Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) tanks in rural schools are the only low-cost alternative.” -A barefoot architect DRINKING WATER All villages in Rajasthan face acute security drinking water the during summer months every year. Women have to walk for far more distances every year to fetch water. Children, men, women and animals all need them. All existing and available drinking water sources in villages are exhausted during 6 months in a year and if there is very little rainfall the ensuing 6 month poses a far worse scenario. Barefoot Architects have during 2008-2009 constructed 20 RWH tanks in 3 districts of Rajasthan including Ajmer, Nagaur and Barmer. The tanks have a total capacity of collecting 700,000 litres of rain water annually. Before the actual construction of the RWH tanks take place, a series of village level meetings are organised after which Village Water Communities (VWCs) are formed. Joint bank accounts are opened in the name of VWCs and 2 of its members including 1 woman member operate the joint accounts. 1. VILLAGE LEVEL MEETINGS, TRAINING CAMPS AND WORKSHOPS During 2008-2009, thirty training camps and workshops were organised each of a duration of 1 day wherein community members and field staff were trained in maintaining simple financial books of accounts. More than 1275 person had participated in the meetings, training camps and workshops. 2. SOCIAL AUDIT MEETINGS OF THE RWH TANKS Once RWH tanks are completed, the entire rural community along with VWC members participate in social audit meetings wherein all documents related to construction of the tanks until completion is displayed for public scrutiny. The documents are also accessible at BC. The RWH tanks are formally handed over to the community after the construction and VWC members are responsible for its future maintenance as well as upkeep. 720 persons from 19 villages had participated in social audit meetings organised during the year. More than 5250 men, women and children are able to access drinking water all through the year in 19 villages of Ajmer, Nagaur and Barmer districts of Rajasthan. NEER JAAL Between January 2008 to March 2009, samples and data were collected from all existing water sources in 32 panchayats and 39 villages of Dudu and Silora block respectively. A workshop was jointly organised by Digital Empowerment Foundation (DEF) New Delhi and Barefoot College on 29th – 30th January 2009. All participants discussed the progress and status of Neer Jaal – a web – based water portal at the workshop which was attended 40 persons including representatives from DEF as well as Programme In – charges, Co-ordinators and senior staff of BC. - 2 - “Never in my whole life time have 1 taken home Rs 1500 as fortnights’ wages as I did this year.” -A wage labourer in a work site DISEMMINATION OF NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT (NREGA) 2005 One of the latest community – managed initiative of BC has been dissemination of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005 through training camps and workshops.

Conceptually the initiative draws its experience of training Women Barefoot Solar Engineers since 1986. Dental Hygiene is an area of health concern that necessitates attention as rural communities have no access to information regarding preventive measures in dental care especially women and children. During the 2008-2009, a Dental Unit equipped with a Dental Chair has been established and 2 rural women are being trained in basic dental care. An Italian team of 2 dentists including a lady dentist began the initial process together with another lady dentist from nearby town Kishangarh. Two women were selected and have begun their training. Children attending BC’s pre-school education centres and night schools as well as women from nearby villages around Tilonia have during this year undergone regular dental check-ups.

    INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH JOURNAL OF COMMERCE, ARTS AND SCIENCE ISSN 2319 – 9202 An Internationally Indexed Peer Reviewed & Refereed Journal Shri Param Hans Education & Research Foundation Trust WWW.CASIRJ.COM www.SPHERT.org Published by iSaRa Solutions CASIRJ Volume 6 Issue 3 [Year - 2015] ISSN 2319 – 9202 Application of central place model in the Kishangarh city of Ajmer district of Rajasthan Gulzar Bin Rehman Research Scholar, Centre for the study of Regional Development, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India Abstract: From the study of basic parameters of the application of central place theory in Kishangarh, the results have shown any interesting picture. One thing has been cleared that central place is not fully applicable in the study area.Though at India level it is applicable in terms of seven administrative hierarchy of settlement. However, in case of Kishangarh, it rarely follows this pattern. Higher and lower order settlements are there, but the spacing between them is contradictory. Kishangarh is first order settlements in the study area and Tibba falls in the Second order hierarchy while, Dadwindi, Nasirpur, Dalla, Depewal, Jabbowal, Shahwala idresa, Kabirpur, Suja kalia, Saidjour, Kalubhatia are in the third order of the central place hierarchy and all others are in Fouth & Fifth order of the hierarchy of central places. The analysis shows that the central places forming are not equally distributed in the study area. The first order settlements are very close to each other & are located in the central part of the area while in other areas there is no presence of first order. However, the basic assumptions of Christaller like homogeneous place or isotropic plain is absent there due to rugged topography and consumer don’t have the same income, and they are not rational.

  • Fairs & Festivals, Part VII-B, Vol-XIV, Rajasthan
    PRG. 172 B (N) 1,000 CENSUS OF INDIA 1961 VOLUME XIV .RAJASTHAN PART VII-B FAIRS & FESTIVALS c. S. GUPTA OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE Superintendent of Census Operations, Rajasthan 1966 PREFACE Men are by their nature fond of festivals and as social beings they are also fond of congregating, gathe­ ring together and celebrating occasions jointly. Festivals thus culminate in fairs. Some fairs and festivals are mythological and are based on ancient traditional stories of gods and goddesses while others commemorate the memories of some illustrious pers<?ns of distinguished bravery or. persons with super-human powers who are now reverenced and idealised and who are mentioned in the folk lore, heroic verses, where their exploits are celebrated and in devotional songs sung in their praise. Fairs and festivals have always. been important parts of our social fabric and culture. While the orthodox celebrates all or most of them the common man usually cares only for the important ones. In the pages that follow an attempt is made to present notes on some selected fairs and festivals which are particularly of local importance and are characteristically Rajasthani in their character and content. Some matter which forms the appendices to this book will be found interesting. Lt. Col. Tod's fascinating account of the festivals of Mewar will take the reader to some one hundred fifty years ago. Reproductions of material printed in the old Gazetteers from time to time give an idea about the celebrations of various fairs and festivals in the erstwhile princely States. Sarva Sbri G.
