INTRODUCTION OF DEHRADUN

Nestled in the mountain ranges of the Himalaya, Dehradun is one of the oldest cities of India and

is recently declared as the Provisional Capital of newly created Uttaranchal (Now Uttarakhand)

State in the month of Nov2000. Also known as the Adobe of Drona, Dehradun has always

been an important center for Garhwal rulers which was captured by the British. The headquarters

of many National Institutes and Organizations like ONGC, Survey Of India, Forest Research

Institute, Indian Institute of Petroleum etc are located in the city. Some of the premier

educational and Training Institutes like Indian Miltary Academy, RIMC(Rashtriya Indian

Military College), Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy(IGNFA), Lal Bahadur Shahstri

National Academy of Administration(LBSNAA)etc are also there in Dehradun. It is a favoured

tourist destination as it attracts tourists, pilgrims and enthusiasts from various walks of life to its

serene environs. Add to this the abundance of special Basmati rice, tea and leechi gardens which

contribute in turning the city into a paradise.

The district is named after its chief city Dehra Dun. Dehra appears to be a corruption of dera

signifying a temporary abode or camp. During the reign of Aurangzeb, Ram Rai, Guru of the

Udasi Sikhs on being ordered by the Mughal king to retire to the wilderness of the Dun, had

pitched his tents here in what is now the Khurbura locality of the town and has also built a

temple near Dhanawala. Around these two sites, grew up the town popularly known as Dehra.

The term dun or doon means the low lands at the foot of a mountain range, and as the bulk of the

district lies in such a terrain, it justified the dun part of the name.

Another derivation of the term dun is stated to be from Dronashram, hermitage of Guru

Dronacharya of Mahabharata fame, who sojourned for a season in the village of Devara, situated

near to Dehra to perform his devotions at a lonely spot.

HISTORY OF DEHRADUN

According to Skanda Purana, Dun formed part of the region called Kedar Khand. It was included

in the kingdom of Ashoka by the end of the 3rd century B.C. It is revealed by history that for

centuries the region formed part of the Garhwal kingdom with some interruption from Rohillas.

For about two decades till 1815 it was under the occupation of the Gorkhas. In April 1815

Gorkhas were ousted from Garhwal region and Garhwal was annexed by the British. In that year

the area now comprising tehsil Dehra Dun was added to district Saharanpur. In 1825, however, it

was transferred to the Kumaon Division. In 1828, Dehra Dun and Jaunsar Bhabar were placed

under the charge of a separate Deputy Commissioner and in 1829, the Dehra Dun district was

transferred from the Kumaon Division to the Meerut Division. In 1842, Dun was attached to

Saharanpur district and placed under an officer subordinate to the Collector of the district but

since 1871 it is being administered as separate district. In 1968 the district was taken out from

Meerut division and included in the Garhwal Division.

LANGUAGES AND RELIGION

Main languages spoken in the district are Hindi, Sindhi, Punjabi, Garhwali and Urdu.

TOPOGRAPHY

Dehra Dun can be divided into two distinct tracts i.e. the montane tract and the sub-montane

tract. The montane tract covers whole Chakrata tehsil of the district and consists entirely of a

succession of mountains and gorges and comprises Jaunsar Bhabar. The mountains are very

rough with steep slopes. The most important features of the tract is the ridge which separates the

drainage are of Tons on the west from that of Yamuna on the east. Below the montane tract

follows the sub-montane tract, which is the famous Dun valley bounded by Shivalik hills in the

south and outer scarp of the Himalayas in the north.

FORESTS

Dehra Dun is distinguished from most other districts in the state by the existence of very large

forests chiefly stocked with sal. Forest products play an important role in the economy of the

district. Besides, supplying fuel, fodder, bamboos and medicinal herbs, they also yield a variety

of products like honey, lac, gum, resin, catechu, wax, horns and hides. The forests account for

1477 sq.kms of area, giving a percentage of 43.70 of the total area of the district. Owing to the

variation in altitudes and other aspects, the flora of the district vary from tropical to alpine

species. Different types of forests and varying species of shrubs, climbing plants and grasses,

depending upon the aspect, altitude and soil condition are found in the district. Sal forest and

coniferous forests are predominant in the western part of tehsil Dehra Dun. Chir is the only

coniferous species in the old reserved forests of Dehra Dun. Besides other associates of chir, a

few deodar trees are also seen in the district. Wide ranges of sal forest occur in this part of the

tehsil. Sal is the main timber species and is generally pure towards the Siwalik ridges. A mixture

of miscellaneous species are found in the lower parts. In the eastern part of tehsil Dehra Dun, the

flora may be divided into a number of Botanical divisions mentioned below : Moist Siwalik Sal

Forests : These forests are found in the Motichur and Thano forest ranges. Low quality of sal is

found in these forests. The main associates of sal are bakli and sain. Moist Bhabar Doon Sal

Forests : These forests are found in a large areas in Thano and Barkot forest ranges. Sal is pure in

the overwood and its typical associates are sain and dhauri. the underwood growth includes

karaunda and chameli. West gangetic Moist Deciduous Forests : These are found in the Kansro,

Barkot, Motichur and Thano forest ranges. These are closed forests from medium to good height.

