  • The Conservation Action Plan the Ganges River Dolphin
    THE CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN FOR THE GANGES RIVER DOLPHIN 2010-2020 National Ganga River Basin Authority Ministry of Environment & Forests Government of India Prepared by R. K. Sinha, S. Behera and B. C. Choudhary 2 MINISTER’S FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce the Conservation Action Plan for the Ganges river dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) in the Ganga river basin. The Gangetic Dolphin is one of the last three surviving river dolphin species and we have declared it India's National Aquatic Animal. Its conservation is crucial to the welfare of the Ganga river ecosystem. Just as the Tiger represents the health of the forest and the Snow Leopard represents the health of the mountainous regions, the presence of the Dolphin in a river system signals its good health and biodiversity. This Plan has several important features that will ensure the existence of healthy populations of the Gangetic dolphin in the Ganga river system. First, this action plan proposes a set of detailed surveys to assess the population of the dolphin and the threats it faces. Second, immediate actions for dolphin conservation, such as the creation of protected areas and the restoration of degraded ecosystems, are detailed. Third, community involvement and the mitigation of human-dolphin conflict are proposed as methods that will ensure the long-term survival of the dolphin in the rivers of India. This Action Plan will aid in their conservation and reduce the threats that the Ganges river dolphin faces today. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. R. K. Sinha , Dr. S. K. Behera and Dr.

For sustainable development of hill tracts, electricity is inseparable. Like other parts of Bangladesh hill tracts districts felt increasing demand of electricity. In this paper an attempt has been taken to present the existing environmental condition and analysis the future environmental condition after implementation of project. Electrification will extend the length of the active day. Electrification will improve security (people’s perception of safety and security) at the region. The elements of the project identified as components for analysis are chosen based on DOE’s guideline. The study showed that 87% people say that they feel safer at night since being electrified. Impacts are classified on the basis of EPA’s scaling and DOE, university’s teachers, NGOs expert’s opinions. Value more than 10 is classified significantly affected element of the project.

  • Survey on Major Diseases of Vegetable and Fruit Crops in Chittagong Region
    ISSN 0258-7122 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 35(3) : 423-429, September 2010 SURVEY ON MAJOR DISEASES OF VEGETABLE AND FRUIT CROPS IN CHITTAGONG REGION M. T. HOSSAIN1, S. M. M. HOSSAIN2, M. A. BAKR3 A. K. M. MATIAR RAHMAN4 AND S. N. UDDIN5 Abstract A survey was conducted during October 2006 to June 2008 to observe disease prevalence of vegetable and fruit crops in Chittagong region. Through the survey, 24 diseases with their incidence and severity were recorded. The average higher leaf infection in early blight of potato and fruit infection in soft rot of potato were recorded 37% and 39%, respectively. The highest leaf infection (43%) of early blight of tomato that was more frequented (mode) 36% in different locations with ±0.45% ranges (Standard error) for causing the disease as recorded at Sadar Anwara upazila of Chittagong. The highest fruit infection of soft rot of potato (43%) was recorded at Dohazari, Chandanaish upazila in Chittagong. The average of higher disease severity of leaf (27%) and fruit (33%) was recorded in early blight of tomato and soft rot of potato, respectively, and the highest disease severity of leaf (29%) and fruit (35%) was recorded in Phomopsis blight and early blight of tomato and soft rot of potato, respectively. Keywords : Diseases, vegetable, fruit, survey. Introduction Bangladesh is an agrarian country. Its economy is mainly dependent on agriculture. Crop loss owing to the diseases poses a great threat to Bangladesh agriculture. More than 454 diseases in around 100 cultivated crops have so far been recorded in Bangladesh (Anon., 2006). The diseases cause substantial losses to crops.

  • Conservation of Gangetic Dolphin in Brahmaputra River System, India
    CONSERVATION OF GANGETIC DOLPHIN IN BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER SYSTEM, INDIA Final Technical Report A. Wakid Project Leader, Gangetic Dolphin Conservation Project Assam, India Email: [email protected] 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There was no comprehensive data on the conservation status of Gangetic dolphin in Brahmaputra river system for last 12 years. Therefore, it was very important to undertake a detail study on the species from the conservation point of view in the entire river system within Assam, based on which site and factor specific conservation actions would be worthwhile. However, getting the sponsorship to conduct this task in a huge geographical area of about 56,000 sq. km. itself was a great problem. The support from the BP Conservation Programme (BPCP) and the Rufford Small Grant for Nature Conservation (RSG) made it possible for me. I am hereby expressing my sincere thanks to both of these Funding Agencies for their great support to save this endangered species. Besides their enormous workload, Marianne Dunn, Dalgen Robyn, Kate Stoke and Jaimye Bartake of BPCP spent a lot of time for my Project and for me through advise, network and capacity building, which helped me in successful completion of this project. I am very much grateful to all of them. Josh Cole, the Programme Manager of RSG encouraged me through his visit to my field area in April, 2005. I am thankful to him for this encouragement.

  • (IAIS) WELCOME Islam & Multiculturalism in Bangladesh
    International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies (IAIS) WELCOME Islam & Multiculturalism in Bangladesh: A Reflection By Prof Dr Golam Dastagir September 12, 2012 1 British India 2 Bangladesh 3 Bangladesh 4 Prelude Religions and cultures are intertwined in each society. Culture means cultivation of the human mind and thus becomes synonymous with life and its activities, both inward and outward. Gandhi rightly says, “No culture can live if it attempts to be exclusive.” 5 Identity Crisis Muslims had lost their power to the British Imperialists in 1757 Muslims had refused to learn English, Stuck to Persian and Arabic languages to uphold their cultural identity in Islam (?). 6 Searching Identity in Islam Ahmede Hussain points out, “For around 200 years, date-trees, deserts and minarets epitomised Muslim culture in this part of Bengal. Some even took up surnames like Sheikh and Syed just to deny their Hindu past.” 7 Muslim’s backwardness But Hindus collaborated with the colonisers and occupied the lion’s share of power structure. Muslims, in general, lagged behind They became sub-ordinate to the Hindu boss, or ended up as domestic help called ‘Abdul’ in their kitchen. 8 Language Movement Bangalee Muslims voted for Jinnah's Two Nation Theory, got a jolt when the Pakistani ruling class refused to recognize their mother-tongue in 1952 as one of the state languages 21st February 1952 – language movement “International Mother Language Day” - UNESCO 9 Language Movement 10 Language Movement 11 Identifying root It was during the Pakistan era that the Bengali Muslims first tried to excavate its root They started to celebrate Pahela Baishakh and Choitro Shonkranti en mass, But the Pakistanis viewed them as a revival of Hindu culture in them.
