Nummary of Perspective Plan 3. lerspective Work Plan 2000-2007 PART - 1 Brief Profile of District Sangrur Location Sangrur is one of the southern district of the State of Punjab and forms par of Patiala Division. It lies between north latitude 29^-44’ and 30°-42’ and eas: longitude 75^-18’ and 76^-13’. It is bounded by Ludhiana in the north, Pandkort in the north west, Bathinda in the west, Mansa in the South West and Jind district of Haryana State in the south. Origin of Name The district takes its name from the headquarters town of Sangrur which i> said to have been founded by one Sanghu Jat, some four hundred years ago. Earlier Sangrur town was part of Jind State with headquarters at Jind town. Latsr the headquarters were shifted to Sangrur town in the first quarter of the hst century by Raja Sangat Singh due to its proximity to Patiala and Nabha States. Area The area of the district is 5020 sq. km. The district ranks 3rd in area in tie State next to Ferozepur and Amritsar district (Annexure-I). Climate The climate of the district is on the whole dry and is characterized by a short monsoon, a hot summer and a bracing winter. The year may be divided into four seasons. The cold season from November to March is followed by the lot season lasting up to end of June. The period from July to mid-September constitutes the rainy season of south-west monsoon. The second half of September and October may be termed as the post-monsoon or transition period. Temperature starts rising from middle of February but from about the beginning of March increases rapidly till June, which is generally the hottest nonth. The heat is intense in summer. On individual days, the day temperature nay occasionally touch 47^ C or 48^C Scorching dust laden winds which blow curing the hot season render the weather very trying. With the onset of nonsoon by the end of June or beginning of July there is a drop in the day tmperatures but nights continue to be as warm as in June. Due to increased tumidity, the weather is oppressive in between the rains. At the end of rainy reason or by the middle of September, there is a decrease in temperature, the drop in the night temperatures being more rapid. After October, both day and light temperatures decrease rapidly. January is usually the coldest month. In vinter, particularly in January and February, cold waves due to western disturbances affect the district and the minimum temperature occasionally drqDS down below the freezing point of water. On such occasions frosts are likely to occur in the district. The rainfall in the district increases from south-west towards the north-east. About 73percent of rainfall is experienced in the months of July to September, July being the wettest month. There is some rain, mostly in the fom of thunder showers during the pre-monsoon month of June. Some rain is als) received with passing western disturbances, during winter. During 2000-01, the district reported an average rainfall of 202.0mm (Annexure-I). Topography Sangrur district is endowed with a nearly level surface. The occurrence of jand dune features in some parts only breaks the monotony of the landscape. In general, the district forms part of the Punjab plain, the surface of which has been formed by the depositional work of major streams traversing through this region. Very largely, its topography is that of an alluvial plain, marked by flaiiess and feature-lessness. The district slopes from north-east to south-west. It slopes with a gentle gradient of over a foot per kilometer. Broadly speaking the district can be divided into following ph/siographic tracts: a) Upland plain with occasional occurrence of sand dunes Barring a narrow belt of low lying land along the Ghaggar river which traverses through the southernmost part of the district the whole district is an up and plain which covers more than 95 percent of the area of the district. It slcpes at a gentle gradient of over a foot a kilometer from north-east to soith-west. This tract is covered with old alluvium and is generally marked by flatness and smoothness with a sprinkling of sand dunes, of course in a varying degree. The sand dunes find relative concentration in the tract adjoining Bcthinda district while there is sparse distribution of these in the tract adjoining Patiala district. On the basis of the sand dunes, the plain may be sub-divided imo two zones: 1. Zone with relative concentration of sand dunes-this covers about 75 percent area of the upland plain, the boundary of this zone roughly coinciding with 790 feet contour line, traditionally called the ‘ jungle’ 2. Zone with only sparse distribution of sand dunes-this zone is predominantly level with only occasional occurrence of sand dunes adjoining the first zone, the boundary of this zone coinciding with traditionally known as ‘puadh’. b) Flood plain of the Ghaggar The Flood plain of the Ghaggar is a low lying area along the banks of th^ river which traverses through the southernmost part of the district. This is relatively narrow flood plain, its width generally remaining well within about 5 kilometers. Previously When there were no checks on the floods, the whole of the low lying tract was victim of the floods during the rainy season. The construction of the embankments has reduced the menace of floods. The old flocd plain has since been brought under cultivation. The flood plain is chaacterized by a variety of features, including depressions and pools of water whi:h are present here and there. Risers and Drains Most of the area of the district is without any trace of major water chainel. It is drained by only two seasonal streams, 1. Ghaggar river and 2.5irhind choe. A brief description of these two is given below: Gtaggar River In Sanskrit literature River Ghaggar has been identified with ‘lost Sacwati’ to which Satluj and Yamuna rivers formed tributaries.
