Eco restoration efforts

River is completely invisible in summer sessions

The plan is to undertake Eco-restoration efforts across the drainage areas, in partnership with resident communities, in a phased manner over the next few years.

 
The development of Self Help Groups of women in this area has led to the creation of a dynamic basin-level federation or Manch which have effective dialogue with other stakeholders creating a multi-stakeholder platform.  Following a meeting of several hundred residents, the Manch is committed to the renewal of the hydrological cycle through the promotion of community forestry/water conservation initiatives, appropriate technology and livelihood programs.

Dipawali Celebration in Uttrakhand

उत्तराखंड में दीपावली उत्सव

उत्तराखंड में दीपावली उत्सव आने से पूर्व कई महीने पहले से इस पर्व कि तेयंरियां  में जुट जाते हैं | सभी लोगो में एक अलग सा उत्साह देखने को मिलता है |

बहुत साल पहले हम लोग अपने गांवों में दीपावली उत्सव अपनी प्राचीन परम्परा के अनुसार बनाते थे | उस समय हम धान के भूसी को मिट्टी तेल के सांथ मिश्रण बना कर घरों के आँगन एवं दीवारो में इसके दीये बनाके जलाया करते थे | अड़ोस पड़ोस और रिश्तेदारों में खिल ,बतासे, खिलौने आदि बांटते थे और आपस में गले मिलते थे |

दीपावली का उत्सव पुरे १२ दिन एवं रात तक अपने अपने नियम अनुसार त्यौहार एवं खाना होता था जिसमे बेडू लघेड़ , बड़, खीर , सूजी, एयं घी , दही आदि को घर पे बनाते और खाते थे |

लेकिन आज का दिवाली उत्सव धान भूसी युक्त नहीं है | लेकिन क्यों ?

क्योंकि आज गांवों में बिजली के लाइट प्रज्वलित हो रहे हैं और बम , फाटकों  का भी जोर शोर से इस्तिमाल  हो रहा है | अब हमें वो पुरानी दिवाली देखने को नहीं मिलती क्योंकि अब गांवों में लोगो के बीच वो भाईचारा नहीं रहा जो कि सही नहीं है |

सभी को में आंखिर में कहना चाहूंगा कि सभी अपनी पुरानी परम्परा और नए तरीकों को सांथ लेके इस पर्व को मनाएं | और आंखिर में मेरी ओर से सभी को दिवाली कि बहूत बहूत शुभकामनाएं|

Ramganga River originates from Doodhatoli ranges in the district of Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand state of India. The Ramganga River flows to south west from Kumaun Himalaya.It is a tributary of the river Ganges, originates from the high altitude zone of 800m-900m. Ramganga flows by the Corbett National Park near Ramnagar of Nainital district from where it descends upon the plains.

Bhikiyasen is a very old Market and had its history from the times of RAJA HARU SINGH HEET popularly known as Rajaju. Everything is available in this market and also now there is a Hospital, Bank and ATM facilitie too. 

BUT ONE STRANGE THING I FOUND DURING MY RECENT VISIT THAT IN THIS LARGE  WELL CROWDED BUSY MARKET PLACE THERE IS NO "SULABH SAUCHALAYA" FOR GENERAL PUBLIC CONVINIENCE. THERE IS A IMMEDIATE NEED OF A PUBLIC TOILET HERE. PEOPLE HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO LOO IN OPEN AND PUBLIC PLACES WHICH JUST POLLUTING THE SUROUNDINGS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE. SO IT IS REQUEST TO THE HIGHER AUTHORITIES TO LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM AND SOLVE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
