The study reveals that the institutes meant for the visually challenged should increase access, availability and funding for assistive technology through efforts and initiatives. Only one institute in Medinipur division i.e. Vivekananda Mission Asram (VMA) uses sufficient Braille resources and Assistive technology. -

Groundwater Arsenic Contamination in Murshidabad
IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399.Volume 13, Issue 6 Ser. II (June. 2019), PP 01-11 www.iosrjournals.org Groundwater Arsenic Contamination in Murshidabad, West Bengal: Current Scenario, Effects and Probable Ways of Mitigation with Special Reference to Majhyampur Water Treatment Plant, Murshidabad Soumyajit Halder Alumni, Department of Geography, Presidency College (University of Calcutta) Contact: 9836543514/9804652578 Abstract: Murshidabad district, West Bengal, is one of the most affected region of Arsenic Contamination in India where around 1/3 of population are directly or indirectly affected by this catastrophe. Around 24blocks (out of 26) are severely affected by the contamination. This paper tries to investigate the causes, socio economic impacts of arsenic contamination in the Murshidabad. It also tries to find the mitigation measures from this cumulative disaster with special reference to Majhyampur Surface based piped water supply scheme in Beldanga I Block. The study reveals that the Majhyampur Water treatment project make a great impact on Beldanga I Block but it is also true that the people of these area can’t afford this arsenic free water as it is costly. So a sustainable and holistic approach might free these people from this disaster.

Chapter-Iv- Impact of Social Sector Programmes
CHAPTER-IV- IMPACT OF SOCIAL SECTOR PROGRAMMES Introduction : Social development is inseparable from the cultural, economic, political in which it takes place. It cannot be pursued as a sectoral initiativein which social development is linked towards the wellbeing of all and for healthy and productive life. The social sector programmes increasingly recognize the responses to changing circumstances and the desire to achieve sustainable development. The social sector programmes are designed to have positive socio-economic impact on the beneficiary households besides fulfilling their minimum needs through infrastructural support. For this purpose, as stated earlier a total of 200 households of different categories were selected for in-depth analysis about the socio-economic impact. The micro level analysis have been carried out in ten villages of Midnapore and Birbhum districts of West Bengal. The midnapore district with a population of 83.32 lakhs and Birbhum district recorded 23.3 lakhs as per the 1991 census. The table 4.1 shows the population profile of the sample villages in both Midnapore and Birbhum district. 62 Table : 4.1 Population and literacy rate in Midnapore and Birbhum District.

Dst - Patent Facilitation Programme
DST - PATENT FACILITATION PROGRAMME 1 Genesis of Patent Facilitation Programme (PFP) of DST : Department of Science & Technology (DST) Government of India has been implementing Patent Facilitation Programme (PFP) from the year of 1995. Under the Programme Department has established Patent Facilitating Cell (PFC) at Technology, Information, Forecasting Assessment Council (TIFAC) (an autonomous body of the Department) and subsequently 26 Patent Information Centres (PICs) in various states. PFC's and PIC's are engaged in creating awareness and extend assistance on protecting Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) including patent, copyright, industrial design, geographical indication etc. at state level. These PICs have also established Intellectual Property Cells in Universities (IPCU’s) of their respective states to enlarge the network. As of now 142 IPCU’s have been created in different universities of the states. In addition, they are also mandated to provide assistance to the inventors from Govt. organizations, Central & State Universities, for patent searches to find out the potential and assessment of the invention. Further technical and financial assistance in filing, prosecuting and maintaining patents on sustained basis on behalf of Government R&D Institutes and Academic Institutions. The details of the activities with regard to various forms of Intellectual Property Rights carried out under the DST-Patent Facilitation Programme (PFP) during the last 3 years (2016-17 to 2018-19) are given in two tables below: Table 1 : PFC-TIFAC's Patent Facilitation Activities 2016-2017 to 2018-2019 S.
