bundelkhand region namely, Lalitpur, Mahoba and Chitrakoot, and also including Sonbhadra of Purvanchal. As regards to annual growth rates in crop-wise irrigated area, cash crops and cereals were highly irrigated crops to the extent of about 96.63% and 85.04% of the total area sown under these crops, and showed a significant growth of 1.40 and 1.19% per annum, respectively during the study period. The districts representing Awadh, Purvanchal, Bundelkhand and lower doab regions recorded a very high and high growth rate per annum in irrigated area under cereal crops. Very low negative growth rate per annum in irrigated area of cereal crops was featured in the districts of Meerut, Etah, GBN and Sonbhadra. High percentage of growth in area irrigated under cash crops during the same period was seen in the districts of Awadh and middle and lower doab regions of the state. For state as a whole, the growth rate per annum in area irrigated under pulse crops was in negative order (i.e., −1.59%). For pulse crops, very high and high growth rates were recorded by the districts of Bundelkhand, Awadh, lower doab and Rohilkhand regions. In contrast, the districts namely, Bara Banki, Etah and Agra were characterised with very low negative growth rate. Oilseed crops in the state showed a slight positive growth (0.03%/ annum) in irrigated area during this period. The districts of Bundelkhand, Rohilkhand and Purvanchal regions showed a very high and high growth in irrigated area under oilseed crops in the state. About growth trends in irrigated area under cereal crops, bajra, rice and wheat were characterized with positive growth rates of 5.56, 2.02 and 0.90% per annum, respectively. In contrast to this, other cereal crops had negative growth during this period. Highest negative growth rate was seen in jowar (−5.55%/annum) followed by barley and maize with −2.95 and − 0.29% per annum, respectively. All the pulse crops recorded negative growth rates. Among oilseed crops, irrigated area showed positive growth rate for groundnut and til. Soybean and mustard and rapeseeds were having negative growth rates to the tune of −8.28 and −0.01% per annum, respec- tively. Among cash crops, potato and sugarcane crops were accounted for 2.16 and 1.21% growth rate in irrigated area, respectively during 1995–1995 to 2014–2015. The analysis indicates that, average irrigation intensity for the state as a whole was 145% during 2010–2015. The districts of Rampur and Moradabad of Rohilkhand, Mainpuri of lower doab and Bara Banki of Awadh region showed very high irrigation intensity during the periods of study.

  • The Emergence of the Mahajanapadas
    The Emergence of the Mahajanapadas Sanjay Sharma Introduction In the post-Vedic period, the centre of activity shifted from the upper Ganga valley or madhyadesha to middle and lower Ganga valleys known in the contemporary Buddhist texts as majjhimadesha. Painted grey ware pottery gave way to a richer and shinier northern black polished ware which signified new trends in commercial activities and rising levels of prosperity. Imprtant features of the period between c. 600 and 321 BC include, inter-alia, rise of ‘heterodox belief systems’ resulting in an intellectual revolution, expansion of trade and commerce leading to the emergence of urban life mainly in the region of Ganga valley and evolution of vast territorial states called the mahajanapadas from the smaller ones of the later Vedic period which, as we have seen, were known as the janapadas. Increased surplus production resulted in the expansion of trading activities on one hand and an increase in the amount of taxes for the ruler on the other. The latter helped in the evolution of large territorial states and increased commercial activity facilitated the growth of cities and towns along with the evolution of money economy. The ruling and the priestly elites cornered most of the agricultural surplus produced by the vaishyas and the shudras (as labourers). The varna system became more consolidated and perpetual. It was in this background that the two great belief systems, Jainism and Buddhism, emerged. They posed serious challenge to the Brahmanical socio-religious philosophy. These belief systems had a primary aim to liberate the lower classes from the fetters of orthodox Brahmanism.

  • Development of Regional Politics in India: a Study of Coalition of Political Partib in Uhar Pradesh
    DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL POLITICS IN INDIA: A STUDY OF COALITION OF POLITICAL PARTIB IN UHAR PRADESH ABSTRACT THB8IS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF fioctor of ^IHloKoplip IN POLITICAL SaENCE BY TABRBZ AbAM Un<l«r tht SupMvMon of PBOP. N. SUBSAHNANYAN DEPARTMENT Of POLITICAL SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALI6ARH (INDIA) The thesis "Development of Regional Politics in India : A Study of Coalition of Political Parties in Uttar Pradesh" is an attempt to analyse the multifarious dimensions, actions and interactions of the politics of regionalism in India and the coalition politics in Uttar Pradesh. The study in general tries to comprehend regional awareness and consciousness in its content and form in the Indian sub-continent, with a special study of coalition politics in UP., which of late has presented a picture of chaos, conflict and crise-cross, syndrome of democracy. Regionalism is a manifestation of socio-economic and cultural forces in a large setup. It is a psychic phenomenon where a particular part faces a psyche of relative deprivation. It also involves a quest for identity projecting one's own language, religion and culture. In the economic context, it is a search for an intermediate control system between the centre and the peripheries for gains in the national arena. The study begins with the analysis of conceptual aspect of regionalism in India. It also traces its historical roots and examine the role played by Indian National Congress. The phenomenon of regionalism is a pre-independence problem which has got many manifestation after independence. It is also asserted that regionalism is a complex amalgam of geo-cultural, economic, historical and psychic factors.

  • Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªrobes of Honourº in India
    Folklore 112 (2001):23± 45 RESEARCH ARTICLE Killer Khilats, Part 1: Legends of Poisoned ªRobes of Honourº in India Michelle Maskiell and Adrienne Mayor Abstract This article presents seven historical legends of death by Poison Dress that arose in early modern India. The tales revolve around fears of symbolic harm and real contamination aroused by the ancient Iranian-in¯ uenced customs of presenting robes of honour (khilats) to friends and enemies. From 1600 to the early twentieth century, Rajputs, Mughals, British, and other groups in India participated in the development of tales of deadly clothing. Many of the motifs and themes are analogous to Poison Dress legends found in the Bible, Greek myth and Arthurian legend, and to modern versions, but all seven tales display distinc- tively Indian characteristics. The historical settings reveal the cultural assump- tions of the various groups who performed poison khilat legends in India and display the ambiguities embedded in the khilat system for all who performed these tales. Introduction We have gathered seven ª Poison Dressº legends set in early modern India, which feature a poison khilat (Arabic, ª robe of honourº ). These ª Killer Khilatº tales share plots, themes and motifs with the ª Poison Dressº family of folklore, in which victims are killed by contaminated clothing. Because historical legends often crystallise around actual people and events, and re¯ ect contemporary anxieties and the moral dilemmas of the tellers and their audiences, these stories have much to tell historians as well as folklorists. The poison khilat tales are intriguing examples of how recurrent narrative patterns emerge under cultural pressure to reveal fault lines within a given society’s accepted values and social practices.

  • The Politicization of the Peasantry in a North Indian State: I*
    The Politicization of the Peasantry in a North Indian State: I* Paul R. Brass** During the past three decades, the dominant party in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (U. P.), the Indian National Congress, has undergone a secular decline in its support in state legislative assembly elections. The principal factor in its decline has been its inability to establish a stable basis of support among the midle peasantry, particularly among the so-called 'backward castes', with landholdings ranging from 2.5 to 30 acres. Disaffected from the Congress since the 1950s, these middle proprietary castes, who together form the leading social force in the state, turned in large numbers to the BKD, the agrarian party of Chaudhuri Charan Singh, in its first appearance in U. P. elections in 1969. They also provided the central core of support for the Janata party in its landslide victory in the 1977 state assembly elections. The politicization of the middle peasantry in this vast north Indian province is no transient phenomenon, but rather constitutes a persistent factor with which all political parties and all governments in U. P. must contend. I Introduction This articlet focuses on the state of Uttar Pradesh (U. P.), the largest state in India, with a population of over 90 million, a land area of 113,000 square miles, and a considerable diversity in political patterns, social structure, and agricul- tural ecology. My purpose in writing this article is to demonstrate how a program of modest land reform, designed to establish a system of peasant proprietorship and reenforced by the introduction of the technology of the 'green revolution', has, in the context of a political system based on party-electoral competition, enhanced the power of the middle and rich peasants.

  • Indian National Congress and Eka Movement in Awadh*
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Impact Factor (2018): 7.426 Indian National Congress and Eka Movement in Awadh* Amit Kumar Tiwari Research Scholar, Center For Gandhian Thought and Peace Studies, Central University of Gujarat, Gandhinagar, Sector- 29, 382029 Abstract: Awadh region has glorious historical background. In ancient India, Awadh region came under KaushalJanapada. According to Hindu mythology, Rama was the king of KaushalJanapada whose capital was Ayodhya which is now in Faizabad district of Utter Pradesh. This area was the heartland of Saltanat kings as well as Mughal kings because of its agriculture production. In later Mughal period, Awadhbecame independent state.Dalhousie conquered Awadh in 1856. And, after British control, a series of peasant’s movement started in different parts of Awadh. After the establishment of Indian National Congress, peasant movements got new dimension. The discourse on peasant movements have been discussed by mainly three school of thoughts in India such as Marxist perspective, nationalist perspective and subaltern perspective. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to understand Eka movement under the umbrella of Indian national Congress. Keywords: Peasant‟s movements, Indian National Congress, KisanSabha, Eka movement *The present paper is a chapter of my M.Phil.dissertation ‘Indian National Congress and Peasant Movements; A Study of Eka Movement in Awadh’ Central University of Gujarat, 2016. I am grateful to the Centre for Gandhian Thought and Peace Studies at Central University of Gujarat. I am also grateful to my supervisor, Mr.SmrutiRanjan Dhal under whom supervision, I conducted my M.Phil. work. I am also thankful to my new supervisor, Dr.

  • A Regional Analysis of Food Security in Bundelkhand Region (Uttar Pradesh, India)
    Journal of Geography and Regional Planning Vol. 5(9), pp. 252-262, 4 May, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/JGRP DOI: 10.5897/JGRP12.023 ISSN 2070-1845 ©2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper A regional analysis of food security in Bundelkhand region (Uttar Pradesh, India) Adnan Shakeel*, Ayesha Jamal and Md. Naiyer Zaidy Department of Geography, Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, 202002, India. Accepted 3 April, 2012 In the present study the authors have attempted to analyse the condition of food security in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh at district level. Bundelkhand region has been chosen as a unit of study because it is one of the poorest regions in comparison with western, central and eastern regions of the state and even after being in close proximity to heartland of green revolution (Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh) the region is still backward in agricultural development in India in general.
