INTRODUCTION A. Project Background 1. As one of the key features of the Government’s poverty reduction agenda for the rural sector, the Government of India (GoI) is implementing a nationwide rural road investment program, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). PMGSY aims to provide all-weather road connectivity to currently unserved habitations in India’s rural areas, where 70% of the population live. The Government of India (GOI) launched “The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) in year 2000 The objective of PMGSY is to provide all-weather road connectivity to all rural habitations with a population of more than 500 persons in plains and and 250 persons in hill states. This program is being implemented through National Rural Road Development Authority (NRRDA) under Ministry of Rural Development (MORD) at central level and through State Rural Road Development Authority/Agencies (SRRDA) at state level. 2. The Rural Connectivity Investment Program (RCIP) is continuation of Rural Road Sector II Investment Program (RRS IIP) and is a multitranche financing facility (MFF) that will construct or upgrade to the all-weather standard about 9,000 km of rural roads connecting around 4,800 habitations in the states of Assam, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal (RCIP states). The RCIP will also focus on improvement of institutional arrangements, business processes and associated capacity building. This will especially be done in relation with design, operation, safeguard, financial, road safety, and asset management matters. Investments in rural roads will improve connectivity, cut transport costs, and provide enabling infrastructure to areas currently with poor access to markets and urban towns, and thus contribute to growth and equity in the country’s largest sector. Project 1 (Loan 2881) totaling $252 million is currently ongoing. 3. The Government is now planning to submit to ADB the second Periodic Finance Request (PFR) that includes the proposal

Department of Geology, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India 3University Department of Geology, Ranchi University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received April 24, 2011; revised June 10, 2011; accepted July 19, 2011 Abstract Representative coal samples were collected from different coal seams of the Chirimiri coalfield which cov- ered the entire stratigraphic sequence. These samples were tested for Chemical analysis, Crossing Point Temperature (CPT), Petrography, Infrared studies (IR) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). All the test results vindicated that the aforesaid parameters had a definite relationship with the stratigraphic disposition or the ranks of coal. The low rank coals found as younger seams in the stratigraphic sequence were more prone to spontaneous combustion whereas the higher rank coals found at the bottom of stratigraphic se- quence were less prone to spontaneous combustion. Through combustibility characterisation by different tests, it was found that the upper Duman and Kaperti seams placed as younger seams in the stratigraphic se- quence are highly prone to spontaneous combustion whereas the lower Karakoh and Sonawani seams seem to be least prone to spontaneous combustion.

Website: www.neptjournal.com Bilaspur city is second largest city of the Chhattisgarh state and the River Arpa is the lifeline of this district. Arpa River has its origin from the lust dense forest area of Khondari-Khongsara. In 147 kms of the river Received: 14-6-2012 length, it contributes more than 90 kms to the forest area, including Bilaspur city and irrigated lands of this Accepted: 27-8-2012 district before meeting to Seonath river. The river is having catchment area of about 2022 sq. km. During Key Words: rainy season its water level raises 2-3 meters up and in summer it moves 5 meters down. The river bed is Arpa river mostly sandy with thickness of about 1.5 meter and few rock exposures at some places. More than ten Check dams check dams (Khondari, Belgahana, Lachhanpur, Rapta, Torwa, Darrighat, Sherwani, Kaneri, Mangla, etc.) Bilaspur have been constructed on this river. Earlier these check dams were constructed to overcome the problem of irrigation and for human welfare. But due to reduction in water level of origin site since last five years its water content is decreasing day by day and these check dams have become danger for the livelihood in the area.

Technical College, Sarguja Abstract University, Ambikapur, India is one of the world’s 12 mega biodiversity centers having rich vegetation of plant species and a Chhattisgarh, India wide variety of medicinal plants along with tradition of plant based knowledge distributed among the vast numbers of ethnic groups. Chhattisgarh is the only state of the country where about 44.2% (59772.2Heq) of the total area of state occupied by the forest. Forest division of northern hilly zone of Chhattisgarh was surveyed to study the distribution pattern and ethno-botanical use of medicinal plants. In this state the percentage of sal and mixed forest is more than the teak forest. The life style of tribal people Depends upon the land. Agriculture, hunting, fishing, collection of forest products, bamboo work or labour of any kind is their livelihood. The tribal people depend on forests for their livelihood and most of the rural people still depend on traditional medicine as a primary healthcare source. The paper highlights the rich plant resources and the vast wealth of ethnobotanical information available with the various tribes of the region. In this paper, some new and less known ethno medicinal uses of 55 plants species of Angiosperm belonging to 30 families, used by the tribes of district Koriya.(C.G.) to treat human in different ailments have been reported.
