The different grasslands were surveyed and from 26 different grassland sites 36 floricans were recorded. Males were most of the time in display and females were recorded from four different grasslands walking in Saccharum narenga and Sachharum sponteneum grass patches. The present study also recorded 36 different individuals thus a population of 72 floricans in the Dudwa Tiger Reserve The grasslands in Dudhwa after burning practices provides a good display ground for the floricans and a mosaic of upland grasslands Impreta cylindrica – Sacchrum spontaneum and low land Sacchrum narenga – Themeda arundancea provides ideal habitat for floricans in the Dudhwa NP and Kishanpur WLS. INTRODUCTION The Bengal Florican, Houbaropsis bengalensis (Gmelin 1789) is identified as critically endangered among the bustards by IUCN and global population is estimated at fewer than 400 individuals in the Indian subcontinent (Anon 2011). The Bengal Florican is listed in the Schedule I of the Indian Wildlife Protection Act.

  • Integrated Law Enforcement Centres
    Integrated Law Enforcement Centres A Futuristic Border Management Institution for India Santosh Mehra, IPS Additional Director General Bureau of Police Research & Development (formerly IG, BSF). 1. Introduction / Background: 1.1 The all-pervasive phenomenon of globalization across the world has posed both opportunities as well as challenges. While it enables the developing and least developed countries to ride the tide of economic openness towards greater employment, market and prosperity; it also poses threat of cross border and trans-national crimes and terrorism. Though no country can afford to ignore the benefits of globalisation as means of economic development and prosperity; its full benefit can be drawn only if proper safeguard measures are placed against its associated evils. The old institutional safeguards may not be effective and / or efficient to check the associated cross border and trans-national crimes. There is need for revisiting the existing institutional safeguards and, if required, to explore alternatives which may be sufficiently effective and efficient. 2.0 Overview: This Project Report is an attempt to assess the nature and extent of cross border and trans-national crimes on the borders of India, highlight its impact on national security, map the existing institutional arrangement in addressing them, identify the limitations in the existing set up, explore the arrangements around the globe and suggest viable short term and long term solutions for India. 1 2.1 Project Title –: Integrated Law Enforcement Centres – A Futuristic Approach for Strengthening National Security 2.2 Vision: The vision of this project report is to promote Integrated Border Management in a holistic and comprehensive manner.
