The present study attempts to evaluate the degree of heavy metal pollution, contamination, and accumulative behavior in the sediment of the Dhaleswari river. The sediment samples were collected from fifteen different locations of the Dhaleswari river. Heavy metals were analyzed using the Flame Atomic Spectrophotometer (FAAS). The mean concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb and Cd were 131.9, 48.89, 43.16, 33.23 and 0.37 mgkg-1, respectively. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Sediment Quality Guideline, the sediment of most of the locations were not polluted for Pb and Cd. But S-11 location for Cd (0.8 mg kg-1) was highly polluted.

    Spatio Temporal Analysis of Literacy Rate in Jhargram Subdivision of Paschim Medinipur During 1971 to 2011

    August 2017, Volume 4, Issue 08 JETIR (ISSN-2349-5162) SPATIO TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF LITERACY RATE IN JHARGRAM SUBDIVISION OF PASCHIM MEDINIPUR DURING 1971 TO 2011 1Shriya Mukherjee, 1Research Scholar, 1Department of Geography, 1Visva Bharati, Santiniketan, India Abstract—Literacy rate is one of the indicators of the overall development of any area. India has shown a remarkable increase in its crude literacy rate since its independence. But still it is well under the average literacy rate of the world. West Bengal being one of the most populous states of India has shown the same increasing trend in literacy rate. Paschim Medinipur is a very highly populated district of West Bengal. The western part of this district consists of Jhargram Subdivision which is economically very backward compared to the other Subdivisions of this district. This paper analyses the trend of literacy rate in different C.D Blocks of Jhargram Subdivision spatio- temporally over a period of forty years. It is found that the literacy rate is continuously increasing in the area but has remained lower than that of National and State levels. It has been found that although the educational level has increased in the area but in reality a large number of population of Binpur I, Binpur II, Gopiballavpur II and Nayagram, who are included in literate group, cannot write anything other than their names. Thus there exists a gap between actual number of educated people and literacy rate produced by Census of India. Index Terms—Literacy rate, education, population composition, human resource, indicators of development. I. INTRODUCTION Among various components of composition of population the most important is the level of literacy because it gives people the sense of judgment of good and bad and provides awareness.

A total of 85 plant species from different sites in the same Block have been enumerated. The economically important plants belonging to 32 families were recorded which were variable in number and composition in the plant community with the alternation of seasons. The most dominant plant species found was dry deciduous sal (Shorea robusta), which was almost used as varied species due to versatile importance. A fruit, flowers, leaves; barks and corms including timber and litters are found and frequently used over the area. Almost all plant materials were used day by day to solve the local problems since time immemorial. Medicinal plants available in the forest but they use a little bit of medicinal plants for the remedy of ailments though they use the medicinal plants for their use to cure ailments for cattle. Some are used as gastrointestinal purpose of the cattle in the same community. As the long term use of plants differs so that the community needs conservation scenario locally.

    Study of Water Quality of Swarnrekha River, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India

    AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 Study of water quality of Swarnrekha River, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India Suresh Kumar 1, Sujata kumari 2 1. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India 2. Ranchi University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract The name of river “Swarnrekha” is given after in the ancient period due to the occurrence of “gold streaks” in the river water or river sediments. The river originated from a “seepage cum underground well”, locally called “Ranichuan” at the Nagari village of the Ranchi district. It is the first river which originates from seepage well locally called “Chuan” basically a great seepage well having a catchment area. According to Hindu Mythology, it is said that this Ranichuan was carved by the lord Rama by his arrow while Sita, his wife, was feeling thirsty during the period of Ramayana. In this way, we say that the river is basically originated from the seepage water or ground water. It travels towards the south east of Ranchi to East Singhbhum to Sarikhela and finally confluence with Damodar River at cretina mouth of the river. Previously, it was very pure form of drinkable water and day by day its quality deteriorated due to the anthropogenic activities and ultimately whole stretches of the river turned into garbage field and most polluted water streams. So, now we can say the river turned from gold streak to garbage streak and not suitable for the human beings without treatment. Physical, Chemical and microbial properties of the river water from point of origin to the lower chutia is deterioted such as water is very clean at the site of origin and became gradually hazy and dirt as it crosses through the habitants or settlements.

Shows how every person can take responsibility as “kaitiaki” (stewards) of our planet. Provides tangible details, helping the reader to understand how the novel elements of the book can be applied to real-world situations. Extends for the first time the concept of carbon accounting to encompass other key global, scientifically derived, environmental limits This book presents a novel way to enable people, regardless of their scale of influence, to take responsibility for global environmental problems including climate change. It introduces a new framework called Planetary Accounting, which allows the Planetary Boundaries, non-negotiable limits for the environment, to be translated into limits for human activity. It shows how such limits can be broken down into chunks that can be managed at different levels (from individual and community, to business and sector levels, to cities and regions), and at any level of government. The book begins by summarising the science of climate change and introducing the notion of the Anthropocene – the “human age”. It highlights the importance of returning to and remaining within the Planetary Boundaries but shows that we can’t realistically do so unless we have a new approach to environmental accounting.
