FOREWORD " Regional Divisions of India - A Cartographic Analysis", of each State and Union Ten-itory Volume, 1991 is undertaken by the Map Divisions of this office. The project is in continuation of a similar 'Occasional Paper' published during the 1981 Census. In this study, regions are delineated at macro, messo, micro and sub-micro level in each state/union territory. While delineating such regions, the physio-geographic factors are taken into account. These Physio-geographic factors consist of (i) Physiography; (ii) Geological structure; (iii) Forest coverage; (iv) Climatic conditions and (v) Soils. The sub-micro regions are delineated within the district keeping in view the above physio-geographic factors. The regional boundaries delineated earlier at different levels are retained as such. However, the jurisdictional changes at the district level during 1981-91 were added in the respective regions. A few more tables and maps on educational level of primary and secondary schools and availability of medical facilities at the villages, have been appended in this volume. This publicastion consists of three parts. Part I contains the brief introductory note on Regional Divisions of India alongn with a map of India showing the regional boundasries at micro level. This part is common for all the States and Union telTitories Volume. Part II deals with the description of Regional Divisions of each State and Union tenitory. In this section, there are nearly 21 maps related to different themes e.g. density, sex ratio, growth of population, workes, literacy and the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes. These maps are prepared at the sub-micro level. Part III is mainly devoted to presentation of data and maps of the districts. The districts are divided into sub-micro regions of the fourth order and briefanalysis of each ofthese sub-micro regions is writtren and supported by tables relating to the main demographic theme of the districts. This project is executed under the technical supervision of Dr. R.P.Singh, Assistant Registrar General (Map) and other officers and staff of the Map Division of this office and Directorates of Census Operations of StateslUnion tenitories. The officers and the staff associated with this project are acknowledged separately. An effort is made to publish this volume on Compact Discs also for the convenience of the users. I hope this publication will be useful for administrastors, geographers, demographers and others interested in different fields of population study. New Delhi Dated: 30.l.2001 J.K.Banthia Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India. PREFACE A number of attempts have been made by scholars from time to time to delineate the Natural Regions of India is this Century. The first in its kind was made by T. H. Holdich in 1904 on the basis of broad geological information. Later, during 1921-31 regionaldelineations were made mostly from the point of view ofgeological structure and stratigraphy. The traditional divisions of the country into natural divisions as envisaged by Stamp and' improved by Spate provided a base for the study of regional division. The 1951 Census data gave considerable momentum to the prograssive study of natuural of divisions as the data were interpreted in geographical context.In the subsequent Censuses, more precise maps were produced fo the study of natural divisions ofIndia with the idea provided by the Indian and Foreign geographers. De. B. K. Roy, a former Deputy Registrar General (Map) revided by the earlier frame work of natural divisions which did not have the intra district details. A map with three tiers (Macro, Meso and Micro) of regional divisions adjusted with district boundaries has been incorporated in the National volume of Census Atlas 1971 and it was welcomed· by scholars in India and aborad. Tomake the delineation more precise and get it done in a comprehensive manner, the Government ofIndia sanctioned a plan scheme on "Regional Divisions ofIndia-A cartographic Analysis". In this study, the Villages and Towns having sa'me physiogeog_raphical characteristics are grouped in order ti carve out viable regions and the lowest (Sub-micro) level within the districts. While delineating the sub-micro level regions the physiogeographical factors considered are Physiography, Geology, Soils, Forest and Climatic conditions. The sub-micro regions ofthe district will play an important role in the developmental activities within the framework of state planning. A separate volume for each State Union Territory has been brought out under this series to cater to the territorial needs. As the publication brought out during 1989 was welcomed by Scholars, Planners and Geographers in India and abroad, it was decided to modify the report by incorporating the data of 1991 Census on the existing frame of natural boundary. The preliminary work on this project was started in the carly part of 1994. Due to paucity of time and heavy work load on the map section of this Office and Registrar General's Office, priority has been given to the mapping work of 1991 Census. After completing the mapping work of 1991 Census, the attention of map section, through it is so small, was dive11ed to this project. I would like to put on record the unstinted and dedicated work done by Shri S. C. Rava, Sr.Geographar, Shri P. K. Ghosh, Sr. Drawing, Assistant, Smti S. Ckakraborty, Sr. Draftsman & Shri G. Ramchiary draftsman to complete this project. I am deeply indebted to Shri 1. K. Banthia, lAs, Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India for this valuable guidance and help extended to me in finalising this report. I record my sincere gratitude to Smt. Minati Ghosh, DRG (Map), and Dr. R. P. Singh, ARG (Map) for all the technical guidance provided and scrutinizing the report in time.

