Dr. DivakarRam Tripathi, KDC Bhabnan, Gonda iii About the College, Balrampur, the erstwhile princely state of pre independent era, was actively involved in removing educational backwardness of the terai region by establishing schools and colleges. Immediately after getting independence, a great philanthropist Late Maharaja Pateshwari Prasad Singh took a giant step by establishing M. L. K. College in 1955 in the loving memory of his mother Maharani Lal Kunwari.With the passage of time this college became cradle for learning and research for the students belonging to terai region. This was the reason that the then governor his highness Sri K.M. Munshi in his inaugural speech on August 1955 said, this college is one of the rarest colleges to which I have offered affiliation with delight. This college is furnished with a good building, good economic sources and accomplishments. It has some rare qualities which are not found in other colleges of Uttar Pradesh.” (Adapted from the letter of the V.C., Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan). The college was initially affiliated to Agra University, Agra. Later on it got affiliated to DDU Gorakh- pur University, Gorakhpur and Dr. R M L Awadh University, Ayodhya. Presently it is one of the premier col- leges affiliated to Sidharth University Kapilvastu, Sidharth Nagar.The college was assessed & accredited by NAAC in 2011. The Peer team observed minutely the academic standards of the college, consisting of teach- ing, research and co-curricular activities beneficial to the students and awarded 3.25 CGPA out of 4 and thus decorating the college with grade ‘A’. In 1969, the then Chief Minister U.P. Honorable Chandra Bhan Gupta, being impressed by its fine-infrastructure said, “Had I seen this college earlier, I would have got Gorakhpur University built here”. In April 1994 while addressing the convocation the then H.R.D. Minister Honorable Arjun Singh, praising the college said, “I was already aware of the fame of this college. Today I came here and was very much delighted. I heartily wish that this college should be doing great in academic spheres in U.P.” This college has been progressing continuously. The academic journey of the college has been- B.Ed. course 1960; P.G. courses in Botany & Chemistry, 1970 and Physics, Maths.,Geography, Political Science, Hindi & Sanskrit, 1971; P.G.D.C.A. course, 1986; Seed Technology as a subject in 1990.Since 2004-05 the P.G. courses for Zoology & Psychology & B. Com courses were started for the convenience of the local stu- dents. Recognizing the importance of occupational education, the college started B.C.A. & B.B.A. since 2010- 2011 session. Home Science has been started in Arts faculty since 2013-2014 session. Thus, being associated with Siddhartha University, Kapilvastu, Siddharth Nagar, it is contributing to qualitative education under the guidance of proactive & visionary committee of management and learned and experienced faculty members. Not only the college family but also the people of terai region feel proud of this institution.

College, Balrampur Pratap Singh Date- 08.11.2019 Founder President , Committee of Management . Message It gives us immense pleasure that the National Seminar on “Biodiversity and Development: Challenges of 21st Century” is being organized by M.L.K.P.G. College, Balrampur U.P. in association with Asian Biological Research Foundation (ABRF), Prayagraj and U.P. Council of Science & Technology, Lucknow from 24 to 25November,2019. Biodiversity refers to the extraordinary diversity found on earth, recognized as diversity among species and habitat. It, therefore, represents a distinct natural capital which is essential to human and earth’s sustainability. Over the last few decades, expansion of human population coupled with consequent increased resource demands have caused a dramatic effect and proven devastating on the status of the biodiversity. Therefore, it is very important to understand the present status of biodiversity and the measures and means to be adopted to ensure and reconnect human prosperity with future sustainability. With this perspective the present seminar is very appropriate to discuss the different aspects of biodiversity and development together in the present context by different stakeholders of the society. I extended my heartiest congratulations to the organisers and participants for putting in their best efforts, and wish them all success in their endeavour. (Jayendra Pratap Singh) Message Dr.Ashwani Kumar Mishra {ks=h; mPpf”k{kk dk;kZy;] xksj[kiqj RHEO,Gorakhpur eksckby ua0 & 9415621763 Respected Sir, I am happy that our parent institution is going to organize two days national seminar on ‘Biodiversity and Development: Challenges of 21st Century”. The plants are the base of our food chain and also play key role in environment conservation. For the growing population we have exploited the natural resources for food and shelter. The indiscriminate exploitation in the name oof devel pment has disturbed the natural harmonious relation between living and nonliving components all over the world. So, the United Nations has highlighted the importance of biodiversity for human survival and declared decade (2011-2020) as decade of biodiversity. The seminar organized by M L K P G College Balrampur in last year of biodiversity decade to discuss all the relevant issues will serve as a platform for eminent scientist, researcher and students of Biological ,Physical Chemical, Environmental Sciences and all other stakeholders to discuss latest technology and innovations for protection and conservation of our biodiversity and mother planet.

