Brief progress report of the first quarter As the part of project implementation (as per the rules and guidelines of the university), the process of formation of various committees was completed with due approval from honourable Vice Chancellor of GGSIPU during April-May 2018. The following committees were formed: Sl. No Committee Date of Approval 1 Project Implementing Committee 17/05/2018 2 Purchase Committee 17/05/2018 3 Recruitment Committee 17/05/2018 Recruitment Recruitment of one JRF and one Assistant has been completed and they are working on data collection in the field. Purchase Purchase of some equipments such as computer, camera, etc has been done. Other small equipments are to be purchased soon. Site selection As of now few villages have been selected as model traditional villages. They are Peh Village, Talui Village and Lunghar Villages. Final selection will be done shortly. The total population of the village is around 12000. The neighbouring are Marem, Kuirei, Kalhang, Marangphungi Paorei, Varangrai, Phungcham, Longbi Khamasom, Somdal, Hoome, Chingjui (Chingjaroi), Phaibung, etc. Two perennial rivers; Rangazakkong and Mashakong flow in the eastern and western side of the village respectively, providing abundant source of water for terrace agricultural field and animals. Agriculture is the primary occupation of the villagers with rice paddy cultivation in permanent terraced fields at riverside and hill slope and varieties of crops in shifting agricultural fields. Rice is the stable food of the villagers. The village is home to various flora and fauna species. Literacy rate of these village are 76-80%. Characterization of ecosystem diversity in the village landscapes Reconnaissance survey of the field for selection of study site was carried out during June- July 2018. Simultaneously, the literature review work is being carried out along with other field work. The main land use/cover types existing in the project site and also can be classified at field level on the basis of participatory observation were: 1. Forest (i) Highly disturbed: Some of the sites in the forests are highly disturbed mainly by human beings (anthropogenic origin) for various activities such as removal of large amounts of biomass in the form of wood for timber, fuel and agriculture. These areas are also affected by fire by the villagers for agricultural and hunting activities. (ii) Moderately disturbed: Minor or moderately forest disturbances are caused by human induced fire, landslides, windstorms and selective extraction of wood for timber and fuel purposes. The cattle including buffaloes and cows also cause disturbances to some extent. (iii) Least disturbed: There are small patches of forest where the disturbance is minimal or negligible. Such sites are those areas where human and cattle accessibility is not possible such as deep slope, gorges, etc. These are located at far places at a distance of several kilometers away from human habitation. 2. Agricultural land use (i) Wet paddy fields (WPF) (a) WPF at riverside (irrigated): There are perennial small rivers flowing from north to south direction. On both side of the riverbed are located wet paddy fields. These fields are grown with rice paddy as monocrop. The fields are irrigated from this river. (b) WPF on slopeland (partly irrigated, partly rainfed): On the gentle slopes, there located partially irrigated wet paddy field. The sources of water are small streams on the hillside. However, such stream cannot supply enough water for rice paddy. This shortage of water is supplemented by frequent rainfall. Rice is grown as monocrop in these fields too. (ii) Shifting agriculture: Shifting agriculture in this part of the country has been practicing since time immemorial. Over a period of time some of the farmers have change mode of cultivation with slight alteration in terms of practice and crop composition 3. Fallow lands of different ages (5-7 years) After a land is cultivated for a period of two/three years, it is abandoned for natural regeneration for a period of five to seven years. This land use is suitable for cattle grazing as the new grasses and vegetation started coming out. Since goats are not reared in the study area, the grazing animals do not cause much harm to the regenerating vegetation since buffaloes and cows are considered to be moderate grazers. 4. Home garden It is traditional for all households to have home garden at courtyard of the dwelling places. This land use is of great significance in terms of not only its productivity but in situ repository and conservation of rich germplasm of cultivated crops and medicinal plants. These crops are of various kinds such as vegetables, spices, fruits and medicinal plants. 5.

  • Chapter Vii Settlement and Subsistence Patterns
    CHAPTER VII SETTLEMENT AND SUBSISTENCE PATTERNS CHAPTER VII SETTLEMENT PATTERNS AND SUBSISTENCE 7.1. SETTLEMENT PATTERN Chang (1958: 229) differentiates settlement pattern into two types: (i) Settlement pattern, strictly defined, means the manner in which human settlements are arranged over the landscape in relation to physiography and environment; and (ii) it is the manner in which the inhabitants arranged their various structures within the community and the way the communities are arranged in the 'aggregate' which means a gathering of certain number of communities bound by social, political, military, commercial or religious times. There are many definitions for settlement patterns given by Willey (1953: 155) and so on. Here Sanders' (1956: 105) definition will serve our purpose. According to him "the study of settlement patterns is a study of the ecological and demographic aspects of culture." He equates settlement patterns with human ecology since it is concerned with the distribution of population over the landscape and investigation of the reasons behind their distribution. Studies made so far indicate that all human activities assumed an orderly arrangement in space and they tended to arrange themselves about given points. Hauley (1950: 236-237) traces the reasons of this fact to three fundamental life conditions, namely, interdependence among the individuals, dependence of activities or functions on various characteristics of land, and friction of space. The first two accounts for the tendency for a pattern to develop, while the third affects the size and specific shape the pattern assumes. The first condition exercises an attractive force and leads to concentration of settlements while the second exerts a disruptive influence and 178 leads to distribution of men and their activities.

  • NAGALAND and Th. Muivah's Terrorist Activities
    NAGALAND AND Th. Muivah’s terrorist Activities By W. Shapwon 1 Copy right © 2005 by: W. Shapwon Heimi All rights reserved. First edition in August 2005. Printed 3000 copies. Revised and added more terror acts of NSCN-IM from 2005 to 2010 with some photos in 2010 2 PREFACE I am constrained to write this book so as to let our people know what had gone wrong in the running history of the Naga nation. It is an undeniable historical fact that if Thuingaleng Muivah and Isak Chishi Swu, the then (1980) General Secretary of the Naga National Council and Finance Minister of the Federal Government of Nagaland had not deviated from the Naga national stand and policy, no fratricidal killing would be taken place in the history of the Naga nation. However, Th. Muivah and Isak had fallaciously portrayed that they have saved the Naga nation from doom by forming the so-called National Socialist Council of Nagaland in 1980. They also projected that the bloody partition took place among the Nagas was because of the NNC and FGN betrayed the Naga nation by signing the Shillong Accord in 1975. Believing their words, some Naga NGO leaders and some Church leaders have given their fullest support to Isak and Muivah thinking that they had taken the right step and saved Nagaland. And so, following Th. Muivah’s false allegation on the NNC and FGN they have been stating that: “The NNC/FGN signed the infamous Shillong Accord and thereby divided the Naga political movement.” “The NNC/FGN based at the Kohima Transit Peace Camp has caused needless damage to the NNC and Naga unity.” “The Shillong Accord or the NNC is the most damaging factor of the Naga Nation”, etc.
