Survey was conducted With current year progress to villages around Dampa tiger reserve. All the villages (15Nos) ( word limit 250 ) around dampa tiger reserve surveyed along with their co- ordinates.Finally six villages namely; Damparengpui, Khawhnai, Tuipuibari, Sherhmun, Teirei and West Phaileng were identified for further study. During the survey period, jhum land of selected villages were surveyed for cropping pattern, vegetation species composition and richness, mammals, herpetofauna, and bird diversity etc. using standard protocols. Study on vegetation on different age class of jhum land indicated a total 88 plants species. Out of which 41 tree species,17 shrub species,13 herb species, 5 fern species, 7 lianas species and 5 bamboo species. The patterns of dominance based on the IVI values of the tree, shrub and herb species indicate that in recent jhum (1-5 years fallow), Mcaranga indica (IVI 23.64) was the dominant tree species in middle age jhum (5-10 years fallow), Mcaranga indica (IVI 17.37) was the dominant tree species and in old age jhum (˃15 years fallow) schima wallichi (IVI 17.87) was the dominant tree.Mammals were observed based on indirect evidences, direct sighting, and camera trap. 11 mammalian species were recorded on jhum land of different age. Seven amphibians and four retiles were also recorded. Birds occurrence and abundance pattern was recorded on jhum land with age group of 0,1, 5, 10, 15, and >15 years. A total of 158 bird species belonging to 59 families were recorded which includes 11 winter visitors. 36 bird species were recorded in all four categories of sites.

  • Assam-Mizoram Border Dispute
    Assam-Mizoram Border Dispute drishtiias.com/printpdf/assam-mizoram-border-dispute Why in News Recently, Assam-Mizoram border witnessed firing over a territory dispute, which spotlights the long-standing inter-state boundary issues in the Northeast, particularly between Assam and the states which were carved out of it. Mizoram borders Assam’s Barak Valley and the boundary between present- day Assam and Mizoram is 165 km long. Both states border Bangladesh. Key Points 1/3 Ongoing Tussle: Residents of Lailapur village in Assam’s Cachar district clashed with residents of localities near Vairengte in Mizoram’s Kolasib district. Earlier in October 2020, a similar clash took place on the border of Karimganj (Assam) and Mamit (Mizoram) districts. Mizoram civil society groups blame “illegal Bangladeshis” (alleged migrants from Bangladesh) on the Assam side. Background: The boundary issue between present-day Assam and Mizoram dates back to the colonial era when inner lines were demarcated according to the administrative needs of British Raj. The issue could not be settled once and for all when the state was created in independent India. The result is both states continue to have a differing perception of the border. Mizoram was granted statehood in 1987 by the State of Mizoram Act, 1986. Assam became a constituent state of India in 1950 and lost much of its territory to new states that emerged from within its borders between the early 1960s and the early 1970s. The Assam-Mizoram dispute stems from a notification of 1875 that differentiated Lushai Hills from the plains of Cachar, and another of 1933 that demarcates a boundary between Lushai Hills and Manipur.

Carrying capacity is a concept that has been extensively applied in tourism and leisure studies since the 1960s, but its appearance can be date back to the 1930s. It may be viewed as an important thought in the eventual emergence of sustainability discussion, it has become less important in recent years as sustainability and its associated concepts have come to dominate planning on the management of tourism and its impacts. But the study of carrying capacity analysis is still an important tool to know the potentiality and future impact in tourism sector. Thus, up to some extent carrying capacity analysis is important study for tourist destinations and states like Mizoram. Mizoram is a small and young state with few thousands of visitors that visit the state every year.

Methodology: Surveys were conducted in different Rivers including the buffer zone of Dampa Tiger Reserve during the period of November, 2013 to May, 2014 and October, 2019. Fishes were caught using different fishing nets and gears. Collected fish specimens were identified to the lowest possible taxon using taxonomic keys. Specimens were deposited to the Pachhunga University College Museum of Fishes (PUCMF) and some specimens to Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) Kolkata. Shannon-Wiener diversity index was calculated. Results: A total of 50 species belonging to 6 orders, 18 families and 34 genera were collected. The order Cypriniformes dominated the collections comprising 50% of the total fish species collected.

They point to the particular historical trajectory of interaction of state-making leaders and other social forces, and the divergent authority structure that took shape, as underpinning this difference. In Manipur, where social forces retained their authority, the state’s autonomy was compromised. This affected its capacity, including that to resolve group conflicts. Here powerful social forces politicized their narrow identities to capture state power, leading to competitive mobilisation and conflicts.

Sajjad Hassan DESTIN, London School of Economics 1. Introduction Northeastern India – a compact region made up of seven sub-national states1- has historically seen high levels of violence, stemming mostly from ethnic and separatist conflicts. It was among the first of the regions, to demonstrate, on the attainment of Independence, signs of severe political crisis in the form of nationalist movements. This has translated into a string of armed separatist movements and inter-group ethnic conflicts that have become the enduring feature of its politics. Separatist rebellions broke out first in Naga Hills district of erstwhile Assam State, to be followed by similar armed movement in the Lushai Hills district of that State. Soon secessionism overtook Assam proper and in Tripura and Manipur. Of late Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh have joined the list of States that are characterised as unstable and violent. Despite the attempts of both the state and society, many of these violent movements have continued to this day with serious implications for the welfare of citizens (Table 1). Besides separatist violence, inter-group ethnic clashes have been frequent and have taken a heavy toll of life and property.2 Ethnic violence exists alongside inter-ethnic contestations, over resources and opportunities, in which the state finds itself pulled in different directions, with little ability to provide solutions.
