But then again they are easily available in the market and here again, comes another vicious cycle. The market that we currently have has only so much capacity to absorb a certain amount of produce and due to diseases and pestilence, naturally raised produce lack the advantage that chemically intervened crops have.

Conserving large forest tracts and protected wildlife habitats provides an opportunity for restoring populations of wide-ranging wildlife such as tigers and elepha.TJts. Basedon limited fieldobservations coupled with focused group discussion with local villagers andsenior staffmembers of the wildlife wing ofthe State Forest Departmentof Megahlaya,we identified 20 localities in South GaroHills, which if protected andmanaged for tiger conservation, could help restore this fast disappearing species. An integrated multidisciplinary landscape scale approach to wildlife management, including designation of intact forest corridors among protected areas and reserved forests, would greatlycontribute to conservation of tigers andoverall biodiversity of this region.

  • Aspects of Neolithic Agriculture and Shifting Cultivation, Garo Hills, Meghalaya
    Aspects of Neolithic Agriculture and Shifting Cultivation, Garo Hills, Meghalaya Received 22 August 1981 SANKAR KUMAR ROY ABSTRACT HE TRADITIONAL SHIFTING cultivation (or slash and burn) being practiced in T the Garo Hills has a prehistoric base. The hoe and axe continue as the princi­ pal tools, operated exclusively by human energy. We cannot say whether the people of the culture under study are the descendants of the neolithic population, but analogy between the material cultures of the past and present should not be ignored. Chronologically the culture under study is modern, but economically neolithic. There are differences in the raw material of the tools. Formerly they were made of stone, at present they are iron. Such a difference does not result in a major variation in the quantity of production between past and present. The hoe and axe have inher­ ent limitations in working capability. Such a technology, under the given ecological conditions, can support only 4 to 5 persons per square kilometer. Under the tradi­ tional agricultural system, intensification contributes little to improvement, as was the case during neolithic times as well. INTRODUCTION The discovery of neolithic artifacts from Garo Hills, Meghalaya (previously Assam) dates back more than a decade now. The work done so far has been primarily confined to the typological and technological aspects of these materials (Goswami and Bhagabati 1959a; 1959b; Goswami et a1. 1969; Sharma and Sharma 1968; Sharma and Singh 1968; Revised manuscript received 12 June 1984.

  • Regional, Seasonal, and Diurnal Variations of Extreme Convection in the South Asian Region
    15 JANUARY 2010 R O M A T S C H K E E T A L . 419 Regional, Seasonal, and Diurnal Variations of Extreme Convection in the South Asian Region ULRIKE ROMATSCHKE University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, and University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria SOCORRO MEDINA AND ROBERT A. HOUZE JR. University of Washington, Seattle, Washington (Manuscript received 17 March 2009, in final form 2 July 2009) ABSTRACT Temporal and spatial variations of convection in South Asia are analyzed using eight years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) data and NCEP reanalysis fields. To identify the most extreme convective features, three types of radar echo structures are defined: deep convective cores (contiguous 3D convective echo $40 dBZ extending $10 km in height) represent the most vertically pen- etrative convection, wide convective cores (contiguous convective $40 dBZ echo over a horizontal area $1000 km2) indicate wide regions of intense multicellular convection, and broad stratiform regions (strati- form echo contiguous over an area $50 000 km2) mark the mesoscale convective systems that have de- veloped the most robust stratiform regions. The preferred locations of deep convective cores change markedly from India’s east coast in the pre- monsoon to the western Himalayan foothills in the monsoon. They form preferentially in the evening and over land as near-surface moist flow is capped by dry air aloft. Continental wide convective cores show a similar behavior with an additional nocturnal peak during the monsoon along the Himalayan foothills that is associated with convergence of downslope flow from the Himalayas with moist monsoonal winds at the foothills.

    .UNIT 23 CENTRAL AND EASTERN INDIA Objectives Introduction Malwa Jaunpur Bengal Assam 23.5.1 Kamata-Kamrup 23.5.2 The Ahoms Orissa Let Us sum UP Answers to Check Your Progress Exercises 4 23.0 OBJECTIVES In the present Unit, we will study about regional states in Central and Eastern India during the 13-15th centuries. After reading this Unit, you would learn about: the emergence of regional states in Central and Eastern India, territorial expansion of these regional kingdoms, their relations with their neighbours and other regional states, and 1 their relations with the Delhi Sultanate. 23.4 INTRODUCTION You have already read (in Block 5, Unit 18) that regional kingdoms posed severe threat to the already weakened Delhi Sultanate and with their emergence began the process of the physical disintegration of the Sultanate. In this Unit, our focus would be on the emergence of regional states in Central and Eastern India viz., Malwa, Jaunpur, Bengal, Assam and Orissa. We will study the polity-establishment, expansion and disintegration-of the above kingdoms. You would know how they emerged and succeeded in establishing their hegemony. During the 13th-15th centuries in Central and Eastern India, there emerged two types of kingdoms: a) those whose rise and development was independent of the Sultanate (for example : the kingdoms of Assam and Orissa) and b) Bengal, Malwa and Jaunpur who owed tHeir existencr ru the Sultanate. All these kingdoms were constantlyat war with each other. The nobles, ci,' ;s or rajas and local aristocracy played crucial roles in these confrontations. 23.2 MALWA The decline of the Sultanate paved the way for the emergence bf the independent kingdom of Malwa.

  • District Fact Sheet East Khasi Hills Meghalaya
    Ministry of Health and Family Welfare National Family Health Survey - 4 2015 -16 District Fact Sheet East Khasi Hills Meghalaya International Institute for Population Sciences (Deemed University) Mumbai 1 Introduction The National Family Health Survey 2015-16 (NFHS-4), the fourth in the NFHS series, provides information on population, health and nutrition for India and each State / Union territory. NFHS-4, for the first time, provides district-level estimates for many important indicators. The contents of previous rounds of NFHS are generally retained and additional components are added from one round to another. In this round, information on malaria prevention, migration in the context of HIV, abortion, violence during pregnancy etc. have been added. The scope of clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical testing (CAB) or Biomarker component has been expanded to include measurement of blood pressure and blood glucose levels. NFHS-4 sample has been designed to provide district and higher level estimates of various indicators covered in the survey. However, estimates of indicators of sexual behaviour, husband’s background and woman’s work, HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, and, domestic violence will be available at State and national level only. As in the earlier rounds, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India designated International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai as the nodal agency to conduct NFHS-4. The main objective of each successive round of the NFHS has been to provide essential data on health and family welfare and emerging issues in this area. NFHS-4 data will be useful in setting benchmarks and examining the progress in health sector the country has made over time.
