The rural population of India is growing rapidly and exerting considerable pressure on rural services. It is evident that rural infrastructure has been unable to keep pace with the growing population. A great challenge for Indian villages is to make villages livable by providing every citizen with basic services of acceptable quality. Rural water infrastructure typically includes water collection and storage facilities at source sites, water transport via aqueducts (canals, tunnels and/or pipelines) from source sites to water treatment facilities; water treatment, storage and distribution systems; wastewater collection (sewage) systems and treatment; and rural drainage. In order to understand what needs to be done to improve the provision of basic services, we need to know the level of provision of these services. It is for this reason I commission a study to assess the Status of Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Programme under Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission in District Varanasi.Keywords

Seismic microzonation studies in Delhi have been carried out solely on the strength of the geotechnical data available with the Geological Survey of India. The main derivative products of the exercise include the shear wave velocity and predominant frequency maps on 1,50,000 scale. These maps are based on the N value data of subsurface soil columns, mostly down to a depth of 30 m, as observed at 121 Bore-Hole sites, in addition to the depth to bedrock, and other geological and geomorphological information.The different ground response parameters, e g shear wave velocity and predominant frequency have been estimated by using empirical relationships developed elsewhere, especially m California, USA Although the tenacity of the qualitative/ semi quantitative results is yet to be affirmed, the maps, by and large conform to the effects of the past near and far events, such as the 1905 Kangra, 1960 Delhi and 1999 Chamoli earthquakes.
The amplification of the ground motion being the inverse function of impedance contrast between the underlying hard rock and the overlying soft sediments in Delhi, where the underlying rock is represented by quartzite, practically, the relative values of shear wave velocity of the soft sediments indicate the likely amplification - the low velocity promoting higher amplification A maximum ground motion amplification of 12 5 times and a minimum of 5 times, when assuming the damping as zero, has been estimated However, the actual amplifications are bound to be less because the soil does dampen the ground motions The predominant frequency map prepared on the assumption of simplified subsurface configuration, provides a generalized picture of the range of frequencies expected to get amplified -the amplification governed by the shear wave velocity of the soil cover there.

Signatures of active tectonics have been observed in the eastern part of Doon valley in proximity to a lineament (fault?) cutting across the Himalayan grain. A normal fault has been observed over the Doon sediments represented by a sequence of silty clay, gravel and clay exposed in a quarry section. The fault displaces the litho sequence with a vertical throw of 1 5 m. This suggests tectonic movement along the fault during Quaternary period.Keywords

Various concentration of nitrogen source, e.g. peptone, few carbon, viz., maltose and lactose and inorganic chemicals, viz., MgSO4 and FeSO4 (0.5 to 1.0) were screened to determine the most suitable concentration for better yield of Pleurotus sajor-caju, It was found that all the carbon source and inorganic chemicals gave maximum yield and biological efficiency in 0.5 per cent concentration. On that basis maltose and MgSO4 were proved superior carbon source and inorganic chemical, respectively. Peptone, the semisolid protein as nitrogen source gave maximum yield and biological efficiency in 0.5 per cent concentration.Keywords
