Introduction There are approximately 700 identified species of carnivorous plants placed in 15 genera of nine families of dicotyledonous plants (Albert et al. 1992; Ellison & Gotellli 2001; Fleischmann 2012; Rice 2006) (Table 1). In India, a total of five genera of carnivorous plants are reported with 44 species; viz. Utricularia (38 species), Drosera (3), Nepenthes (1), Pinguicula (1), and Aldrovanda (1) (Santapau & Henry 1976; Anonymous 1988; Singh & Sanjappa 2011; Zaman et al. 2011; Kamble et al. 2012). Inter- estingly, northeastern India is the home of all five insectivorous genera, namely Nepenthes (com- monly known as tropical pitcher plant), Drosera (sundew), Utricularia (bladderwort), Aldrovanda (waterwheel plant), and Pinguicula (butterwort) with a total of 21 species. The area also hosts the “ancestral false carnivorous” plant Plumbago zelayanica, often known as murderous plant. Climate Lowland to mid-altitude areas are characterized by subtropical climate (Table 2) with maximum temperatures and maximum precipitation (monsoon) in summer, i.e., May to September (in some places the highest temperatures are reached already in April), and average temperatures usually not dropping below 0°C in winter.

Conserving large forest tracts and protected wildlife habitats provides an opportunity for restoring populations of wide-ranging wildlife such as tigers and elepha.TJts. Basedon limited fieldobservations coupled with focused group discussion with local villagers andsenior staffmembers of the wildlife wing ofthe State Forest Departmentof Megahlaya,we identified 20 localities in South GaroHills, which if protected andmanaged for tiger conservation, could help restore this fast disappearing species. An integrated multidisciplinary landscape scale approach to wildlife management, including designation of intact forest corridors among protected areas and reserved forests, would greatlycontribute to conservation of tigers andoverall biodiversity of this region.

  • Earthquake Resistant Characteristics of Traditional Khasi Houses in Shillong, India
    Eco-Architecture II 159 Earthquake resistant characteristics of traditional Khasi houses in Shillong, India B. I. O. Dahunsi & A. K. Mittal Structural Engineering Division, Central Building Research Institute, India Abstract Shillong, the capital of the state of Meghalaya, is located in the highest risk zone (V) of earthquake vulnerability in India. The area has witnessed several earthquakes including the one that occurred in 1897 during which most of the town was destroyed. Some of the buildings that survived the earthquake included some traditional Khasi houses. The earthquake resistant features of such traditional buildings were studied. Basically, the traditional Khasi houses are built on raised platforms. The roofs are of thatch while the walls may be from materials such as stone masonry with lime mortars, lime rendered mud walls or thatch depending on prevailing weather conditions. Mud and stone walls are common in areas with heavy rainfalls. The structural system consists mainly of post and beam timber frames having pillars buried into the ground. The floor is supported at intervals by limestone or wooden pillars. Some of the characteristics of the traditional Khasi houses in Shillong that are in conformity with modern building code requirements include the fact that they are not usually built on hill tops and they have symmetrical oval shapes which are devoid of sharp corners, thereby avoiding stress concentrations which is a major source of failure at wall corners during earthquakes. Nails are not used in the constructions, and the grooves and tongues that are utilized allow for dissipation of seismic loads. The roofs are made of light materials so that fatalities from failed roofs are limited.

  • Food Security in North-East Region of India — a State-Wise Analysis
    Agricultural Economics Research Review Vol. 28 (Conference Number) 2015 pp 259-266 DOI: 10.5958/0974-0279.2015.00041.5 Food Security in North-East Region of India — A State-wise Analysis A. Roy*, N.U. Singh, D.S. Dkhar, A.K. Mohanty, S.B. Singh and A.K. Tripathi ICAR Research Complex for North-Eastern Hill Region, Umiam - 793 103, Meghalaya Abstract With the adoption of high-yielding varieties of paddy, the foodgrains production has increased in North- East region of India. To estimate the growth performance of agriculture, time series data on area, production and productivity of foodgrains have been analysed for the period 1972-73 to 2011-12, which was divided into three decades, viz. 1982-83 to 1991-92 (I decade), 1992-93 to 2001-02 (II decade), 2002-03 to 2011- 12 (III decade) and overall period 1972-73 to 2011-12. During the overall period, among the states, Nagaland registered the highest significant growth in area, production and yield, followed by Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram. All the NE states have shown positive growth rates in area, production and yield increase. The decomposition analysis of growth has suggested that sources of output growth were almost same in all the periods. During the first decade, the major contribution in the change of foodgrain production in the region was of area effect (74.8%), followed by yield effect (22.8%), whereas in all-India, the yield effect was 71 per cent. During the second period, the region had almost half sharer (50.3%) of area effect in food security, followed by yield effect (42.7%).
