In the Domestic tourism sector, Haryana scored third rank after Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. About 1348.3 lakh domestic tourists visited various tourist places in Uttar Pradesh, 255.6 lakh in Rajasthan, 64.1 lakh in Haryana and 20.4 lakh Delhi in 2009. In the international tourism sector, Haryana had the least number of foreign tourists in the year 2007, 2008 & 2009 as compared to Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. Table 13-2: Number of Tourist Visits and Percentage share in Haryana and its Surrounding States State/Year Domestic Tourists(in lakh) Foreign Tourists(in lakh) 2006 2007 2008 2009 2006 2007 2008 2009 All India 4,623.1 5,265.6 5629.2 6,500.4 117.5 132.7 141.1 137.2 Haryana 60.2 62.5 59.7 64.1 0.7 0.6 0.9 1.4 Delhi 22.4 23.9 21.3 20.4 19.7 20.2 23.4 19.6 Uttar Pradesh 105.5 1,162.4 1,248.4 1,348.3 13.3 15.2 16.1 15.3 Rajasthan 234.8 259.2 283.6 255.6 12.2 14.1 14.8 10.7 Source: India Tourism Statistics 2007, 2008 & 2009, Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. Annual growth rate of tourists in and around Haryana has increased slightly for domestic tourists from 3.82% in year 2006-07 to 7.37% in 2008-09.

  • Bird Species in Delhi-“Birdwatching” Tourism
    Conference Proceedings: 2 nd International Scientific Conference ITEMA 2018 BIRD SPECIES IN DELHI-“BIRDWATCHING” TOURISM Zeba Zarin Ansari 63 Ajay Kumar 64 Anton Vorina 65 https://doi.org/10.31410/itema.2018.161 Abstract : A great poet William Wordsworth once wrote in his poem “The world is too much with us” that we do not have time to relax in woods and to see birds chirping on trees. According to him we are becoming more materialistic and forgetting the real beauty of nature. Birds are counted one of beauties of nature and indeed they are smile giver to human being. When we get tired or bored of something we seek relax to a tranquil place to overcome the tiredness. Different birds come every morning to make our day fresh. But due to drainage system, over population, cutting down of trees and many other disturbances in the metro city like Delhi, lots of species of birds are disappearing rapidly. Thus a conservation and management system need to be required to stop migration and disappearance of birds. With the government initiative and with the help of concerned NGOs and other departments we need to settle to the construction of skyscrapers. As we know bird watching tourism is increasing rapidly in the market, to make this tourism as the fastest outdoor activity in Delhi, the place will have to focus on the conservation and protection of the wetlands and forests, management of groundwater table to make a healthy ecosystem, peaceful habitats and pollution-free environment for birds. Delhi will also have to concentrate on what birdwatchers require, including their safety, infrastructure, accessibility, quality of birdlife and proper guides.

  • 6.1Road Transportation
    Preparation of Sub Regional Plan for Haryana Sub-Region of NCR-2021: Interim Report -II Chapter 6 : TRANSPORTATION 6.1 Road Transportation Since the formation of Haryana state, there has been a significant growth in the road transportation sector of Haryana. As on year 2001, around 23, 000 km of roads connect to villages and cities in Haryana state and with its neighbor states. At present more than 99.88 percentages of villages are connected by metalled roads and road density is around 63.8 km per 100 sq. km area. Length of different types of roads in Haryana State is as follows: National Highways : 1,346 km State Highways : 2,559 km Major District Roads : 1,569 km Other Distt. & village roads : 14,730 km Other roads : 2,852 km Source: Statistical Abstract Haryana, 2006-07 However, economic development in the state is taking place at very higher rate in comparison to other states of India. This is the reason for large density of vehicles on these available roads. As per the information available for the year 2003-2004, about 5763 motor vehicles accommodated within 100 square kilometer of area. Though, the registered number of vehicles as on 31st march 2004 were 25, 47,910, in actual about 28, 53,667 number of motor vehicles traveled on roads of Haryana sate. This shows that a significant percentage of through traffic passes through Haryana state. This large volume of traffic may cause road accidents which results in huge loss of economy and human resources, if proper transportation facilities are not provided.

  • The Age of Akbar
    CHAPTER 3 THE AGE OF AKBAR MUGHAL THEORIES OF KINGSHIP AND STATE POLITY Akbar is generally recognized as the greatest and most capable of the Mughal rulers. Under him Mughal polity and statecraft reached maturity; and under his guidance the Mughals changed from a petty power to a major dynastic state. From his time to the end of the Mughal period, artistic production on both an imperial and sub-imperial level was closely linked to notions of state polity, religion and kingship. Humayun died in 1556, only one year after his return to Hindustan. Upon hearing the call to prayers, he slipped on the steep stone steps of the library in his Din-Panah citadel in Delhi. Humayun's only surviving son and heir- apparent, Akbar, then just fourteen years of age, ascended the throne and ruled until 1605 the expanding Mughal empire. Until about 1561, Akbar was under the control of powerful court factions, first his guardian, Bhairam Khan, and then the scheming Maham Anga, a former imperial wet-nurse. Between about 1560 and 1580, Akbar devoted his energies to the conquest and then the con- solidation of territory in north India. This he achieved through battle, marriage, treaty and, most significantly, administrative reform. Concurrent with these activities, Akbar developed an interest in religion that, while initially a personal concern, ultimately transformed his concept of state. Many of the policies he adopted, such as the renunciation of the poll-tax (jiziya) for non- Muslims, had a solid political basis as well as a personal one, for Akbar, much more than his Mughal predecessors, saw every advantage in maintaining good relations with the Hindu majority.
