  • Assessment of Water Quality of Lungding Stream Through Biomonitoring
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2016): 79.57 | Impact Factor (2017): 7.296 Assessment of Water Quality of Lungding Stream through Biomonitoring Nilu Paul1, A. K. Tamuli2, R. Teron3, J. Arjun4 1Department of Zoology, Lumding College, Lumding, Assam, India 2Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University Diphu Campus, Diphu, Assam, India 3Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University Diphu Campus, Diphu, Assam, India 4Department of Zoology, Lumding College, Lumding, Assam, India Abstract: Stream ecosystem biomonitoring has been widely used to assess the status of water. It provides information on the health of an ecosystem based on which organisms live in a waterbody. The benthic community is dependent on its surrounding and therefore, it serves as an indicator that reflects the overall condition of the ecosystem. Among the commonly used biomoniting approaches, biotic indices and multimetric approaches are most frequently used to evaluate the environment health of streams and rivers. The macro invertebrate fauna and physico-chemical parameters of Lungding stream of Dima Hasao district were studied seasonally from March 2017 to February 2018. A total of 13 species of benthic invertebrate fauna belonging to three phyla (Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca), five classes (Hirudinea, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Crustacea, Insecta) and thirteen families (Hirudinidae, Physidae, Anomidae, Gammaridae,Panaediae, Baetidae Aeshnidae, Belostometidae, Hydrophilidae, Chaoboridae, Chironomidae) were found in the Lungding stream during the study. Gastropoda was predominant (23.71 %) followed by Crustacea, Bivalvia and Hirudinidae with percentage composition of 19%, 16.59% and 11.42% respectively. Among Insects, Dipteran midges (Chaoboridae) with 8.84% were the dominant group.

  • District Hiv/Aids Epidemiological Profiles
    DISTRICT HID/AIDS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILES Developed using data triangulation Assam Factsheet 2014 Assam State AIDS Control Society Khanapara, Guwahati-22 Foreword The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies. However, the district level focus of the programme demands consolidated information that helps better understand HIV/AIDS scenario in each district, to enable effective targeting of prevention and treatment interventions to the vulnerable population groups and geographic areas. This technical document prepared by the SIMU division of Assam SACS is a follow up exercise of the detailed District epidemiological profiles report 2013 prepared using the information collected and analyzed during the data triangulation exercise conducted during 2011-12. The 2013 report provided useful information support to the district level health functionaries but at the same time we were informed that a concise report will be even better. So, keeping this in mind, the 2014 report is being prepared in a factsheet format which is adapted from the District Epidemiological factsheets prepared by NACO and using updated information. The reports are prepared by some of the ICTC, PPTCT, Blood bank and STI counselors who are supported by a group of Public Health experts from medical colleges and state programme officials and we are grateful to each of them for their support in this activity.

Identity has always been a subject of much contestation. Situating this core thesis within the diverse socio-political landscape of the North Eastern region of India, the paper seeks to explore the Accomodationist policy of the Government of India to 'manage' various ethnic identities through multiple provisions that have been incorporated into the Constitution of India. One such Constitutional Provision is the Sixth Schedule that provides for the administration of particular tribal areas as autonomous entities--as Autonomous District Councils. The paper is based on a study that was undertaken to understand the efficacy and functioning of the Autonomous Council of the Dima Hasao district (previously known as North Cachar Hills) of the state of Assam, in the year 2006. Qualitative research methods were adopted to collate information on the various aspects of the administration, history and functioning of the Dima Hasao Autonmous District Council.
