Answer 1

This book has resulted from the Symposium on the Natural Resources of Rajasthan, which was held at the Jodhpur University, Jodhpur, from 23-26 October, 1968. The holding of the Symposium was made possible through generous grants received from the Jodhpur University and the University Grants Commission. It fulfilled a real need. The response, both in the contribution of papers as well as for the Exhibition, was beyond our expectations, and we are pleased that this was so. For the Symposium itself, a printed Abstracts of Papers was provided to all the participants. But it was widely felt that the publi- cation of the fuller papers which were read would make a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the natural resources of the region, particularly the arid region, and also to the general subjects concerned, namely, fauna, flora, hydrology, solar and wind power, mineral resources, geology, soils, climate, etc. The only comparable event was the “Symposium on the Rajputana Desert” which was held in New Delhi in 1952 by the National Institute of Sciences of India (published as the Bulletin of the National Institute of Sciences of India , New Delhi, No. 1, v-r302 pp., 1952) in which a wide field was covered. Since then, certain events have happened which resulted in the intensification of research work in Rajasthan. These are the establishment, at Jodhpur, of the Central Arid Zone Research Institute and the University of Jodhpur. Furthermore, organisations, both of the Rajasthan State and the Central Government, such as the all-India Surveys (the Zoological Survey of India, the Botanical Survey of India and the Geological Survey of India), the Exploratory Tube Wells Organisation, the Rajas- than Ground Water Board, the Mining and Geology Department of Rajasthan, the Fertilizer Corporation of India, the Atomic Energy Establishment, the Oil and Natural Gas Commission, the Hindustan Salts Ltd., and a number of other organisations, have carried out inten- sive investigations in the region. As a result, a large body of extremely valuable new knowledge has accumulated, and this is abundantly reflected
