Conceptual Model for the Vulnerability Assessment of Springs in the Indian Himalayas

Sustainable management of the nearly 3 million springs in the region requires a framework to identify the springs most vulnerable to change agents which can be biophysical or socio-economic, internal or external. In this study, we conceptualize vulnerability in the Indian Himalayan springs. By way of a systematic review of the published literature and synthesis of research findings, a scheme of identifying and quantifying these change agents (stressors) is presented. The stressors are then causally linked to the characteristics of the springs using indicators, and the resulting impact and responses are discussed. These components, viz., stressors, state, impact, and response, and the linkages are used in the conceptual framework to assess the vulnerability of springs. A case study adopting the proposed conceptual model is discussed Citation: Daniel, D.; Anandhi, A.; for Mathamali spring in the Western Himalayas. The conceptual model encourages quantification Sen, S. -

Bagri Dean, School of Management, Tourism & Hoteliering Professor & Director, Centre for Mountain Tourism & Hospitality Studies H.N.B Garhwal University, Srinagar (Garhwal) Uttarakhand - 246174. INDIA A. Suresh Babu Assistant Professor, Department of Tourism & Travel Management Government Arts College, Ooty-643002 Tamil Nadu INDIA Abstract: Having acknowledged with prominent share in education sector both domestically and globally, the subcontinent of India is exploring possible opportunities in positioning itself as an admired educational destination. Incidentally with respect to tourism education, India does not shine and share maximum benefits as its counterparts in the other continents enjoy. The present paper is an attempt to showcase the roadblocks found in Indian tourism education with special emphasis on the mountainous Uttarakhand state. With its unsurpassed beauty the whole of the state is itself a tourism treasure and the need for tourism education have become imperative to develop and to promote the same. The study was based on primary and secondary data collected during December 2009-March 2010 in Garhwal Himalaya of the Uttarakhand state. Necessary statistical tests like ANOVA, Mann Whitney etc are employed to arrive out meaningful results. A structured questionnaire were used as an instrument for collecting primary data from students (150) & faculty members (50) and the review of journals, reports, information material serves the need of secondary data accordingly. The output elucidates the failure to concentrate on certain significant areas by educational service providers put the state and country much behind than its western counterparts. -
Caste and Hegemony in Ancient Kumaon
International Journal of Applied Social Science RESEARCH ARTICLE Volume 5 (8), August (2018) : 1316-1319 ISSN : 2394-1405 Received : 21.06.2018; Revised : 07.07.2018; Accepted : 22.07.2018 Caste and Hegemony in Ancient Kumaon ISHA TAMTA Department of History B.B. Ambedkar University, Lucknow (U.P.) India ABSTRACT Caste in Kumaon, (present Uttrakhand) was not exactly as it is in the plain areas of India. Four fold Varna system which is widely present in the subcontinent is absent in the Hill regions. But so called upper castes enjoyed their privileges and hegemony various areas of social life. The distinction in Kumaon is not only between upper and lower orders but also between the indigenous and later immigrants. The social status between Khasa Rajputs and immigrant Rajputs is a case in point. First and foremost the, the authority and power was held in ownership of both arable and forest lands. Land was held mostly by bith castes and they got it cultivated with the help of Doms. But Doms were not allowed to own a piece of land, although they performed all agricultural operations. Secondly, in administration, only upper castes monopolized all positions in the court of kings. Bith castes competed with each other for getting plum posts in the court of kings. If one sub-caste had gone close to the king, that social group monopolized all positions in the administration, judiciary and even at village assembly level. Thirdly in religious and cultural spheres, hegemony continued in the form of authority to wear Janeo (sacred thread). Khasas and Doms were not allowed to wear sacred thread. -