The epicenter of this earthquake was Kanchanbari located in the Dhalai district of Tripura. The present study aims to assess the environmental and socio-economic impact of this earthquake in the vicinity of the epicenter. To assess and determine the level of damage, the affected areas were visited during the first week of the 2017 earthquake. Various Government offices were also consulted to acquire data on damages caused by the earthquake. Moreover, Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (RS & GIS) techniques were applied to address the influence of this earthquake on bank erosion. During the field visit, the striking features of soil liquefaction generated by the earthquake were observed in the flood plain area of the Manu River. Landslide, with three casualties in India and the neighbor Bangladesh, and damages of infrastructure were also reported. Additionally, an assessment of the bank erosion study revealed that the rate of the post-earthquake bank erosion increased to 592%, compared to the pre-earthquake bank erosion within the study length of the Manu River.

  • Assessment of Soil Loss of the Dhalai River Basin, Tripura, India Using USLE
    International Journal of Geosciences, 2013, 4, 11-23 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijg.2013.41002 Published Online January 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ijg) Assessment of Soil Loss of the Dhalai River Basin, Tripura, India Using USLE Kapil Ghosh, Sunil Kumar De*, Shreya Bandyopadhyay, Sushmita Saha Department of Geography and Disaster Management, Tripura University, Suryamaninagar, India Email: *[email protected] Received September 27, 2012; revised November 12, 2012; accepted December 11, 2012 ABSTRACT Soil erosion is one of the most important environmental problems, and it remains as a major threat to the land use of hilly regions of Tripura. The present study aims at estimating potential and actual soil loss (t·h−1·y−1) as well as to in- dentify the major erosion prone sub-watersheds in the study area. Average annual soil loss has been estimated by multi- plying five parameters, i.e.: R (the rainfall erosivity factor), K (the soil erodibility factor), LS (the topographic factor), C (the crop management factor) and P (the conservation support practice). Such estimation is based on the principles de- fined in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) with some modifications. This intensity of soil erosion has been di- vided into different priority classes. The whole study area has been subdivided into 23 sub watersheds in order to iden- tify the priority areas in terms of the intensity of soil erosion. Each sub-watershed has further been studied intensively in terms of rainfall, soil type, slope, land use/land cover and soil erosion to determine the dominant factor leading to higher erosion.

Fish species diversity data were collected from fishers using Fish species diversity participatory rural appraisal tools and the change in the fish species diversity was determined using Shannon- Fishers Wiener, Margalef's Richness and Pielou's Evenness indices. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted Principal component analysis with a dataset of 150 fishers survey to characterize the major factors responsible for the reduction of fish species Climate change fi Anthropogenic activity diversity. Out of 63 sh species, 83% of them were under the available category in 2008 which decreased to 51% in 2018. Fish species diversity indices for all 12 taxonomic orders in 2008 declined remarkably in 2018. The first PCA (climatic change) responsible for the reduced fish species diversity explained 24.05% of the variance and consisted of erratic rainfall (positive correlation coefficient 0.680), heavy rainfall (À0.544), temperature fluctu- ation (0.561), and beel siltation (0.503). The second PCA was anthropogenic activity, including the use of harmful fishing gear (0.702), application of urea to harvest fish (0.673), drying beels annually (0.531), and overfishing (0.513).

  • A Taxonomic Account of Pteridophytic Flora of Adampur Forest, Moulvibazar District, Bangladesh
    Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 27(1): 101-111, 2018 (January) A TAXONOMIC ACCOUNT OF PTERIDOPHYTIC FLORA OF ADAMPUR FOREST, MOULVIBAZAR DISTRICT, BANGLADESH NADRA TABASSUM* Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Key words: Taxonomic account, Pteridophytic flora, Adampur forest, Bangladesh Abstract A total of 17 pteridophyte species belonging to 11 genera and 9 families have been identified from Adampur forest of Moulvibazar district in Bangladesh are dealt with. Updated nomenclature with important synonyms, family name, English name, local name, citation of the specimen examined and a crisp description has been furnished under each species. Photographs of the species have been provided for easy identification. The voucher specimens have been deposited in the Dhaka University Salar Khan Herbarium, Department of Botany, University of Dhaka. Introduction Pteridophytes are widely distributed throughout the world. They show luxuriant growth from sea level to the highest mountains in moist and shady tropical and temperate forests(1). From the evolutionary point of view, pteridophytes are quite important for their evolutionary trend of vascular system and portraying the succession of seed habitat in the plants. Besides, they established a link between the lower group of plant and advanced seed bearing plants and consequently pteridophytes have been placed between the bryophytes and higher vascular plants.