The main associates of sal are safed siris, jhingan, bohera and dhauri. Dry Siwalik Sal Forests :

These forests are found on the higher slopes of Siwaliks. In Chakrata tehsil they occur near the

junction of the Tons and the Yamuna rivers in the neighborhood of Kalsi. Sal is the predominant

species mixed with other associates viz. bakli, sain, haldu, jhingan etc. Besides the above many

other types of forests occur in small belts in the plain of the district.

RIVERS, CANALS AND WATERWAYS

The Siwalik (outer and lower ranges of Himalayas) lies at its feet, the outer- scrap of the

Himalayas bound it on the north and the scared Ganga and the Yamuna skirt in on the east and

the west respectively. The Ganga enters the district in the eastern Dun at Tapoban and

meandering south-west goes to Hardwar via Raiwala near Rishikesh. The Yamuna enters the

district in Jaunsar and flows southwards for about 32 kms on the south-east border of the district.

CM INAUGRATES TO LACHIWALA RAILWAY OVER BRIDGE

Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna inaugurated the much-awaited Lachiwala railway over bridge on Sunday.

The states first flyover would surely bring a smile to many faces reducing the traffic woes of thousands ofpeople everyday. The 178 meter long Lachiwala railway over bridge took four long years for completion.

Around Rs 43 crore was spent on the construction.The association of Railways and Uttarakhand Public Works Department (PWD) jointly constructed the

over bridge. The Railways undertook construction of the main structure while the PWD took the

responsibility of connecting the side approaches.

Connecting Dehradun, Rishikesh and Haridwar links, the railway over bridge would reduce the traffic

problem of commuters coming from areas like Haridwar, Chandigarh, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.

The over bridge project got a nod from the state government in 2008. The construction work of the bridge

was to be completed by December 2010 but it could not meet the deadline due to several reasons.

Present on the occasion, Harish Rawat, Minister of Water Resources, stressed that the construction of

the over bridge can be considered a great achievement. Meanwhile, he also put forth various problems of

the locals to the Chief Minister. Speaking on the occasion former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Ramesh

Pokhriyal Nishank added that Bharti Janta Party (BJP) played an important part in the construction of the

this railway overbridge. Notably, former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Bhuwan Chandra Khanduri laid thefoundation stone of the overbridge four years back.

Meanwhile, Bahuguna also announced several other development projects like construction of the road

connecting Raipur and Jollygrant airport. A total of Rs 150 crore has been fixed for this. He also

announced that over bridges would also be constructed at some other areas including ISBT, Jogiwala

and Bhadaribaag.DEHRA DUN: Travelling from Dehra Dun to Hardwar or Rishikesh will become easier in a years time when

the bridge over the railway track at Lachiwala is expected to be functional.

Announcing this while laying the foundation stone for the over-bridge and five other projects at a Vikas Mela

at Lachiwala on Monday, Uttarakhand Chief Minister B.C. Khanduri said his government aimed to set up a

sound infrastructure and facilitate entrepreneurship at all levels.


23/25

Foundation stones were also laid for conversion of the road from Vidhan Sabha to Mokhampur from two lanes

to four lanes, widening of the roads in Roorkee, repair of the roads in Rishikesh and laying of a drainage system

from Jhajra to Sahaspur. A sum of Rs.170 crore will be spent on these works.


24/25

CONCLUSION

Governments and the tourism industry have an unprecedented opportunity, particularly through support of

Mussorrie to exercise policy leadership in pursuing a common vision for tourism in India.

The Tourism Strategy provides a foundation for a long-term, coordinated approach to sustainable growth

of the tourism sector. By working collaboratively, public and private sector tourism stakeholders can

continue building an internationally competitive tourism sector for its future generations.

Governments and industry have taken the first step to improving cooperation and collaboration among

governments and industry. The next steps will be to continue to work together to advance the Strategy,

and to implement the "priorities for action" set out on the two previous pages. All governments, in

partnership with their industry, must bring to bear their resolve to turn actions into results.
