In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being. -

FULL SECTOR ASSESSMENT: WATER and OTHER URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE and SERVICES A. India Urban Scenario 1. About 377 Million (31%)1 Of
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sector Investment Program (RRP IND 42486) FULL SECTOR ASSESSMENT: WATER AND OTHER URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES A. India Urban Scenario 1. About 377 million (31%)1 of India’s population lives in 7,935 urban areas and contributes 63% of gross domestic product (GDP). About 70% of the urban population resides in 4682 rapidly growing urban agglomerations and cities with a population of over 100,000, including 53 cities with a population of more than a million. Growth in the remaining small towns was nominal. The contribution to GDP from the urban areas is expected to increase to about 75% as the proportion of urban population reaches 40% of the total population by 2030. 2. Urban water supply in India is characterized by intermittent water supply (often for a couple of hours in a week) and low coverage, high nonrevenue water, and poor cost recovery. No city in India can claim for universal coverage with continuous pressurized water supply. The service levels are even lower in small towns, which have been upgraded from village character to a town. These small towns mostly depend on local groundwater sources with no treatment and no planned hydraulic networks. The small town local bodies have been struggling with limited financial resources further aggravated by a lack of competent and skilled human resources capable of delivering services expected from a fully functional water utility. 3. The investment in urban infrastructure3 up to the year 2031 was estimated at $53.5 billion for water supply and $40.5 billion for sewerage services at 2009–10 prices. -
School of Excellence for Tribal Students in the District of Jhabua, India
School of Excellence for Tribal Students in the district of Jhabua, India Background Jhabua District in the state of Madhya Pradesh had the lowest literacy rate (19%) of the entire country in 1991. While ten years later, it had overtaken 15 other districts of a total of more than 600, it still has the lowest literacy (37%) in Madhya Pradesh and of all districts in the three states which Jhabua borders (Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra).1 This may be due to the fact that more than 85% of its chiefly rural population belongs to the Scheduled Tribes of which roughly half live below the poverty line, making it the area with the highest concentration of tribal population in Western India.2 Education could potentially be one of the motors to drive development in Jhabua, which has been among the poorest districts of the country.3 Jhabua has over 1.2 million inhabitants belonging to the tribal community, which in India has the status of a minority with far worse health than the general population.4 The district is remote and rural, and sees regular episodes of drought and infectious disease outbreaks, especially malaria. The Catholic Church is the most successful of developmental agencies in the district given their network of boarding schools and dispensaries throughout the area. There is an unmatched discipline and dedication among teachers and healthcare personal of the Church institutions, which run the only two English-medium schools in the district which have been ranked for many years among the top performing schools. In the spring of 2005, His Grace, Bishop Chacko Thottumarickal of the Catholic Diocese of Jhabua had the vision to start a “School of Excellence”, in which the most talented students from the mission schools were selected through a competitive exam. -
Baseline, Dipstick and Endline Evaluation Study of TRIF-SRLM Pilot in Madhya Pradesh
Baseline, dipstick and endline evaluation study of TRIF-SRLM Pilot in Madhya Pradesh The Transforming Rural India Foundation (TRIF) initiative envisages to transform the lives of the rural communities by collating the forces of multiple stakeholders at different levels for multi- dimensional change. The framework of engagement revolves around the strategy of strengthening the capacities of the poor communities to aspire and to build conditions of ‘behaviour change’ to ensure their irreversible climb. The framework for the initiative stressed on engagement with the government to support civic action and user accountability while at the same time building partnerships with the private sector to create new opportunities and address constraints. The initiative will be implemented in eight blocks of Madhya Pradesh namely, Thandla, Petlawad, Sondwa, Manawar, Bijadandi, Aarpur, Samnapur, and Khategaon to showcase the efficacy of the multi-stakeholder engagement in transforming the lives of the rural communities and to substantiate its capability in making a substantial difference at scale. Before implementation baseline is being conducted in these project areas and matching areas. Sambodhi proposed a quasi-experimental Difference in Difference (DID) design for the study and the DID estimator as an estimate to evaluate the effects of interventions and other treatments of interest on the outcome variable. A draft tool capturing the critical variables related to health, nutrition, immunization, education and livelihoods was developed and piloted. An instruction manual/guide for the tool was prepared for data collection as it was quintessential for ensuring smooth functioning of field operations. The final tool was translated in Hindi after incorporation of pilot findings. -
