  • Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalaya
    Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya By Aghaghia Rahimzadeh A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Louise P. Fortmann, Chair Professor Nancy Lee Peluso Professor Isha Ray Professor Carolyn Finney Spring 2016 Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya Copyright © 2016 By Aghaghia Rahimzadeh Abstract Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya by Aghaghia Rahimzadeh Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Louise P. Fortmann, Chair This dissertation investigates the transformation of the district of Kinnaur in the state of Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalaya. I examine Kinnauri adaptation to political, economic, environmental, and social events of the last seven decades, including state intervention, market integration, and climate change. Broadly, I examine drivers of change in Kinnaur, and the implications of these changes on social, cultural, political, and environmental dynamics of the district. Based on findings from 11 months of ethnographic field work, I argue that Kinnaur’s transformation and current economic prosperity have been chiefly induced by outside forces, creating a temporary landscape of opportunity. State-led interventions including land reform and a push to supplement subsistence agriculture with commercial horticulture initiated a significant agrarian transition beginning with India’s Independence. I provide detailed examination of the Nautor Land Rules of 1968 and the 1972 Himachel Pradesh Ceiling of Land Holding Act, and their repercussion on land allocation to landless Kinnauris.

  • History : Project Deepak
    HISTORY : PROJECT DEEPAK 1. Raising & Early History. Project Deepak was raised in May 1961 with Col S N Punjh as Chief Engineer, primarily for the construction of Hindustan-Tibet (H-T) Road. The H-T Road is one of the most difficult roads ever to have been constructed in India. The 76 Km long Pooh-Kaurik sector of H-T Road passes through considerable lengths of sheer vertical hard rock stretches and huge bouldery strata embedded in sand and non-cohesive material, which is inherently unstable. The sector runs along the River Satluj crossing it at several locations. The road runs at altitudes between 1600 to 3600 meters. On the whole, the terrain and climatic conditions are very uncongenial. Many valuable lives were lost during the construction of this road. Thus, this work is a testimony to the sheer grit, determination and perseverance shown by PROJECT DEEPAK right from its early days. The subsequent major events in the history of Project Deepak include:- (a) In 1965, construction of the 122 Km long Road Dhami-Basantpur-Kiongal and 107 Km long stretch of Road Keylong-Sarchu (part of the Manali-Leh road) was entrusted to PROJECT DEEPAK. (b) In December 1966, following disbandment of Project Chetak, all roads of Uttaranchal were taken over by PROJECT DEEPAK. Thus, the 300 Km long Road Rishikesh –Joshimath-Mana, 63 Km long road Road Joshimath-Malari and 260 Km long Road Tanakpur-Askote-Tawaghat came under PROJECT DEEPAK. (c) The early seventies saw Project Deepak spreading its light (Deepak Jyoti) in the states of Rajasthan and even Punjab.

  • Chapter-Iv Works Expenditure Section
    Appendices CHAPTER-IV WORKS EXPENDITURE SECTION - A - REVIEW Public Works Department 4.1 Review of Public Works Department and manpower management Highlights Against the all India average density of more than 80 kms/100 sq km area, the State Government could achieve road density of 40.66 km/100 sq km area as of February 2002. Out of 22,634 kms long roads constructed, 11,286 kms long roads could be used during fair weather only. Roads were constructed without obtaining technical sanction and there were huge excesses over the norms fixed for repairs and maintenance of roads. A number of road works remained incomplete due to various reasons resulting in idle investment and denial of intended benefits to the beneficiaries. Effective monitoring of execution of the roads had not been done. Important points noticed as a result of test-check of records are as under: • Budget estimates were not prepared on realistic basis. Persistent excesses occurred in revenue section during 1999-2002, which contributed to revenue deficit of the State Government. (Paragraph 4.1.4 (a)) • Due to non-release of Rs 35 lakh for payment of compensation to 1,397 daily waged workers declared surplus in June 2000 in Dharampur Division, the workers could not be retrenched and wages of Rs 5.02 crore had to be paid to them. (Paragraph 4.1.5 (c) (iv) (c)) • Out of 952 road works taken up for construction by 17 divisions upto March 2002, 644 works remained incomplete after incurring an expenditure of Rs 83.45 crore. Cost overrun of Rs 3.47 crore in case of 24 completed works and Rs 29.59 crore in case of 157 works in progress respectively occurred.
