    International Journal of Research ISSN NO:2236-6124 An Empirical Study on Tourists interest towards Archaeological Heritage Sites in West Bengal Dr. Santinath Sarkar Assistant Professor, Dept. Of Education, University of Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal. Pincode: 741235 ABSTRACT: Tourism as a modern term is applicable to both international and domestic tourists. Tourism aims to recognize importance of it in generating local employment both directly in the tourism sector and in various support and resource management sectors. West Bengal has improved its share in international tourism receipts during the course of past decade i.e. from about 3.36% in 2005 to about 5.88% in 2016 of foreign tourists visiting India. Archaeological heritage is a vital part of the tourism product and is one of the energetic factors that can develop the competitiveness of a tourism destination. Archaeological heritage tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing global tourism markets and it covers all aspects of travel that provide an opportunity for visitors to learn about other areas’ history, culture and life style.

  • Management of Lakes in India M.S.Reddy1 and N.V.V.Char2
    10 March 2004 Management of Lakes in India M.S.Reddy1 and N.V.V.Char2 1. Introduction There is no specific definition for Lakes in India. The word “Lake” is used loosely to describe many types of water bodies – natural, manmade and ephemeral including wetlands. Many of them are euphemistically called Lakes more by convention and a desire to be grandiose rather than by application of an accepted definition. Vice versa, many lakes are categorized as wetlands while reporting under Ramsar Convention. India abounds in water bodies, a preponderance of them manmade, typical of the tropics. The manmade (artificial) water bodies are generally called Reservoirs, Ponds and Tanks though it is not unusual for some of them to be referred to as lakes. Ponds and tanks are small in size compared to lakes and reservoirs. While it is difficult to date the natural lakes, most of the manmade water bodies like Ponds and Tanks are historical. The large reservoirs are all of recent origin. All of them, without exception, have suffered environmental degradation. Only the degree of degradation differs. The degradation itself is a result of lack of public awareness and governmental indifference. The situation is changing but slowly. Environmental activism and legal interventions have put sustainability of lakes in the vanguard of environmental issues. This paper is an attempt at presenting a comprehensive view of the typical problems experienced in the better known lakes, their present environmental status and efforts being made to make them environmentally sustainable. 1.1 Data India is well known for the huge variance in its lakes, but the data is nebulous.

  • Surviving in the Sundarbans: Threats and Responses
    SURVIVING IN THE SUNDARBANS: THREATS AND RESPONSES focuses on the conduct of different groups and various agencies, and attempts to understand this conduct in the context of deteriorating ecosystem integrity, and heightened vulnerability of human society, where natural processes are averse to human presence, and where the development process is weak. The study explores the socio-political and physical complexities within which sustainable development strategies need to be developed. The emphasis is not so much on how to develop these strategies but on understanding the contrasting forces, competing interests, and contradictions in operation. DANDA In this study the concept of collective or self-organised action is used as an analytical tool to help unravel the complex interactions that take place at different levels and to shed light on conditions associated with better management of the various contradictions at play in the eco-region. Surviving in the Sundarbans: It is argued that the unique eco-region of the Sundarbans requires special policy measures to address ecological sustainability and distributional equity, to overcome the ills that undermine human well-being, and to ensure that Threats and Responses people of this eco-region have the choices to live the way they like and value what they have reason to value.

  • An Eco-Critical Approach to Amitav Ghosh's 'The Hungry Tide'
    © 2020 JETIR December 2020, Volume 7, Issue 12 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) From Reverence to Destruction:- An Eco-critical approach to Amitav Ghosh’s ‘The Hungry Tide’ ANUJA B. PATEL A.G TEACHERS COLLEGE. Introduction:- The Hungry Tide is a 2005 novel by Indian author Amitav Ghosh. Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide deals with the study of nature writing. The book is about one of the most dynamic ecological systems of the world. This novel clearly brings out the wrath of nature and fragility of humans at the mercy of nature. The Hungry Tide unfolds through the eyes of two upwardly mobile, educated individuals who undertake a journey to the tide country. “The Hungry Tide ...is a fascinating, intense, tight book perhaps the best Amitav Ghosh has written...It has everything that makes for a masterful book.” ‘The Hungry Tide is rich in worldly lore... the setting suggests vivid possibilities.’ The Hungry Tide takes place primarily in the Sundarbans, a massive mangrove forest that is split between West Bengal in India and Bangladesh. Containing tigers, crocodiles and various other predators, it serves as a dramatic backdrop for Ghosh’s story of the environment, faith, class structure and the complex history of India in terms of Colonialism and sectarian conflict. Like all of Ghosh’s novels, The Hungry Tide contains a wide array of characters and settings that intersect throughout the novel. Amitav Ghosh may have become the first Indian writer to strongly engage with ecological issues in Indian English fiction with the publication of his novel The Hungry Tide in 2004.
