Seminar on Apiculture and uses of honey and Bee culture Mr. T K Ravidran and Mr.Suguthan Venue: Auditorium Date: 20/2/16 Apiculture is perceived as a hobby but often resilient livelihood – one that keeps people out of poverty. In rural communities where access to income is limited, small-scale beekeeping can contribute significantly to livelihood security. Apiculture and related trades tends to be underplayed in both policy and planning. In order to overcome the dearth of talented youngsters and encourage the students to take up apiculture as a hobby first, a seminar was organised on the topic by the department of Botany. The meeting commenced by evoking the name of god. Dr. Sr. Tessy Joseph welcomed the gathering. Principal Fr.

Invited Talk on Apiculture for Rural livelihood Mr. Benny Daniel, Programme Manager, Horticorp, Thiruvananthapuram Venue: Auditorium Date: 15/03/2016 Apiculture is an important art because it provides bees with a safe place to work and live. Since bees pollinate many of our food sources, it's important to keep the bee population healthy. Additionally, apiculture provides an environment in which to study bee habitat and behavior. The department of botany conducts workshops and training programs on apiculture to promote this art both as hobby as means to livelihood. 5 The meeting commenced by evoking the name of god.

New technologies to obtain data such as deployment of temporary sensors and remote sensing practices to support modeling are also presented. Extensive storm surge modeling applications have been made with existing modeling systems and some of them are described in this chapter. The authors recognize the importance of evaluating river-ocean interactions in coastal envi- ronments during tropical cyclones. Therefore, the coupling of hydraulic (riverine) and storm surge models is discussed. In addition, results from studies performed in the coast of India are shown which generated maps to help emergency managers and reduce risk due to coastal inundation.

  • Storm Surge Modelling for the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea
    Nat Hazards (2009) 51:3–27 DOI 10.1007/s11069-009-9397-9 ORIGINAL PAPER Storm surge modelling for the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea S. K. Dube Æ Indu Jain Æ A. D. Rao Æ T. S. Murty Received: 30 July 2008 / Accepted: 8 April 2009 / Published online: 12 May 2009 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract Most of the countries around the North Indian Ocean are threatened by storm surges associated with severe tropical cyclones. The destruction due to the storm surge flooding is a serious concern along the coastal regions of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Oman. Storm surges cause heavy loss of lives and property damage to the coastal structures and losses of agriculture which lead to annual economic losses in these countries. About 300,000 lives were lost in one of the most severe cyclones that hit Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) in November 1970. The Andhra Cyclone devas- tated part of the eastern coast of India, killing about 10,000 persons in November 1977. More recently, the Chittagong cyclone of April 1991 killed 140,000 people in Bangladesh, and the Orissa coast of India was struck by a severe cyclonic storm in October 1999, killing more than 15,000 people besides enormous loss to the property in the region. These and most of the world’s greatest natural disasters associated with the tropical cyclones have been directly attributed to storm surges. The main objective of this article is to highlight the recent developments in storm surge prediction in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.
