  • 1 BIODATA Born to a Family of Theatre Practioners and Painters, Ashes Was Inherently Inspired to Think of the World in Terms Of
    BIODATA Born to a family of theatre practioners and painters, Ashes was inherently inspired to think of the world in terms of colour. As he grew up, he took to the brush quite naturally. This passion for colours , both on and off canvas, prompted him to pursue a theoretical formulation of colour-usage- colour response application in te xtual space for his doctoral thesis. His love for the North East of India, his homeland, has been the stimulus behind much of his academic and critical work ranging from situating Mamang Dai’s poetry in an authentic NE philosophic and aesthetic paradigm to analyzing the mnemonics of recall foregrounding refugee narratives and comprehending the plebian banter at work in subverting divinity as a remote construct in popular dance performances by the subalterns. As a professor in the department of English, Tripura University, Ashes has been trying to promote NE literature and culture persistently. In his capacity as a documentary film maker on aspects of NE and Tripura, he has created a rich audio-visual archive of lesser known aspects of his homeland. His academic endeavor has been to interrogate the notion of perceived marginality attributed to the North East and to counter such ‘mainstream motives’ by circumscribing an academic and cultural space with NE as the centre. Having widely travelled Ashes has represented the NE and Tripura across various lit. fests such as Goa Art and Literature Fest, Kaziranga Lit. Fest. Guwahati, Rivertalks Guwahati, World Book Fair N. Delhi, Converse Gangtok, to name a few. His remarkable literary works include Colourscapes: Theorising Colours, The Fragrant Joom-Translation of Modern Kokborok Poetry to English, The Fragrant Joom Revisited: A Translation of Modern Kokborok Poetry to English; The Mystic Mountain: An Anthology of Tripura Bangla Poetry in English, The Golden Rendezvous, Phoenix etal.

  • Urban Development Department Government of Tripura Conceptual
    Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report Urban Development Department Government of Tripura Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report Dharmanagar Prepared By: Vishwakarma 86C, Topsia Road (South) Kolkata, West Bengal 1 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report 1.0 Introduction Dharmanagar is a District town and a Municipal Council in the North East of India and the North Tripura District of the State of Tripura, India. Most of the known history of Dharmanagar is derived from the ancient Rajmala scripts, which is ancient Royal chronicles of the Kings of Tripura, written in the 14th century. The origin of the name ‘Dharmanagar’ cannot be traced back in time. The Rajmala refers to at least four unknown ancient kings whose names include the word ‘Dharma’. Dharmanagar is a city with extreme natural beauty. The city is located in the western hemisphere of the State of Tripura. At present Dharmanagar is bound by Maulvi Bazar of Sylhet, Bangladesh in the North, Karimganj District of Assam in the East, Mizoram state in the South and Kailashahar of Unakoti District in the West. The North Tripura District is famous for several tourist attractions such as Rowa Wild-Life Santuary, Jampui H ills etc. The Jampui Hills are famous for natural beauty, climate and orange garden. The iconic Kalibari is located in the heart of the city of Dharmanagar. Dharmanagar is blessed with a peaceful climate most of the year. The nearest airport to Dharmanagar is in Silchar and further afield Agartala. There are also helicopter services, daily bus services and train services, which connects the city to the capital of the state.

  • Quantitative Assessment of Water of Rudrasagar Lake, Tripura, India
    Available online www.ejaet.com European Journal of Advances in Engineering and Technology, 2016, 3(3): 45-48 Research Article ISSN: 2394 - 658X Quantitative Assessment of Water of Rudrasagar Lake, Tripura, India Joyanta Pal 1, Manish Pal 1, Pankaj Kumar Roy 2and Asis Mazumdar 2 1 Department of Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology Agartala, India 2School of Water Resource Engineering, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India [email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Rudrasagar Lake is one of the prominent tourist destinations in north eastern part of India which surrounds Neermahal Palace. It is also declared as Ramsar site (i.e. a wetland of international importance). The surrounding Lake area was initially developed based on the fishing activity in the lake, although later on people started agricultural activity too. People in the surrounded village area of the Lake mainly use groundwater for fulfilling their water demand, in spite of the presence of the Lake. Even for irrigation purpose groundwater is used. Moreover, treated water is not available to all the households in the nearby village area. Whereas the excess water of the lake is discharged into the river, through connecting Kachigang channel, without proper utilization. In this study a quantitative assessment of water of Rudrasagar lake has been done for possible use of drinking and Irrigation etc. For the evaluation of quantity of water, the hydrologic simulation model has been used using HEC- HMS software. From the observation of model discharge of the Lake water, for various season viz. Pre Monsoon, Monsoon and Post monsoon during the period 2006-2015, it has been found that minimum discharge is 0.41m3/s during pre monsoon and maximum discharge is 6.77m3/s during monsoon.

  • Rural Tourism in Tripura
    Rural South Asian Studies, Vol. 1, No.1, 2015 RURAL TOURISM IN TRIPURA Dr. Ruma Bhattacharya; Asstt.Prof. Govt. Degree College, Sonamura, Tripura (West), India Abstract: The concept of Modern Tourism is not more than half a century old. The contemporary world has become small due to the inventions brought out by the science and technology. Travel and communication has become very easy and convenient. Tourism has become one of the most flourishing industries in the world. International tourism has grown steadily since 1950. The revenue from international tourism means a lot to the host country as it is contributed by foreign visitors in foreign exchange. This becomes very useful for the host country for its economic and infrastructure development. The World Tourism Organisation (WTO) estimates that international tourist arrivals will exceed 160 crores by the year 2020. Tourism has become so important and competitive that about 150 countries have set up National Tourist Organisations to attract foreign tourists to their countries and also to encourage their own people to travel within their own country. Keywords: Agartala, Agricultural Sites, National, North-East, Tourism In India with the establishment of Tourism Development Council after 1958 that greater synergy was obtained between various tourism providers, the State Governments, the national carrier, and the travel industry. The economic importance of tourism was formally recognized in the fourth five year plan with emphasis towards international tourism and creation of tourist infrastructure. The first attempt to formulate a ‘National Tourism Policy’ was in the year 1982 when a paper on tourism policy was presented before the parliament, which set long-term direction and purpose to tourism development and promotion in India.
