The species has very fast growth rate and capacity to become naturalized outside of its native range, even it is invasive in some parts of the world. The regulation of trade in the species is not necessary to avoid it becoming eligible for inclusion in Appendix I in the near future and the harvest of specimens from the wild is not reducing the wild population to a level at which its survival might be threatened by continued harvesting or other influences.

    1 Journal of Scientific Research Vol. 56, 2012 : 1-18 Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi ISSN : 0447-9483 ANALYSIS OF FOLDS FROM THE CGGC ROCKS IN SONBHADRA DISTRICT UTTAR PRADESH AND THEIR TECTONIC AND GEOMORPHIC IMPLICATIONS Vaibhava Srivastava and H. B. Srivastava Centre of Advanced Study, Department of Geology Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi -221005 Abstract The Precambrian rocks exposed in the southern part of Sonbhadra district of Uttar Pradesh rocks form a part of Chhotanagpur plateau of the central part of India. Geologically it belongs to the Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGGC) which has witnessed multiple tectonic deformations. From the analysis of the folds of this region four deformation phases have been identified for the CGGC rocks. The characteristic fold interference of dome and basin type has rendered the present day topography of the Chhotanagpur plateau which is different from nearby plateaux on other Precambrian rocks in central India. Introduction The structural features are the manifestations of the deforming forces that have acted on the rock bodies since their formation. Each rock type possesses different mechanical and physical properties which vary with conditions under which it deforms. Therefore, diverse varieties of structures are displayed by the rocks which constitute the earth's crust. The systematic study of these structures i.e. the structural analysis reveals the deformational histories of the rock bodies in different parts of the crust. Folds are those structures which develop during the ductile deformation of the layered rocks in response to the tectonic forces. Therefore the systematic studies and analysis can reveals many aspects of the tectonic events that the rocks has undergone.

It is located in one of the Birlas’ industrial towns — Renukoot, in the south-eastern part of Uttar Pradeś where HINDALCO Industries Limited (the aluminium factory) has operated since 1962. The region started attracting investors and industrialist after a dam was constructed on the river Rihand1). It was inaugurated in 1960 by the then prime minister of India – Jawaharlal Nehru. He tried to encourage every guest and businessman who came there, among them Ghanshyamdas Birla, to invest in the region. Indeed, the Birlas decided to locate one of their main enterprises here — the Hindalco (Hin- dustan Aluminium Corporation) factory. It may be assumed that the temple was planned to serve as the main shrine for the Hindu community living and working in this area. At the same time, it is one of the attractions for visitors to the region. It must, however, be mentioned that if at all we consider it as a kind of ‘tourist’ place, it is only so for local (Indian) visitors2), since it is located beyond the main tourist routes and is rather difficult to reach. The 1) Kudaisya (2003: 334–335). 2) We may find few references to the temple on some websites informing about this area and the attractions one may consider while visiting it, e.g.

    Geografi a, pobreza e desenvolvimento: um debate interdisciplinar Anand Prasad Mishra GEOGRAPHY, POVERTY AND DEVELOPMENT: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY DEBATE Geografi a, pobreza e desenvolvimento: um debate interdisciplinar Anand Prasad Mishra Associate professor, department of geography, Faculty of science Banaras Hindu University. Varanasi 221005 – Uttar Pradesh – India [email protected] [email protected] Artigo recebido para publicação em 20/02/2011e aceito para publicação em 20/06/2011 ABSTRACT: An emerging feature of contemporary development studies in India is the deployment of an interdisci- plinary approach involving geographical location, level of poverty, nature of development and planning etc. The prevalence of poverty in a specifi c geographical location represents the evolving pattern of deprivation under a particular mode of production. The historicity of poverty in a geographical space needs an independent enquiry and identifi cation of different production systems which are responsible for the problem of deprivation through multiple routes. The present paper is an attempt to initiate a debate on the issue of poverty, especially in a tribal region, through a multi-dimensional perspective, i.e. interrelation between geography, poverty, development and planning. The paper identifi es one of the most poverty-stricken regions of India for a detailed discussion of the various casual factors which are apparently responsible for the poverty of that region. The paper also tries to explore the historical background of poverty in the study area (Babhani Block of Sonbhadra U. P.). Keywords: Poverty. Deprivation. Geography of poverty. Historical routes of poverty. RESUMO: Uma característica emergente dos estudos de desenvolvimento na Índia contemporânea é a implantação de uma abordagem interdisciplinar envolvendo localização geográfi ca, nível de pobreza, a natureza do desenvolvimento e planejamento, entre outros.

    1 Fluoride Distribution in Aquatic Environment in Vicinity of Aluminum Industry and Its Correlation 2 with Rainwater Chemistry and Weather Parameter

    1 Fluoride Distribution in Aquatic Environment in Vicinity of Aluminum Industry and its Correlation 2 with Rainwater Chemistry and Weather Parameter. A case study of Renukoot, District Sonbhadra, 3 Uttar Pradesh 4 5 Abstract: 6 7 Fluorine is a highly reactive element and readily hydrolyzes to form hydrogen fluoride and oxygen. 8 Hydrogen fluoride reacts with many materials both in the vapor phase and in aerosols. Fluorides are 9 naturally-occurring components of rocks and soil and are also found in air, water, plants, and animals. 10 Fluorine gas pollutes the atmospheric environment originating from aluminium smelting plant operating at 11 Renukoot, district Shonbhadra. Volcanic emissions also emit hydrogen fluoride. A detailed investigation 12 undertaken during 2008-2012 to objective fluoride Distribution in Aquatic Environment in Vicinity of 13 Aluminum Industry and its Correlation with Rainwater Chemistry and Weather Parameter. For this 14 investigation Collect 57 rainwater samples in rainy season in pre-cleaned and sterilized polyethylene 15 bottles of two litre capacity from roof of the local society of Hindustan Aluminum Company Renukoot, 16 district Sonbhadra. The collected samples were analyzed for pH, Electrical Conductivity, Sodium, 17 Potassium, Calcium, Carbonates, Bicarbonates, Chlorine, Sulphate, Fluoride, Residual Sodium Carbonates, 18 and Sodium Adsorption Ratio with standard procedures. 19 20 Keywords Fluoride Aquatic environment chemical composition of Rainwater chemistry 21 Introduction 22 Fluorides are naturally-occurring components of rocks and soil and are also found in air, water, 23 plants, and animals. They enter the atmosphere through volcanic emissions and the resuspension of soil by 24 wind. Volcanoes also emit hydrogen fluoride and some fluorine gas from industrization.
