From the Chairman
UK Committee for Dr Graham’s Homes, Kalimpong, India FINAL UPDATE ON THE UK EARTHQUAKE APPEAL FUND The work to repair the Steel Memorial Centre is almost finished. The cost was met by donations made to the UK Earthquake Appeal Fund Newsletter of the UK Committee December 2014 1 Charity recognised in Scotland SC 016341 UK Committee for Dr Graham’s Homes, Kalimpong, India A reminder of the damage after the earthquake in September 2011 Calcutta Cottage A dormitory Steel Memorial Centre Cracks to a classroom window arch 2 Charity recognised in Scotland SC 016341 UK Committee for Dr Graham’s Homes, Kalimpong, India CHAIRMAN’S REPORT James Simpson Since I last reported to you, some important changes have taken place at The Homes. You will recall that as a result of the unexpected hospitalisation and subsequent retiral in June of our Principal, Mrs Hilda Peacock, the Homes was precipitated into an unforeseen leadership and management crisis. This has been solved for the moment by the arrival of two retired Indian Army officers, Colonel Prakash Thapa, as acting Principal, and Colonel Ashok Gogoi in the role of Head of Administration. Both are coping remarkably well with their entry into this very different world of academia! To meet them face-to-face for ourselves and to help them with their understanding both of the role of the Overseas Committees and of the interaction between Homes and Committees, Pat and I, accompanied by Treasurer Jim Gibson, visited Kolkata and Kalimpong this November. I am pleased that all parties are now working in harmony having established a personal understanding of one another’s roles! Whilst in India we attended a number of meetings with the Chairman of the Board and with individual Board Members, as well as being invited to take part in Board Meetings in both Kolkata and Kalimpong. -

It was unbearable!” recalls Pratap baje (grandfather), sipping his tea on a cold winter morning. “So many bees…so many different kinds! This whole valley would smell so good with the aroma of orange flowers. It was as if someone had sprayed some perfume!” The old farmer in his 80s was my host in the village I asked him about bees in the wild and he recalled of Zoom, Sikkim. Memories seemed to flash across the days when he would go honey hunting with his wrinkled face as he spoke. “I had three hives friends in the dense forest patches nearby. “If you and they would be full of honey this season. One go now you will not even find a dead bee.

DRR Workshops Compiled Report
Linking Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Sustainable Landscape Development Goals in the Eastern Himalaya Stakeholder Consultations on “Community perception of climate related disaster, preparedness and risk reduction A Report (Chungthang and Dzongu-North Sikkim; Rimbick and Darjeeling-Darjeeling) 2012 Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment Regional Office for Eastern Himalaya/Northeast India Gangtok, Sikkim 2012 I. Background Disaster struck the Sikkim on 18th September 2011, when a powerful earthquake (6.9 on the Richter scale) shook Darjeeling, Sikkim and Eastern Nepal. More than 75 people perished, with most of the casualties being reported from Sikkim. Again there was widespread infrastructural damage caused by over 300 new and reactivated landslides. Several villages in North Sikkim were completely destroyed, others were cut off due to damaged roads, and in others, important local water sources were lost permanently due to altered hydrology. In none of these cases were local communities or government agencies prepared to deal with the human suffering, financial loss and physical damage that followed. Nor, it appeared, had planning been responsive to known regional seismic and climate-related risks. In May 2009, tropical cyclone Aila swept over the Darjeeling Hills in West Bengal, India, pounding the steep hillsides with continuous rain for three days. The super-saturated soil cover liquefied and slid down-slope in dozens of locations. The storm claimed 25 lives in Darjeeling district and caused severe damage to roads, drains and other infrastructure. Some 300 villages in the Darjeeling Hills were affected and over 500 homes were damaged or destroyed. -

LIST OF SAR EQUIPMENTS.............................................................. Pg. 91 - 92 1 INTRODUCTION Nature offers every thing to man. It sustains his life. Man enjoys the beauties of nature and lives on them. But he also becomes a victim of the fury of nature. Natural calamities like famines and floods take a heavy toll of human life and property. Man seems to have little chance in fighting against natural forces. The topography of the district of Darjeeling is such that among the four sub-divisions, three sub-divisions are located in the hills where disasters like landslides, landslip, road blockade are often occurred during monsoon. On the other side, in the Siliguri Sub-Division which lies in the plain there is possibility of flood due to soil erosion/ embankment and flash flood. As district of Darjeeling falls under Seismic Zone IV the probability of earthquake cannot be denied. Flood/ cyclone/ landslide often trouble men. Heavy rains results in rivers and banks overflowing causing damage on a large scale. Unrelenting rains cause human loss. In a hilly region like Darjeeling district poor people do not have well constructed houses especially in rural areas. Because of incessant rains houses collapse and kill people. Rivers and streams overflow inundating large areas. Roads and footpaths are sub merged under water. -
