Its potential proper utilization and management and role in development is a matter of utmost concern to its people. Improper use of land has created so many problems like land degradation wastage decline in productivity and encroachment on arable land in the world. Therefore utilization and management of agriculture and other land resources according to its capability and resource region is very much necessary because it ensures that land resource is utilized to the best advantage in an enduring manner. This ultimately improves the levels of development. So it is believed that land resource shows a reciprocal relationship between the prevailing ecological conditions and man in a particular region. There is a need to understand the land resource particularly agriculture keeping in view the maintenance of ecological balance and its role in development. Because all the hilly regions of the Himalayan system are facing the problems related to above mentioned aspects Alaknanda basin of Uttaranchal from Central Himalaya has been selected for in depth study. The present study is an attempt to find out the use and management of land resource agricultural land use pattern impediments land capability levels of development and relationship between agricultural land resource potential and levels of development in Alaknanda basin. The study is based on primary and secondary data. The book is endowed with academic orientation scientific approach management and planning views. It is highly helpful to geographer land use planners research scholars environmentalists geo scientist and progressive farmers and people having interest in sustainable development of mountains. 423 pp.

Environmental geo hazards are of upmost concern today as there is huge loss to life and property. The concern varies from individual to the state government. Government has set up many scientific department has set up many scientific departments to carry out research and development programmes on geo hazards. Teh findings of scientific studies have been helpful in mitigating the impact of geo hazards. The most disastrous impact has been of the earthquakes. Although they occur rarely but their teacher and time of occurrence is not known. It is one of the most challenging job to the scientific community. Therefore the focus is on post management strategy. Along with natural factors human beings are responsible for triggering landslides. Unscientific and haphazardous development in Himalayas have been the root cause of disastrous landslides. Flashfloods are becoming very common phenomena in Himalayas due to heavy rainfalled cloudburst. Many efforts.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. The present book deals with impact of migration in mountain with particular reference to Uttarakhand Mountain which is popularly known as abode of resources. However, in spite of resource abundance, the people of Uttarakhand Mountain region are still economically weak. Agriculture and allied activities being the main occupations engages nearly 80 percent of the total workforce. Agriculture is unable to fulfil the needs of people as it is subsistence in nature and its productivity is also low. The region is also lagging in secondary, tertiary and quaternary activities. Therefore, poor economic conditions of the region force the people to migrate outside the area in search of jobs for better livelihoods and standard of living. They mostly join the military, para military services or settle down mainly in urban centres of North India. The outmigration mainly of youth male has become a common phenomenon since 1900 A.D. With the passage of time, outmigration process has brought numerous changes in socio-economic conditions of the region such as changes in cropping pattern, improved literacy rate, social status and standard of living but notable is the increased workload on women in the absence of male members of the family. Since last few year returned/reverse migrations has also brought many changes. This book is a humble attempt to examine the characteristics of out-migrants and respondents and the impact of out-migration on agricultural land use pattern in Pauri Garhwal district during 1986-87 and in Lachi Gad of Pauri Garhwal during 2015-16 and 2019; characteristics of returned/reverse migrants and active outmigrants in 2020-21; and return/reverse migration during COVID-19. The area is a promising one with serene ambience. The only coordination that is needed to activate is between the authorities and the stakeholders. If this can be channelized the mountain of Uttarakhand can become economically self-sustained and would regulate outmigration too. Another dimension is that if the outmigrants visit the area regularly and keep a continuous link with the native area and many of them return back to native area then it is not that harmful a process. Infact their continuing efforts of sharing knowledge about latest skills and development would boost the economy of the region insitu. They should be in connection with their roots and become instrumental in its holistic development.
