We show how the historiography of peri-urban areas Rurban acquired negative connotations of poor water and sanitation services while rurban places have come to be Drinking water associated with positive well-disciplined conditions. Previous research on drinking water programs has taken Sanitation two paths, one of which generates rigorous qualitative case studies that criticize neoliberal policies, while the Pune other employs larger scale quantitative methods to advance neoliberal policy reforms. This paper adopts a Maharashtra India hybrid pragmatic approach to visualize strengths and weaknesses of water and sanitation services in urbanizing rural areas of Pune district, Maharashtra. We re-assess demographic definitions of the rural-urban dichotomy in India, distance-based criteria used in Maharashtra, and Census of India water and sanitation data. A combination of field research and GIS mapping identified four main peri-urban patterns in Pune district: (1) megacity fringe; (2) highway corridor development; (3) industrial zones; and (4) block town expansion. We show that while water supply has improved in some rurban areas, sanitation and drainage problems have not kept up. A second pattern of deficiency was observed in transitional towns of 5000 persons. Annually updated water and sanitation datasets at the national and state levels will make this pragmatic combination of GIS mapping and field research approaches valuable for visualizing peri-urban and rurban conditions at the district scale of water governance and planning in India. 1.

Abstract Water is one of the most important compounds in the world. The contamination and pollution of water is of great concern in the world for the developing countries like India. The question of water pollution has acquired a critical stage. Human activities, industries, hospitals, sewage water, agricultural diffused pollution are some of the sources of water pollution. Drinking water quality is one of the important environmental health detriments. Use of safe drinking water is a foundation for the control and prevention of water born diseases. In this work we have analyzed Mula-Mutha river water quality for drinking purpose. Various river water parameters were analyzed and are compared to established standards given by WHO. The river water analysis showed that the river water is not suitable for potable use in city area. Keywords: Mula-Mutha River, Pune City, Physico-chemical analysis, Water pollution INTRODUCTION The entire Pune City is covered by Mula-Mutha rivers. River Mula originates from Mulshi Dam which forms Mulshi Lake. River Mutha originates from Panshet Dam Via Khadakwasla Dam. It also flows through city of Pune and meets to river Mula at Shivajinagar area of Pune city, to that part it called as Sangam Bridge.

  • Chronological Developement of Pune City Chapter II
    Chapter II Chronological Developement of Pune City Chapter II Chronological Developement of Pune City 2.1 Introduction Pune's location was once considered less conducive for urban growth. But now pune, the cultural capital of Maharashtra is rapidly metamorphosing into a commercial hub. This metamorphim has a very long history spannin over 1000 years or more. Pune, which has been hailed as ^'Happening City", has not only survived but it has also prospered continuously during the last 400 years. Up to the mid seventeenth century, Pune was one of the main small garrison town on the plateau of Maharashtra. Within a century, however, this insignificant small town outstripped the older established towns in its respective region and emerged dominant city (Deshpande CD., 1978). In the 19"^ and 20"^ centuries it had undergone significant changes and prospered in various sphers. Referred to as Oxford of East for its educational tradition and Detroit of India for its post independence industrial development, in the 21^' century, Pune is emerging as a '''Cyber City". The growth and development of Pune is quite interesting. It has seen many rise and fall in its long history under different rulers at different periods. The growth phases of Pune have been divided in to five different periods, so that one can understand the richness of its culture and reasons for its success (Parasnis D.B., 1921). Therefore an attempt has been made to study Pune city. 2.2 Urbanization at the Global Level In 2008, humankind achieved a moment's milestone for the first time in history; half of the world's population that is 3.3 billion lived in urban areas.

  • The Contexts and Complexities of Community Participation: Strengthening Village Health, Sanitation, and Nutrition Committees In
    THE CONTEXTS AND COMPLEXITIES OF COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION: STRENGTHENING VILLAGE HEALTH, SANITATION, AND NUTRITION COMMITTEES IN RURAL NORTH INDIA by Kerry Scott A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland February 2016 © 2016 Kerry Scott All Rights Reserved Abstract The Indian government’s Village Health, Sanitation, and Nutrition Committee (VHSNC) program seeks to improve rural access to the fundamental entitlements of public health. Although over 500,000 VHSNCs have been officially formed, they have so far failed to serve as viable local bodies. In 2013, the government introduced guidelines to invigorate VHSNCs. This dissertation examines the contexts that facilitate and hinder VHSNC functionality, and explores the impacts of VHSNCs on marginalized communities and the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that support them. The study draws on longitudinal qualitative research from rural north India. The study found that contextual features at the community, health facility, health administration, and societal level were often at odds with VHSNC functionality. Despite challenges at the community level, inclusive VHSNCs were formed, and the members received training, held monthly meetings, and attempted to improve local public services. However, barriers in the other contextual spheres undermined committee capacity to bring concrete improvements (chapter 5). VHSNCs created some opportunities for participants to re-negotiate power inequalities within the community, particularly around gender. Power inequalities between the communities and outside actors (e.g. government officials) were ii manifest in a “discourse of responsibility,” whereby outsiders sought to assign broad responsibility for improving public services onto VHSNCs. Some community members accepted this discourse and then blamed their peers for failing to take action, entrenching a negative collective identity.

    PREFACE The process of planned economic development in India began with the launching of the First Five Year Plan in 1951 and currently India is in the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-13 to 2016- 2017). The main objective of policy makers is to promote growth with social justice. During the Eleventh Plan period, the agricultural sector experienced a miniscule growth rate of 3.64 per cent per annum. Indian agriculture is presently at cross roads and one of the major challenges is to reverse deceleration in agricultural growth rates so as to successfully achieve a higher broad based growth. In view of the above, a special Additional Central Assistance Scheme -Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojna (RKVY) which is a State Plan scheme administered by the Union Ministry of Agriculture was conceived. The main purpose of the scheme is to supplement state specific strategies with a view to rejuvenate agriculture. The pattern of funding under this scheme is 100 percent Central grant. In order to avail of funds under RKVY, each district is entrusted with the task of preparing a comprehensive district agricultural plan. Accordingly, this plan was prepared for Pune district. The Plan revealed that the city has suitable infrastructure and conducive climate for high value agriculture. Floriculture is also coming up in a big way. Similarly dairy development and poultry have huge potential in the district. As the city is close to Mumbai and well connected by road, rail and air to other major cities there is a ready market available for consumption of agricultural goods, processed goods, dairy and poultry products.
