  • DIVERSITY and EX SITU CONSERVATION of ORCHID SPECIES in LEKHAPANI.Pmd
    J. Orchid Soc. India, 33: 113-119, 2019 ISSN 0971-5371 DIVERSITY AND EX SITU CONSERVATION OF ORCHID SPECIES IN LEKHAPANI RESERVE FOREST UNDER MAKUM COAL FIELD, ASSAM Kuntala N Barua, Bonanya Bora, and Abhinab Borah Rain Forest Research Institute, Jorhat- 785 001, Assam, India Abstract Orchids are fascinating group of angiosperms that have attracted the admiration of scientists, horticulturists, and industrialists because of their amazing ornamentation, brilliant color combinations, and extended blooming period. They are very sensitive and have high specificity towards pollution free environment of their niches and need much more care for protection of their habitat for their existence. The process of open-cast coal mining involves removal of top overlying soil layer with vegetation cover, leading to denudation and total elimination of the forest cover. Majority of the orchids are found as epiphytes and destruction of trees has created permanent elimination of these epiphytes. Assam is blessed with wide-range of eco-climatic suitability to fulfill the specific micro-climatic requirement for the growth of orchids. The present study deals with the natural diversity of orchids within Lekhapani Reserve Forest of Makum Coal Field in Digboi Forest Division under Dihing-Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary. The reserve forest covers an area of 1158.46 hectares. Lekhapani- Tipongpani Mining lease lies on the South West border with Arunachal Pradesh. Bio-geographically, the study site is situated in the Eastern Himalayan province where the major forest type is Assam Valley Tropical Wet Evergreen Forest dominated by Canarium resiniferum Brace ex King., Dipterocarpus retusus Blume., Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.)

  • The Historical Road for Common Prosperity of South East Asia
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 9(1); July 2014 The Historical Road for Common Prosperity of South East Asia Dr (Mrs) Juri Gogoi Konwar Assistant Professor, Dept of Cultural Studies Tezpur Central University Assam India – 784028 Abstract During the Second World War, the road from Ledo, North East Frontier rail station of Assam, India, to Kunming of Yunnan province, China via Lekhapani, Jairampur, Nampong and Pangsau pass of Patkai range, Shindbwiyang, Upper Chindwin, Hukawng and Mogaung valleys, Bhamo, Burma (Myanmar) road and then to Wanting, at China border was constructed by the Allied Forces for maintaining military supply by road. Starting on December 1, 1942 the construction was completed on May 20, 1945. The road passed through some of the most difficult mountainous terrains of the world having 700 bridges over big and small rivers. After the war, for some time the road was maintained, thereafter it remained to be almost completely neglected. In the light of ‘Open Market Policy’ adopted by the international community, desire of the South East Asian countries to have common economic prosperity and ‘Look East Policy’ of India, it is important for the concerned countries to reconstruct and reopen the road. The paper presents an account of its possible utilization for the socio-cultural and economic linkages of the connected and nearby countries for peace and prosperity. Keywords: Ledo-Stilwell road, heritage, prosperity, South East Asia Introduction During one hundred twenty one years of British administration of Assam in India, there was a road from her eastern most small town Ledo to Myanmar.

Namdapha National Park is located at a few kilometers away from Miao amidst misty blue hills along the turbulent Noa-Dihing river in the sprawling tropical rain forest. It was declared as Tiger Reserve by the Government of India in 1983. The beautiful forest possesses great biodiversity of Flora and Fauna. It is believed that a comprehensive survey of species and its genetic variation of the National Park may take as long as 50 years to know its botanical resources. There are more than 150 timber species available in the forest. The Pinus merkusi and Abies delavavi available in the forest are not found elsewhere in India. One of the rarest and endangered orchids, the Blue Vanda is found in this park. A popular local medicinal plant called Mishimi Teeta (Copti teeta) which is used by the local tribal for all kinds of diseases is available but its export has been banned. Namdapha is the only the only park in the world to have four Feline species of big cat namely tiger (Panthera Tigris), Leopard (Panthera Pardus), Snow Leopard (PantheraUncia) and Clouded Leopard (Neofelis Nebulosa).