  • Opening the Curiosity Box
    Opening the curiosity box: Botanical images as sites of transformation for the scientific practices of annotation and display in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Karen Stewart Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Masters of Philosophy, Visual Arts (Illustration) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Keith Dietrich MARCH 2007 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration: I, the undersigned declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary This thesis investigates the hidden narratives of South African botanical images made in the late seventeenth to eighteenth century. Plant collecting and image making was part of early modernist scientific practice of collection and display. These images are examined from postmodern perspectives that treat them as "texts" that validated colonial botanical agendas. Botanical art objectified "nature" enforcing it into a textual code that sanitised it and made it suitable for study by Eurocentric natural philosophers. The impact of particular scientific agendas about "nature" can be linked to the stereotyping and subjugation of both indigenous knowledge systems and women. This thesis considers the impact that the complex historical and socio-political situations of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries had to bear on the discursive formations associated with the botanical sciences, of which botanical art forms an integral part. The process whereby indigenous knowledge was effectively written out of acceptable botanical practice (a trend that persists today) is evaluated.

  • Hortus Indicus Malabaricus (Garden of Malabar of India)
    HORTUS INDICUS MALABARICUS (GARDEN OF MALABAR OF INDIA) Br V.V.S. SASTRY The Europeans who arrived at India after the perilous voyages were astonished at the variety oftlora and fauna ofIndia. Some of the European Doctors evinced keen interest in identifying the locally available plants along with their medicinal uses as known and used by the local physicians and made efforts to publish books with illustrations of these plants and also other substances of medicinal value. A book, rather a monumental work, with many illustrations is Hortus Indicus Mala- baricus written by Hendrik Adrian Van Rheede (1637-1691). Van Rheede was a Com- mander of Cochin in the employ of the Dutch East India Company from 1673-1678. It was during these years, he had time to study and collect a large amount of information about the plants of Kerala. Van Rheede died on voyage from Ceylon to Surat in 1691 and was buried in Surat where a very fine monument has been built over his tomb. But a still more enduring monument is his scientific memoir, Hortus Indicus Malabaricus. Hortus Indicus Malabaricus is a work of 12 folio volumes with 794 illustrations, published in Amsterdam during 1678 and 1703. The pictures of each plant of Malabar have been prepared wi th detail and the names are mentioned in four languages viz., Latin. Arabic, Sanskrit and Malayalam. While collecting information regarding the plants of Kerala, the author sought help of the natives and the Portuguese. In the preparation of this work for publication, he received assistance from scientists and medical men of Holland.

    Rijcklof van Goens Rijcklof Volckertsz. van Goens (Rees, 24 juni 1619 - Rijcklof van Goens Amsterdam, 14 november 1682) maakte een bliksemcarrière bij de Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) en was van 1659-1672 gouverneur van Ceylon en van 1678 tot 1681 gouverneur-generaal van de VOC. Van Goens, die vooral bekendstond als een uitstekend militair, was ook een handige diplomaat en kenner van de Maleise cultuur. Met zijn agressieve politiek op Ceylon en de Malabarkust had hij beperkt succes, want het sturen van nog meer troepen was niet op te brengen. De VOC-secretaris Pieter van Dam was bezorgd en geërgerd over de geldverslindende militaire campagnes van Van Goens, die nooit het door hem voorgespiegelde geldelijke voordeel hadden opgeleverd.

Stamens: Filaments two, very short, each attached to the pistil between a stigma and a nectary scale. Anthers obovate, erect. Pistil: Ovary oval, as long as the tube of the calyx and attached to it. Style cylindrical, erect, as long as the tube of the corolla. Stigmas two, spreading, slightly bearded, bearing the stamens. Pericarp: A capsule?, oval, with a single loculus, with many seeds. Seeds numerous, very small, like sawdust,3 attached to the columnar placenta in the middle of the capsule. Species sedifolia. 1. Forsteria 1 i.e. situated below the ovary; usually ‘superior’ or ‘inferior’ is used to describe an ovary situated above or below the calyx, corolla and stamens, so in this case the ovary is superior; see also footnote 8. 2 foliolis, literally ‘with leaflets’; later both calyx and corolla segments are called laciniae. 3 scobiformia, from scobis, meaning ‘sawdust’; the handwritten text has ‘seobiformia’ with a correction over the second letter.
