Gopi Technical Director & Scientist 'E', Puducherry UT , National Informatics Centre, Swaminathan Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India Dr. Dev Ratna State Informatics Officer & Scientist 'F', Puducherry UT, National Informatics Centre, Shukla Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India ABSTRACT The Direct benefit Transfer (DBT) system launched by Government of India to ensure that benefits go to individuals' bank accounts electronically, minimizing multiple layers involved in fund flow thereby reducing delay in payment, ensuring accurate targeting of the beneficiary and curbing pilferage and duplication. In Public Distribution System, the system has been implemented to beneficiaries identified under National Food Security Act, 2013 in Union Territories of Government of India for providing Food security. Puducherry UT, with 1.64 lakhs families has been operational since September 2015. Although the small size of the U.T., the geographical locations of the four regions among the three Southern States of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh in India with three different spoken languages poses a real challenge for planners. Particularly, in Public distribution system, there are many challenges due to various issues in storage and transshipment points of these regions like theft en route, multiple handling, poor quality of gunny bags as well as the loss of moisture, insect-pest and disease infestation, spillage of grain from gunny bags etc. On the other hand, the banking industry has shown tremendous growth in volume and complexity during the last few decades.

  • The Nagas: an Introduction
    The Nagas: An Introduction The Nagas: An Introduction The entry of the Nagas into the written history of the world can be dated to 24th February 1826. On that day representa- tives of the Kingdom of Burma and the British military signed the Treaty of Yandabo, in which Burma renounced all claims to Assam and Manipur. The westward policy of expansion pursued by Burma – at that time the most pow- erful kingdom in Southeast Asia – had begun in the 1780s when Burmese troops occupied the independent Kingdom of Arakan and reached for the first time the eastern border of the British Indian Empire, which corresponds fairly exactly with the present-day borders of Bangladesh and North Ben- gal. In 1817 the Burmese invaded Assam and in 1819 the in- dependent Kingdom of Manipur. In 1823 they also annexed the Kingdom of Cachar, a strategic area for invading Bengal. In March of the following year, Britain officially declared war on Burma, a war which ended two years later with the aforementioned Treaty of Yandabo. Gradually Britain occu- pied the whole of Assam and intensified its diplomatic and military relations with Manipur, which was intended to have a key position in monitoring and if need be defending the border between Burma and the British sphere of influence. British India had reached the foot of the Naga Hills – the southeastern foothills of the Himalayas in the present bor- der triangle of India, Burma and China, which at that time was covered in jungle. The first Nagas with whom the British came in contact were the Tengima (Hutton 1914: 476).
