Models were developed integrating monthly NDVI with weather and non-weather variables at block-level for the period 2006 to 2015. The model correlation obtained was 0.702 with MSE 0.01. Though the weather variables vs NDVI models are quite satisfactory, NDVI vs kharif rice yield models however, show relatively less correlation, about 0.6 revealing the requirement of varied additional farmer-controlled inputs. Development of NDVI vs crop yield models for different crop growth stages or fortnightly over a larger data set with selective adding of weather and non-weather variables to NDVI would be the most appropriate.

Complex, H.I.T. Campus, Hatiberia, Haldia – 721657, Purba Medinipur, West Bengal, India [email protected] Abstract: The interaction of subsurface water with the surface water depends mainly on the geological and geomorphological setting of the landscape. Various geological and physiographic characteristics play a major role at different levels in the occurrence and movement of groundwater in any terrain. Water resources in the Rupnarayan-Dwarakeshwar basin are unevenly distributed in spatio- temporal domain. Here terrain parameters steer the discharge and recharge mechanism of ground water and it is observable in the water table fluctuation in the spatial domain. In this research, the application of satellite images proved to be very useful in identifying the landform characteristics of the study area. The study reveals the fact of low groundwater depth at the hard rock terrain and high depth of the same at the river mouth. The average depth of ground water of the basin is reported to be 4-8 metres below ground level.

    Petrological Characteristics of Barakar Coal Seams, Metamorphosed by Lamprophyre Sill in the Jharia Coalfield, Bihar*

    PETROLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BARAKAR COAL SEAMS, METAMORPHOSED BY LAMPROPHYRE SILL IN THE JHARIA COALFIELD, BIHAR* BY H. S. PAREEK (Geological Survey of India, Lucknow) Received June 15, 1965 (Comunicated by Mr. B. Rama Ran, F.A.S¢.) ABSTRACT In the Jhatia Coalfield, Bihar, dykes and sills of mica lamprophyre are common and have thermally metamorphosed the coal seams in contact into natural coke. Petrological study of the metamorphosed zones of the coal seams in the south-eastern extremity of the coalfield has been carried out. Four petrologically distinct zones designated as natural coke, coked coal, affected coal and unaffected coal are traced, when studied away from the contact. Chemically, a marked increase of volatiles and decrease of ash is recorded away from the seam-igneous contact. Phosphorus content is quite high in the natural coke ash. The natural coke is characterised by numerous mineral-filled or empty vacuoles and strongly anisotropic, highly-reflecting nature of the fused matrix having physically unaltered fusinite embedded. The fused matrix is of mosaic appearance and consists of ill-defined units varying from one to fifty microns size. In the coked coal, the size and number of vacuoles has considerably reduced, and so also, the anisotropism and mosaic appear- ance of the matrix, accompanied by an increase in size of the units around fifty microns. The affected coal is distinctly folded, though minutely, and is micro-laminated, the lamination being due to occurrence of vitrinite layers and sheets with interbedoed fusinite, semifusinite, resinite and micri- nitc. The vesicles occur here and there. Resinite is seen in cleats and as coalesced films migrated along the bedding.

The maximum savings bank accounts are opened for getting payment for MGNREGA project, student scholarships from school, Kanyashree from school and college college or getting subsidies for LPG. A minimum number of savings accounts are opened otherwise and for micro savings or getting bank loans.Most of the villages under Lego Gram Panchayat have at least one savings bank account in Mallabhum Gramin Bank , Bankura District Central Co-operative Bank or Punjab National Bank, or State Bank of India, or Bank of India or Post Office Savings Bank of Lego Post Office. Now consider how many people are utilised banking services for their livelihood? Whether their standards of living improved due financial inclusion, or whether they get more loans from banks for meeting their needs or whether their savings have been deposited with the banks-these are some questions which need to be investigated to know the real impact of financial inclusion.The main purpose of the present paper is to find out the factors that stand in the way of getting the full benefits of financial inclusion in village of the study area of West Bengal.Key Words- Financial Inclusion, Banking Products, Information gap * Associate Professor in Commerce, Chatra Ramai Pandit Mahavidyalaya, Darapur, Bankura.

The investigation also incorporates all the relevant data to evaluate early mediaeval remains from a historical perspective. The synthesized database contributed further in the recognition of spatial units of the region concerned to interpret ideological bearing and the development of socio-political structure in a given cultural framework. The presence of Jain, Buddhist and Brahmanical mode of appreciation associated with our findings is also studied here in order to highlight the changing context of a settlement character. Key words: Chhotanagpur Plateau, Bhum, Temple, Saivism, Saktism The location of Durgapur and Asansol region, roughly between 23º25' and 23º53'N and 86º48' and 87º32'E in the modern district of Burdwan in West Bengal, has always appeared to me for several reasons crucial to an understanding of the regional history and archaeology of eastern India. On one hand, this rolling track consisting of different geomorphological features, at a micro level, is essentially an extension of Chhotanagpur plateau (situated at the Bihar-Bengal border). At the same time, the territory lies in the middle of the Damodar-Ajay basin which extends eastwards into the fertile plain of the lower Gangetic valley. Interestingly, except towards the east the region is bounded by rivers on all the three other sides: on the west and south the rivers Barakar and Damodar form its boundaries whereas the river Ajay and its tributaries mark the boundary of the north and the north-east.

Alluvial soil is present in parts of Burdwan, Midnapore anq Bankura districts but the forest resources are mainly confmed to lateritic and red soils. An inventory of the forest resources in these districts was carried out in 1981-82. The present inventory has been undertaken during 1991-92 with the objective of evaluating the present status of forest resources in these districts and estimating the distribution, composition, density, growing stock and growth of the forest crop. The report incorporates details· of the area survey~ methodology adopted, results/findings and comparison with the last survey. The recorded forest area of these districts totals to 4503 sq.km. which is about 11.60% of the geographic area. TIle total forest cover in these districts has been estimated to be in the region of 2400 sq.km.

    Ph.D. thesis: Study area: Ecofloristic survey of aquatic and marshy land angiosperms of Paschim Medinipur district, West Bengal, India. 3. Study Area: 3.1 Total geographical Area Paschim Medinipur, situated in the southern portion of West Bengal, has been fixed from the former Medinipur district, the then biggest district of India, and approached into existence in the present form since 1st January 2002. It is located between 22° 57' 10" and 21° 36' 35" North latitude and between 88° 12' 40" and 86° 33' 50" East longitude. Paschim Medinipur is restricted by the Bankura district from the northern side and the Purba Medinipur district from the southeastern side. The southern boundary of the district is merged with Balasore and Mayurbhanj district of Orissa and western boundary is merged with Singbhum and the eastern district of Jharkhand. According to Survey of India, the entire geographical range of Paschim Medinipur district in 2001 (9.75 thousand sq. km.) accounted for 11.01 % of the entire geographical part of the state (88.75 thousand sq. km). The total forest region of the district was 1.70 thousand sq. km. Which accounted for 14.31 % of the entire forest part of the state (11.88 thousand sq. km.). Inhabited villages (over 7500) of the district show highly differential features and indicators of human development. While there are pockets agglomerations of highly prosperous and developed villages in the eastern portion of the district, there are also villages of distress in the western part. 637 villages have been identified by the Government of West Bengal as backward villages that belong mostly to the western part.
