Economic, Educational and Health Status of Muslim Community in The Demographic, Socio ‐ Economic, Educational and Health Status of Muslim Community in the State of Maharashtra D. P. Singh, Ph.D. Professor & Chairperson Centre for Research Methodology Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai Preface To understand the situation of the Muslim community in the country the Government of India constituted a committee under the chairmanship of Justice Rajinder Sachar a retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India. The Sachar Committee Report is based on an extensive study of factual data from different sources and it contains several well-thought recommendations to safeguard the interest of the community and to enhance its socio-economic conditions. The state of Maharashtra which has a sizeable population of Muslims, also felt the need to scientifically study the facts about the Muslim community in the state. The Government of Maharashtra which has always been pro-active to see welfare of every religious community and especially the minorities, set up a separate Minority Commission to protect the interest of the minority communities. Towards this end, the MSMC sponsored a study of which this is a report. I am grateful to the Maharashtra State Minority Commission for having provided me an opportunity and financial support to undertake this study. It is a moderate effort to compile and analyze and present some demographic, social, economic and health related information about the Muslim community in the state. The support and encouragement received from the Commission's secretary Mr. S. E. A. Hashmi was overwhelming and I express my gratitude to him and his colleagues. He did everything to help me to finish this report in spite of my delaying the report because of my other professional engagements. I also thank my colleagues Prof. Ranu Jain and Dr. Abdul Shaban for their help and encouragement in completing this report. Prof S. Parasuraman, Director and other administrative official of Tata Institute of Social Sciences have, as always, been supportive of my academic endeavours. Last but not the least, I am thankful to Ms. Kalpana Singh, Mr. Rakesh Kumar Yadav and Mr. Dharmendra Dubey for their technical assistance. A special thanks is due to Mrs. Princy Yesudian for editing the entire work and providing technical support. Any shortcoming in terms of analysis or error in this research or data, I alone take responsibility. D.P.

    http://www.epitomejournals.com Vol. 2, Issue 12, December 2016, ISSN: 2395-6968 Tourism in Maharashtra Dr. Pandurang N. Dapke Assistant Professor& Head, Department of Economics, Sant Dnyaneshwar Mahavidyalaya, Soegaon, Dist. Aurangabad, MS, India. Abstract Tourism emerged as the largest global industry of the twenty first century. In the new millennium, global economy will be governed by technology, telecommunication and tourism. It has potential to create the maximum number of jobs will be created by the tourism industry in the next twenty-five year. There has been rate race among the developed and developing countries to expand tourism indiscriminately, which has resulted into severe cultural and ecological damages to the host country. Development does not mean increase in GNP and GDP alone but it must add to prosperity and happiness. An important feature of the tourism industry is its contribution to the national integration and creation of harmonious social and cultural environment. It also encourages respect for and preservation of monuments and heritage properties. WTO and UNEP are spearing on efforts to create such a happy scenario. By 2020, tourism is poised to be the single most important influence on global trade and commerce.

  • Chapter Iv the Religious Landscape
    CHAPTER IV THE RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE CHAPTER - IV THE RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE 1) INTRODUCTION; One concern of the geography of religions is how the land provides a record of religious systems, their associated institutions, and the patterns of religiously conditioned behaviour. A fairly full inventory has been made of the more conspicuous landscape features associated with historic and contemporary religious systems, but there have been few attempts 1 to assess the intensity of religious impress on the land . The form and the density of sacred structure, use of the land in cemeteries and spatial assemblage of plants, trees and animals for religious purpose are among effects on the land of the 2 formally prescriptive traditional aspects of religious systems . Data about religious fidelity are mostly qualitative and 3 impressionistic, often providing only superficial indices . 2) RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE; Some examples of the religious transformation of landscape will be discussed here focussing on the differences among religious systems. The qualitative and quantitative data can be use^to estimate the patterns of religious adherance in Maharashtra State. On the basis of this, one can consider two adherent religious landscapes in the study area. -63- (A) Tribal Religious landscape and (B) Quasi-Universalizing Religious Landscape. A) TRIBAL RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE: As per the census of India 1971/ the tribal population was 2,954,249 souls which contributed 5.9 per cent of the total population of Maharashtra. Out of this total 63.12 per cent was found only in 26 tahsils of the State (Refer Fig. No. 4,1). These tahsils are characterised by hilly terrain, forest and lack of communication facilities.

Although it is a purely American literary concept which was informed by Romanticism from Europe, its tenets can be applied to other literatures across the world. This study seeks to explore transcendentalism in American and Indian poetry with emphasis on some selected poems of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Pawar Pramod Ambadasrao. Nature, religion and independence are the key transcendentalist’s tenets examined in this study.

Romanticism ushered a new source of knowledge that seemed to debunk the emphasis on reason, science and logic that characterized the Age of Enlightenment.
