  • District Disaster Management Plan-2019,Kalimpong
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN-2019,KALIMPONG 1 FOREWORD It is a well-known fact that we all are living in a world where occurrence of disasters whether anthropological or natural are increasing year by year in terms of both magnitude and frequency. Many of the disasters can be attributed to man. We, human beings, strive to make our world comfortable and convenient for ourselves which we give a name ‘development’. However, in the process of development we take more from what Nature can offer and in turn we get more than what we had bargained for. Climate change, as the experts have said, is going to be one major harbinger of tumult to our world. Yet the reason for global warming which is the main cause of climate change is due to anthropological actions. Climate change will lead to major change in weather pattern around us and that mostly will not be good for all of us. And Kalimpong as a hilly district, as nestled in the lap of the hills as it may be, has its shares of disasters almost every year. Monsoon brings landslide and misery to many people. Landslides kill or maim people, kill cattle, destroy houses, destroy crops, sweep away road benches cutting of connectivity and in the interiors rivulets swell making it difficult for people particularly the students to come to school. Hailstorm sometimes destroys standing crops like cardamom resulting in huge loss of revenue. Almost every year lightning kills people. And in terms of earthquake the whole district falls in seismic zone IV. Therefore, Kalimpong district is a multi-hazard prone district and the District Disaster Management Plan is prepared accordingly.

  • Conserving Springs As Climate Change Adaptation Action Lessons from Chibo–Pashyor Watershed, Teesta River Basin, Kalimpong, West Bengal, India About ICIMOD
    ICIMOD Working Paper 2019/2 Conserving springs as climate change adaptation action Lessons from Chibo–Pashyor Watershed, Teesta River Basin, Kalimpong, West Bengal, India About ICIMOD The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, ICIMOD, is a regional knowledge development and learning centre serving the eight regional member countries of the Hindu Kush Himalaya—Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan—and is based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Globalization and climate change have been asserting an increasing influence on the stability of the fragile mountain ecosystems and the livelihoods of the mountain people. ICIMOD aims to assist the mountain people to understand these changes, adapt to them, and make the most of new opportunities, while also addressing upstream–downstream issues. It supports regional transboundary programmes through partnership with regional partner institutions, facilitates the exchange of experience, and serves as a regional knowledge hub. It strengthens networking among regional and global centres of excellence. Overall, ICIMOD is working to develop an economically and environmentally sound mountain ecosystem to improve the living standards of the mountain populations and to sustain the vital ecosystem services for the billions of people living downstream—now, and for the future. About The Mountain Institute India The Mountain Institute (TMI) established its branch in India in Sikkim in 1996, and was later, in 2006, registered as TMI lndia. TMI itself and TMI India are committed to working towards conserving the world’s high-priority mountain ecosystems, improving the livelihoods of the mountain people, and increasing awareness about mountain issues through research, advocacy, education, and outreach. Currently, TMI India is involved in community-based conservation programmes in the Eastern Himalayan Region, partnering with local people to strengthen their communities and to conserve natural resources and cultural heritage.

An updated checklist of the mammals of West Bangal. J New Biol Rep 8(2): 37-123. ABSTRACT The Checklist of Mammalian fauna of West Bengal has been updated after more than two and half decades to include recent taxonomic changes, new additions and distribution records for West Bengal. In this checklist, 234 species (Extant 211, Extinct 23) and 215 sub-species, belonging to 137 genera, 39 families and 11 orders, are reported. The chiropterans represent maximum number of species (75) followed by rodents (50), carnivores (48), Artiodactyls (29), Eulipotyphla (11), Primates (8), Lagomorpha (5), Perissodactyla (3), Pholidota (2) Scandentia (2) and Proboscidea (1). Relative to the 1992 version, the gain in number of species is 46 (+24.46%), that of sub-species 70 (+48.27%), genera 31 (+29.24%) and families 7 (+21.87%). Following recent molecular evidences, Cetacea is reordered under Artiodactyla in the new version. There are, however, a few records that remain unresolved, doubtful or controversial.

Introduction variations range from 120m at Siliguri to as high as 3660m at The name Darjeeling is a corruption of dorje, the precious stone Sandakphu. or ecclesiastical scepter, which is emblematic of the thunderbolt of Sakhra (Indra) and of ling, a place and it means therefore the place of the dorje, the mystic thunderbolt of the Lamaist religion, this being the name by which the Buddhist monastery, which once stood on Observatory Hill, was formerly known [1]. By another thought, the name Darjeeling is derived from the corruption of Lepcha name Darjyu-Lyang meaning abode of the god and goddesses.

  • Assessment and Preparation of Landslide Susceptibility Zonation Map by Geospatial Method Using Remote Sensing and Gis
    ASSESSMENT AND PREPARATION OF LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY ZONATION MAP BY GEOSPATIAL METHOD USING REMOTE SENSING AND GIS Abhik Saha (1), Vasanta Govind Kumar Villuri (1), Ashutosh Bhardwaj (2) 1 Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, Jharkhand-826004, India. 2 Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, 4, Kalidas Road, Dehradun- 248001, India. Email: [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected] KEY WORDS: Landslide Susceptibility Zonation (LSZ); Landslide; Remote Sensing (RS); Geographic Information System (GIS). ABSTRACT Landslide is the most affecting natural Hazard of any hilly region. It occurs due to changes in different aspects like slope, drainage, land use and land cover, lithology, geological conditions, etc. It is the disaster that directly affects the socio-economical condition of any region. Landslide Susceptibility Zonation (LSZ) Map is required to prevent landslide as well as the socio- economical losses of the hilly region. The availability of various Remote Sensing (RS) data and the advancement of the Geographic Information System (GIS) help to prepare the LHZ map. The integration of RS data and GIS application is adopted to generate the LHZ map of Darjeeling, India. Landsat 8, Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Data Elevation Model (DEM), and different Information maps are used to prepare six thematic layers for LHZ such as Slope, Drainage Density, Lineament, Geology, Land use & Land Cover, Soil. Thematic layers were assigned appropriate Numerical values as the weight for every factor and sub-factor in the GIS environment. The LHZ maps were produced by the weighted overlay technique. Resulted from it gives the LHZ map of the Darjeeling area.

The Regional Research Station is committed to focus for addressing the problem in today’s climate changed world. Besides this, the station has been reviewing and resetting its research priorities from time to time on the basis of previous findings and the ensuing demands of the hill environments. The support received from the authority, teachers and non-teaching staff in carrying out all sphere of activities is duly acknowledged. (Dr. Sarad Gurung) ABOUT THE STATION The Regional Research Station, Kalimpong represents the hilly region of Darjeeling and Kalimpong district of West Bengal. It has two other sub-stations under its administrative control and is located at Pedong and Dalapchand respectively.
