Abstract

After the dawn of Green Revolution India became self sufficient in producing food grains and also increased its productivity; but at present the Country is facing internal food security issues. Regarding these facts the aim of the present paper is to geographically analyze the present food security conditions of Chhattisgarh state. In the present study for the determination of food security firstly the consumption unit for each district is calculated and then for the second step the food availability in monetary value is derived. In the third and final stage the per capita per hectare net food availability in monetary value is determined and based on that the state is categorized into food security zones. The food security zones are classified through the Quartile method, thus four zones of secure, moderately secure, insecure and very insecure food security are obtained.

Abstract

Resource planning is the most important and primary factor for carrying out developmental work in any country. This is particularly more imperative for our country where majority of the population live in villages. Raikholi village of district Almora, Uttarakhand should be drawn for micro level analysis. Now days, remote sensing and GIS are providing now tools for perfect planning and advanced ecosystem management. This paper examines the ease of remote sensing and GIS in mapping land cover of Raikholi village for the year 2001 and 2010 in Almora district of Uttarakhand. So with the help of Google imageries, elevation data of SRTM, Census of India 2001 data and field survey we acquire various data and through GIS software we prepare resource map to do perfect planning of this area. In short, this process helps in the development of village information science for resource planning.
