It was in early October 1962 that Chairman Mao Zedong decided to launch a large- scale invasion to severely punish India. While the main offensive was to be in the Eastern Sector, coordinated operations in the Western Sector were to be undertaken to capture areas up to the 1960 Claim Line in eastern Ladakh, which entailed elimination of 43 Indian posts.Gaining control over entire Aksai Chin was essential to guarantee security of the Western Highway, linking Kashgarh in Xinjiang to Lhasa in Tibet.

    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2013): 4.438 Wastelands Change Analysis of Gurgaon District, Haryana Using Geo Informatics Arya S1., Arya V. S.2 1D.E.S. (AF) KVK, Fatehabad, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, India 2Senior Scientist „SG‟ Haryana Space Applications Centre, HARSAC, Hisar, India Abstract: Management of natural resources particularly land and water are very essential for sustainable development of living being on the earth. The challenge to provide food security to our country’s increasing population is a big task. The stretches of land lying waste, which can be brought under use with reasonable efforts, merit urgent attention in the state. It has been rightly pointed out that these lands are not “waste” lands but “wasted” lands. To convert the wastelands to cultivable land, it is necessary to estimate and monitor the area under wastelands. IRS-IC/ID LISS-III digital data of three seasons i.e. Kharif, Rabi and Zaid for the years 2005-06 and 2008-09 was used. Change analysis matrix shows that the wasteland was 141.80 sq. km. in 2005-06 which decreased to 130.68 in 2008-09. It was found that land with open scrub in the district is 99.06 sq.km. followed by degraded pasture other classes like waterlogged, mining area etc. were also observed. Keywords: Geo informatics, Change detection, Wastelands, LISS-III, IRS-1C/1D. 1. Introduction The study indicates that Haryana state has a total area of 2145.92 sq.km. under wasteland which constitutes 4.85 % of The increasing population pressure, urbanization and the total geographical area of the state (Arya et.al.

  • Disengagement Agreement in Eastern Ladakh
    Disengagement Agreement in Eastern Ladakh Why in news? Chinese and Indian troops on the southern and northern shores of Pangong Tso began “synchronized and organized disengagement.” What is the significance? The move comes as the first major breakthrough in talks to resolve the nine- month military standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh. The disengagement began in line with the consensus reached at the 9th round of China-India Corps Commander Level Meeting. The agreement is a promising start towards restoring peace in the border areas. What is the new disengagement plan in eastern Ladakh? Troops from both sides have started disengaging from the Pangong Tso area in eastern Ladakh. As of now, the disengagement process seems restricted to the north and south banks of Pangong Tso. The process has started with the pulling back of certain columns of tanks from the south bank region by both sides. At the moment, there is no pullback of troops from the friction points and the heights they are positioned on. That will happen in a phased and verified manner. The ground commanders have started meeting, to figure out the nitty-gritty of the process. What does this disengagement process entail? Both sides will remove the forward deployment in a phased, coordinated and verified manner. China will pull its troops on the north bank towards the east of Finger 8. Similarly, India will also position its forces at its permanent base at the Dhan Singh Thapa post near Finger 3. Similar action will be taken by both the parties in the south bank area as well.

Driving this study is an attempt to analyse the election results of the state of Assam where Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies, Mitrajot or National Democratic Alliance (NDA), successfully defeated the Indian National Congress (INC), and its allies, Mahajot (Grand Alliance). Drawing primarily upon secondary data and applying GIS techniques, the study makes a critical analogy of how Mitrajot managed to accomplish victory.
