The mobile app, M-STrIPES, used for surveillance and patrolling of tiger-populated areas has played a major role in this. M-STrIPES (Monitoring System For Tigers-Intensive Protection and Ecological Status) This app was developed by the National Tiger Conservation Authority and the Wildlife Institute of India in 2010. M-STrIPES allows patrol teams to keep a better tab on suspicious activity while also mapping the patrolling, location, routes and timings of forest officials. The App was also used in the All India-Tiger Estimation. Dudhwa Tiger Reserve The Dudhwa Tiger Reserve is a protected area in Uttar Pradesh that stretches mainly across the Lakhimpur Kheri and Bahraich districts.

  • Study Sponsored by Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Agro-Economic Research Centre University of Allahabad Allahabad-211002
    Study No. 143 Publication No. 192 FFFaFaaarrrrmermer Suicides ininin Uttar Pradesh Prof. Ramendu Roy Dr. H.C. Malviya Haseeb Ahmad Study Sponsored by Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Agro-Economic Research Centre University of Allahabad Allahabad-211002 January- 2017 [1] PREFACE India is basically an agrarian country because more than 60 percent population of the country resides in rural areas and their main occupation is agriculture. Besides this, the livelihood of majority of population of rural areas of the country is also depended on the agriculture. However, the agriculture is still a gamble of monsoon. It is an uncertain and un-predictable occupation because it still depends on weather condition. The drought, flood, heavy rains, hail storm, etc are the common phenomena in the country. These are causes of failure of crops. On account of failure of crops, the indebtedness is also increasing among the farmers. More than70% of total farmers of the country are marginal and small farmers who are mostly in the debt trap. The crop failure, indebtedness, illness, family problems, drug abuser etc are reasons for famers’ suicides in the country. In spite of doing all efforts, the incidence of farmers’ suicides is not being stopped yet in the country. The incidences of farmers’ suicide mostly occurred in Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Chhattisgarh. These are most prone states for incidence of farmers’ suicides. However, it is also a global phenomena. Sri. Lanka, USA, Canada, England and Australia are also in the grip of incidence of farmers’ suicides. Out of total farmers suicides of 5650 in 2014 in India the maximum share accounted for 45.45% in Maharashtra followed by 15.90%, 14.62%, 7.80%, and 5.68% in Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Karnataka respectively.
