GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, 25(2), 543–554. https://doi.org/10.30892/gtg.25221-379 Abstract: Rarh Bengal in India is a well known lateritic landscape endowed with a number of geoarchaeological sites. Research gaps have been identified in the systematic mapping and location analysis on the nature of distributional pattern of such geoarchaeosites from the perspective of planning a number of geotourism circuits. With application of nearest neighbour analysis and GIS based digital cartography, this paper is an attempt to analyze space-time dimensions of geosites bearing the traces of past lives with special concentration on our predecessors. With the application of network analysis, shortest route planning is obtained for sustainable tourist movement. Key words: Location, cartography, nearest neighbour, network, sustainable * * * * * * INTRODUCTION Cemented deposits like pebble or cobble conglomerates in many places of Indian subcontinent bears the imprint of past lives of trees, animals and human being with their artifacts. Such fossils are useful for the classification and cataloguing of the entire roster of life with discernable evolution phases along with recognition of the divisions of geologic time (Dietz et al., 1987).

Srikanta Bhaya*, Dr. Abhisek Chakrabarty** * Senior Research Fellow. West Bengal State Council of Science and Technology, Bikash Bhavan ** Assistant Professor, Dept. of Remote Sensing & GIS, Vidyasagar University, Midnapore, W.B. Abstract- A number of districts of different states (Jharkhand state as well as adjacent parts of Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar and Chhattisgarh) in India are affected by extremist movement in which Purulia district of West Bengal is important one where they claim to be fighting for the rights of the tribes in the forest belt. The group has tried to draw attention through committing several grisly murders, blowing up schools and railway tracks by triggering some explosions. They are engaged seditious activities in the remote and relatively inaccessible places of the district. In the remote areas, they are able to convince the poor, illiterate or less educated people for supporting them and blaming the administration for their under development. A careful geospatial investigation reveals that those blocks which are located very close to the Ayodhya Hill are more affected by the extremist activities (e.g. Balarampur-I, Arsha, Baghmundi Bundwan and Jhalda-I). It is very clear that the activities occurred near the hilly areas and in inaccessible terrain. Index Terms: Geographic profiling, Socio-economic development, GIS. 1.

A close examination of per capita income, persons / families living below poverty level, agricultural productivity, cropping intensity, seasonal/permanent fallow indicate and justify that the area is undoubtedly undeveloped. The physical environment, particularly weather and climate, topography and soil are mainly accused and said to be responsible for the backwardness of this area. Rainfall Average annual rainfall is 1446.4 mm which varies from 1218.8 mm at Burrabazar in Purulia to 1704.0 mm at Pingla I I in Paschim Medinipur. Within 13 sub-divisions, the amount I varies from 1316.3 mm at Purulia Sadar to 1636.0 mm at r e Kharagpur and the number of rainy days varies from 68 to 79. p a So, regarding the amount of rainfall and number of rainy days P this region is not far behind many other regions / districts of y c i the State.

Abstract: Lac is a sticky resinous substance secreted by tiny variety of lac insects. Lac cultivation is the oldest and most visible economic activity in Purulia district since time immemorial. In Purulia there is plenty of host trees, thus the district is famous for lac production A large part of total Lac production in west Bengal comes from the Purulia district. Lac cultivation was once the main economic activity of the district and it was the main source of income for villagers because the land and its texture and climate were not congenial for traditional cultivation of paddy etc. But in recent years production of Lac is not satisfactory.

    Harvest (Online); Bi-Annual Agriculture in Purulia Volume 2; 2017 STUDY OF CLIMATIC ENVIRONMENT AND AGRICULTURAL SCENARIO IN PURULIA Gobinda Biswas Asst. Professor (B.Ed.) Sunderban Anil Krishna Mahavidyalaya Abstract Purulia is identified as the ‘Drought Prone’ undeveloped area of the state. A close examination of per capita income, cropping intensity, proportion of seasonal and permanent fallow land, undoubtedly indicate its backwardness. The diverse physical environment, particularly weather and climate, topography and soil are usually blamed for its backwardness. Agriculture is the most weather sensitive activity. So it is essential to know for the farmers, which crop is suitable for which season, rainfall intensity, temperature and also seasonal hazards which are related to this area. The data from the potential evapo-transpiration has been collected and the water budget prepared for implementing ideal crop planning in this area.

The landscape facing the confluence of Shyok and Nubra rivers is the natural habitat for seabuckthorn, wild flowers and desert wildlife. The 11 acre farm with our family home, has been planted with poplar, willow, apricot and apple trees, along with vegetable gardens. It commands a 360 degree view of the Karakoram mountains, the sand dunes and the nubra river. The Shyok River meets the Nubra River to form a large valley that separates the Ladakh and Karakoram Ranges. This 10,000 ft (3048M) high altitude cold desert with rare precipitation and scant vegetation except along river beds and villages, which are irrigated and fertile, producing wheat, barley, peas, mustard and apples, walnuts, apricots and almond trees. The valley extends up to Turtuk to the north west and Siachen Glacier to the north east with the Sasser and Karakoram Pass connecting Nubra with Xinjiang, forming the old silk route. Nubra Valley has sand dunes with bactrian camels and along with monasteries and a large Buddha statue with its green oasis villages, which are a major highlight of the tourism circuit of Ladakh.
