(7) MAHARASHTRA A SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE Maharashtra is the third largest state in India, in terms of area (308 sq. km.) and second in terms of population (9,67,52,247 as per the 2001 census). Only Uttar Pradesh has a larger population and Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have larger areas. The state is bounded by the Arabian sea in the west, and shares its boundaries with Gujarat in the north west, Madhya Pradesh to the north, Andhra Pradesh to the south east and Karnataka and Goa in the south. The State of Maharashtra forms a huge irregular triangle with its base on the west coast of India, overlooking the Arabian sea. The coastal strip, about 720 km. long and not more than 80 km. wide, is the Konkan, dotted with paddy fields and coconut groves. The Sahyadris or the Western Ghats running almost parallel to the sea coast, flank the Konkan on the east. To the east of the Sahyadris, stretches a vast plateau, forming the apex of the triangle. The plateau is drained by the great rivers, Godavari, Bhima and Krishna, which rise in the Sahyadris and flow eastward across the Indian peninsula, into the Bay of Bengal. The plateau is extremely fertile and provides excellent crops of cotton, oil seeds and sugarcane. The rainfall in the state varies considerably, the areas west of the Sahyadris like the districts of Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg receive heavy rains. The areas which lie in the rain shadow of the Sahyadris, however, comprise the major portion of the state area and get an average rainfall of around 24-30 inches of rain annually and in some areas, less than 20 inches of rain. These areas include the districts of Nashik, Pune, Ahmednagar, Dhule, Jalgaon, Satara, Sangli, Solapur and parts of Kolhapur. In 2002, the State received 86 per cent of the normal rainfall. Out of the 352 talukas in the State 95 talukas (27%) received above the normal rainfall (i.e. more than 100 per cent of the long- term average, 92 talukas (26.1 per cent received 81 to 100 per cent rainfall, whereas 165 talukas (46.9%) received deficient (less than 80%) rainfall. In these 165 talukas, 57 talukas were from Vidarbha, 53 from Central Maharashtra (Pune and Nashik Division), 28 from Konkan and 27 from Marathwada. Thus the overall picture of the rainfall received this monsoon was not satisfactory and has badly affected agricultural production in the State.
