Development Profile Himachal Pradesh DEVELOPMENT PROFILE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH NIEPA DC U03540 Issued by : Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Himachal Pradesh, Shimla. Systems Unrt, , f*;, EdiicAt!Oini«l Aiva'-'-'— u T. -nti', i j ’tv l \ i iOOM H ^ PREFACE The Himalayan re^on, traditionally an abode of Gods, has been nestling in its laps the great centres of meditation, learning and research from the heydays of Indian golden age. But for centuries before the Himachal Pradesh came into being it had seen dire neglect and deep frustration. At the time of its formation some of the hill resorts were connected with rail/roads and these were provided with amenities like electricity, water supply, drainage etc. but the hills in general remained in a state of squalor. The backlog of underdevelopment had piled up with the passage of time and hill areas were considered as source of supply of cheap unskilled labourers and mute domestic servants. Thus the hills were plague spots in the country so far as development was considered. 2. For the proper socio-economic development of the area it was essential to first develop its road and communication network so that the breeze of independence could invigorate the economy out of its chronic lethargy. The thirty three years of planned efforts and untiring devotion of the sei-vants of the people has now given the state a modicum of pride by placing it fifth amongst the States of India. But the economy continues to be mostly agro-pastoral and we are now poised for a take off to reap the benefits of all the labour, sweat and toil. On the eve of 7th Plan this is the time for consolidation of past achievements and to look forward to a speedy course of progress with modernisation. This profile for the development of Himachal Pradesh has been prepared in the Directorate of Economics and Statistics by keeping in view these aspects. 3. The Directorate of Economics and Statistics was set up in 1955-56 and from the beginning it is engaged in the promotion of research and investigation of the socio-economic fields and dissemination of economic intelUgence for providing guidehnes and furnishing data required for planning and policy formulation. With the growing realisation of necessity for miCTO-level economic development the Directorate is bound to play a dominant role in the future also. 4. For the preparation of the publication 1 owe a debt of gratitude to all contributors of different articles without whose co-operation this publication would not have seen the light of the day. Beside some of the departments concerned, most of the photographs have been obtained from the Director of Public Relations H. P. for which I_ am sincerely thankful. I would also like to place on record my deep appreciation of the work done by the Deputy Director of Economics and Statistics and other dedicated officers and staff in planning, editing and bringing out this publication. 5. As the articles are contributions from the individuals the views expressed therein may not necessarily be taken as those of the State Govt. I would consider the labour in bringing out this publication as amply rewarded if this is able to stimulate in the readers a sense of involvement in the needs and aspirations of the people of the Pradesh.

The monitoring commenced in the year 1969 with the establishment of 3 observation wells and since, then the number of monitoring station are being increased regularly so as to get the overall picture of ground water scenario in different hydrogeological set up of the state. Most of the area in Himachal Pradesh is hilly enclosing few small intermontane valleys. The traditional ground water structures under observation at present are dugwells and are mostly located in the valley areas only. Therefore, the ground water regime monitoring programme is concentrated mainly in valley areas of the state and some places in hard rock areas. All the 128 National Hydrograph Stations are located only in 7 districts out of the 12 districts in Himachal Pradesh. The reason being hilly terrain, hard approachability and insignificant number of structures available for monitoring. The average annual rainfall in the state varies from 600 mm to more than 2400 mm. The rainfall increases from south to north.
