Most of these reports were based on sickling test only. (Table '^. 1 . 1) . In Maharashtra, about 20'/. population is of either scheduled tribes or scheduled caste, (Scheduled means as per the list enclosed in scheduled of the constitution of India.) Many of these tribal and caste groupes have not been studied systematicaly. Hence study was undertaken to assas the distribution of sickle cell hemoglobin in different tribal, scheduled caste and other caste groups. In Maharashtra, a peculiar caste system exists which in turn reflects the caste system that is followed in India for last hundreds of years. All these castes are endogemous and no marriage is permitted in between the two castes. This system is divided into 3 major groups. 1. Upper caste groups- These include Maratha, Brahmin which were ruling this a.rea,. Their socio economic status is high as compaired to other caste groups. They are land lords and their main occupation is farming and they are doing it with help of labourers from lower caste groups. ^8 INDIA Fig ^.i . i : Figure showing distribution of Sick c e hemoglobin in cliffpr-c?nt parts cif India. S. Scheduled caste groups- This group includes Navabudhas which were previously called as tiahar , Chambhar, Mang caste groups. These castes are socio-economical1y backward and they were considered untouchables by the upper caste groups. They were mainly doing labour work in farms owned by the upper class. 3. Scheduled Tribe groups- Tribals are the primitive, isolated population groups known as aboriginals (Adivasi). They are socioeconomically backward. They still ara confined to the forest hilly area of middle and north of Sahyadri ranges, Satpura and forest of central India (Nandad, Chandrapur, Yavatmal, Gadchiroli districts of Maharashtra.) They constitute about 9'/. of the total population of Maharashtra. They follow their own social systems and have remained aloof for long time from other rural and urban population groups. These people practice agriculture in the jungle tract and supplement it by gathering jungle products and selling them. The major tribal groups from Maharashtra comprise of Warli, Katkari, Thakur and Mahadeo Koli from Sahyadri region; Bhi11, Pawara and Kokana from Satpura region and; Pardhan, Madia, Gond, Kolam, Andha, Rajgond and Korku from Vidarbha region. -^9 Pawara Kolam Katkari Madia ^ig -^.l.E !

Most of the tribal groups are restricted to a particular area but scheduled caste groups are spread all over Maharashtra and hence scheduled caste groups were studied separataly from different geographic locations while in all other cases the caste or trjtjal groups were from same area. Fig ^.S.l and ^.2.2 is shows the different caste and tribal groups and their geographic location in Maharashtra. Total 11523 number of individuals were studied from 25 different caste or tribal groups. Sample collection: During each survey, random samples were collected after detailed cUnical eKaminatlon of each subject. For screening abnormal hemoglobins, samples were collected by finger prick method, with all necessary aseptic precautions. About 0.2 to 0.^ ml of blood was collected in 3 to ^ mL anticoagulated normal saline in a 75xl0mm glass test tube. These properly labelled samples were preserved on ice till further processing was undertaken. Analysis : All samples were centrifuged and saline was discarded. The cells were divided in to two parts. One part was hemolyzed using distilled water and haemolysate was used for hemoglobin electrophoresis using cellulose acetate membrane. After electrophoresis, whenever there were two bands or a 52 single band not corresponding to hemoglobin A, was taken as criteriaon for presence of abnormal hemoglobin, and the corresponding preserved cells were subjected to sickling test.( Fig ^.2.3) Whenever sickling test was negative, the sample was subjected to further analysis such as citrate agar gel electrophoresis. Whenever there was no electric supply available, erythrocytes were allowed to settle for E to 3 hours. Saline was removed carefully by pasture pipette and then cells were divided into two parts. One part was haemolyzed using distilled water and electrophoresis was performed using battery operated power pack. 53 Field laboratory o :>^ "O O u Oi u 3 -- e fO IT X) 3 -. ^ It -^ I.

However, in recent years, while declining HIV trends are evident at the national level as well as in most of the States, some low prevalence and vulnerable States have shown rising trends, warranting focused prevention efforts in specific areas. 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.

  • Conflict, Violence, Causes and Effects of Naxalism: in Vidarbha
    Volume: 5 | Issue: 11 | November 2019 || SJIF Impact Factor: 5.614||ISI I.F Value: 1.188 ISSN (Online): 2455-3662 EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR) Peer Reviewed Journal CONFLICT, VIOLENCE, CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF NAXALISM: IN VIDARBHA Dr. Deoman S. Umbarkar Assistant Professor, Dept. of Sociology, Late V.K. College, Rohana, Tah. Arvi, Distt. Wardha, Maharashtra, India. ABSTRACT This paper poses two questions : is it a fact that there is more violence in Naxalite (i.e. Maoist) affected districts compared to districts which are free of Naxalite activity? can the fact that Naxalite activity exists in some districts of India but not in others, be explained by differences between districts in their economic and social conditions? Using a number of sources, this study identifies districts in India in which there was significant Naxalite activity. Correlating these findings with district level economic, social and crime indicators, the econometric results show that, after controlling for other variables, Naxalite activity in a district had, if anything, dampening effect on its level of violent crime and crimes against women. Furthermore, even after controlling for other variables, the probability of a district being Naxalite affected rose with an increase in its poverty rate and fell with a rise in its literacy rate. So, one prong in an anti-Naxalite strategy would be to address the twin issues of poverty ad illiteracy in India. As the simulations reported in the paper show, this might go a considerable way in ridding districts of Naxalite presence. INTRODUCTION Naxalisem is a crucial problem now a day's A Naxal or Naxalite is a member of the facing by tribal's as well as common person.

A committee comprising most of the local persons having the feel of the hostile terrain and the terror-filled atmosphere visited the ground zero and engaged the locals including the families of the terrorists killed, and the Naxal-harassed populace. Here is the detailed report on the encounter. BACKGROUND Gadchiroli with its thick forests touching the borders of Andhra Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh has become notorious for the concentration of the Left Wing Extremists for almost five decades. Because of the hostile terrains and difficulties in reaching out to the remote areas, Gadchiroli provided easy passage to the extremists to move freely from Andhra Pradesh to MP and Chattisgarh. Hostile terrains with dense forests, poverty-stricken Adivasis, and alleged indifference of the government officials earlier was conducive in making the region a hotbed of the Maoist movement.

    Aspects of Gond Astronomy1 M N Vahia1 and Ganesh Halkare2 1Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai 400 005 2Indrayani Colony, Amravati, 444 607 Summary: The Gond community is considered to be one of the most ancient tribes of India with a continuing history of several thousand years. They are also known for their largely isolated history which they have retained through the millennia. Several of their intellectual traditions therefore are a record of parallel aspects of human intellectual growth. It still preserves its original flavour and is not homogenised by later traditions of India. In view of this, they provide a separate window to the different currents that constitute contemporary India. In the present study, we summarise their mythology, genetics and script. We then investigate their astronomical traditions and try to understand this community through a survey of about 15 Gond villages spread over Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. We show that they have a distinctly different view of the skies from the conventional astronomical ideas which is both interesting and informative. We briefly comment on other aspects of their life as culled from our encounters with the members of the Gond community Introduction: Gonds are the largest of Indian tribes with a net population between 4 and 5 million spread over north Andhra Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra, eastern Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and western Orissa (Deogaonkar, 2007 p 14-17). While their precise history cannot be dated before 890 AD (Deogaonkar, 2007, p 37), their roots are certainly older. Origin of the Gonds Mehta (1984) has studied the Gonds from different perspectives and also their history and mythology in detail (Mehta, 1984, p 105 – 166).
