  • Social Screening & Me Framework
    Himachal Pradesh State Road Project Feasibility Report Social Screening & ME Framework CHAPTER 11 – SOCIAL SCREENING & ME FRAMEWORK 11.1 NEED FOR SOCIAL SCREENING The Himachal Pradesh State Road Project primarily envisages improvement and rehabilitation of State Highway, Major District Roads of the state. The improvement works will consist mainly in raising the formation level, upgrading/improvement of road geometrics, widening, road stretches crossing urban areas may also require upgrading to a two-lane cross section, and/or provision for drains, sidewalks and parking where required. In some cases, new alignments (by- passes) and/or re-alignments may also be required. Improvement and rehabilitation work would entail land acquisition, adverse impact on structures, other assets and sources of earning, religious properties, impact on common properties such as bus stops, hand pumps, etc. The Government of India, the World Bank and the Government of Himachal Pradesh recognizes the need for addressing social issues at very beginning stage of any development project for minimizing adverse impacts and maximizing the benefits through equitable distribution. 11.2 CRITERIA FOR SOCIAL SCREENING Social screening of roads has been undertaken keeping in view the following parameters: (a) presence of number of residential, commercial and residential cum commercial properties within the direct impact zone (b) Existence of religious properties in project impact zone (c) likely Impact on public services (d) likely impact on public utilities (e) average land holding size (f) percentage of SC population (g) percentage of ST population. Under each parameter, relevant indicators have been identified for the screening purpose to arrive at a more meaningful screening result that would help in rational planning and selection of road.

  • Palaeogene Palynostratigraphy of Simla Hills
    The Palaeobofanist, 28·29: 389-401, 1981. PALAEOGENE PALYNOSTRATIGRAPHY OF SIMLA HILLS H. P. SINGH Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, 53, University Road, Lucknow-226007, India ABSTRACT The Palaeogene succession of Simla Hills consists of Subathu, Dagshai and Kasauli formations in ascending order of stratigraphy. The palynostratigraphical information developed from the marine sequence of Subathu sediments throws light on the dating potential of the assemblages and also on the distributional pattern of various palyno• morphs. Dependable palynological parameters in effecting correlation of various sections of the formation have been discussed. Reflections on the palynological spectra across the Subathu-Dagshai boundary and in the Kasauli Formation have been made.

  • 1 Do Not Reproduce This Article in Part Or Full Without Written Permission of Author How the British Divided Punjab Into Hindu
    How the British divided Punjab into Hindu and Sikh By Sanjeev Nayyar December 2016 This is chapter 2 from the E book on Khalistan Movement published by www.swarajyamag.com During a 2012 visit to Naina Devi Temple in Himachal Pradesh, about an hour's drive from Anandpur Sahib, I wondered why so many Sikhs come to the temple for darshan. The answer lies in the events of 1699. In the Chandi Charitra, the tenth Guru says that in the past god had deputed Goddess Durga to destroy evil doers. That duty was now assigned to him hence he wanted her blessings. So he invited Pandit Kesho from Kashi to conduct the ceremony at the hill of Naina Devi. The ceremony started on Durga Ashtami day, in the autumn of October 1698, and lasted for six months. At the end of this period, the sacred spring Navratras began on 21 March 1699. Then, “When all the ghee and incense had been burnt and the goddess had yet not appeared, the Guru came forward with a naked sword and, flashing it before the assembly declared: ‘This is the goddess of power!” This took place on 28 March 1699, the Durga Ashtami day. The congregation was then asked to move to Anandpur, where on New Year Day of 1st Baisakh, 1699, the Guru would create a new nation.” 3 On 30 March 1699, at Anandpur, Govind Singhji gave a stirring speech to the assembly about the need to protect their spiritual and temporal rights. He then asked if anyone would offer his head in the services of God, Truth and Religion.

  • Trout & Carp Fish Farms in Himachal Pradesh an Assessment Report
    Trout & Carp Fish farms in Himachal Pradesh An Assessment Report Preamble: Fish farms are the foundation stones of Fisheries development in Inland Fisheries Sector. The seed produced at these seed production centres is either used for replenishing the harvested fish stock of open waters i.e. rivers or reservoirs or is further reared under semi-controlled conditions in growing ponds and sold for table purposes. Our state is one of the state amongst a few in the Union of India which has been gifted by the mother nature with the rivers emanating from glaciers, which traverse through hilly terrains and finally enrich the semi-plain and plain areas of the state adjoining Punjab and Haryana. Himachal Pradesh has approximately 3000 kms of riverine length and four reservoirs namely Gobind sagar, Maharana Partap sagar, Pandoh and Chamera constructed on Satluj, Beas, and Ravi rivers respectively. The upper zones of rivers inhabit indigenous Schizothoracids, and exotic salmonids (trout) while the zones interspersing the semi-plain and plain areas are the abodes of Himalayan tiger- the mighty mahseer, Indian Major Carps and the much sought after catfishes such as Singhara (Mystus seenghala) Malhee (Wallago attu) and Soal (Channa species). Keeping in view the variegated nature of water resources the Government of Himachal Pradesh through its department of Fisheries has setup two types of fish seed farms- Coldwater or Trout fish seed farms and warm water or Carp seed farms. The mandate of these farms till recently was to produce the seed of trout and carps and stock it in rivers and reservoirs with an aim of replenishing the harvested stocks from these water bodies.
