Industrial activity, modern technologies [1]. In our environment sound is caused construction activity, use of loud speakers & public addressing by vibrations in the air or in some other medium that reach systems, vehicular horns and other mechanical devices etc. in and around the town are the various noise sources have human ears and stimulate a sensation of hearing. But when contributed deleterious effect on human health. The present the sound becomes loud, sharp, disagreeable or unwanted study is an evaluation of present trend of noise in the Udaipur and produces undesirable physiological and psychological town areas. Equivalent noise levelis monitored in nine different effects in an individual, by interfering with one’s social stations in different parts of the town area and observed that activity is called noise [2]. the noise level is much above the statutory limits of Central Pollution Control Board.

  • Investigating Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Locations for Agartala, India
    The 2nd International Conference of Multidisciplinary Approaches on UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) | Bangkok Thailand | 28-29 December 2017 Investigating Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Locations for Agartala, India Somudeep Bhattacharjee1, Saima Batool2, Champa Nandi1 and 3,* Udsanee Pakdeetrakulwong 1Tripura University 2School of Information Systems, Curtin Business School, Curtin University 3Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University Abstract Selecting the location for installing electric vehicles charging stations is important to ensure EV adoption and also to address some of the inherent risks such as battery cost and degradation, economic risks, lack of charging infrastructure, risky maintenance of EVs, problems of its integration in smart grid, range anxiety, auxiliary loads and motorist attitude. In this article, we investigate these problems by studying three aspects – 1) three types of electrical vehicle charging stations (Level 1, Level 2 and DC), 2) different types of batteries and 3) different types of electric vehicles. We compared and contrasted the features of these charging stations, batteries and EV to identify the best choice for a given scenario. We applied the framework proposed in [1], and used Agartala, India as a case study to identify location for charging stations in and around Agartala suburbs. Keywords: Electric vehicle, charging stations, electric vehicle battery, charging stations location conditions, infrastructure 1. Introduction An electric car is actually an alternative-design automobile that basically uses an electric motor to provide power to the car, with the electricity being provided by a battery. On the other hand, a conventional car does have a lead-acid battery as part of its standard equipment but this battery is used for operating the starter and not providing power to the vehicle.

  • Rural Tourism in Tripura
    Rural South Asian Studies, Vol. 1, No.1, 2015 RURAL TOURISM IN TRIPURA Dr. Ruma Bhattacharya; Asstt.Prof. Govt. Degree College, Sonamura, Tripura (West), India Abstract: The concept of Modern Tourism is not more than half a century old. The contemporary world has become small due to the inventions brought out by the science and technology. Travel and communication has become very easy and convenient. Tourism has become one of the most flourishing industries in the world. International tourism has grown steadily since 1950. The revenue from international tourism means a lot to the host country as it is contributed by foreign visitors in foreign exchange. This becomes very useful for the host country for its economic and infrastructure development. The World Tourism Organisation (WTO) estimates that international tourist arrivals will exceed 160 crores by the year 2020. Tourism has become so important and competitive that about 150 countries have set up National Tourist Organisations to attract foreign tourists to their countries and also to encourage their own people to travel within their own country. Keywords: Agartala, Agricultural Sites, National, North-East, Tourism In India with the establishment of Tourism Development Council after 1958 that greater synergy was obtained between various tourism providers, the State Governments, the national carrier, and the travel industry. The economic importance of tourism was formally recognized in the fourth five year plan with emphasis towards international tourism and creation of tourist infrastructure. The first attempt to formulate a ‘National Tourism Policy’ was in the year 1982 when a paper on tourism policy was presented before the parliament, which set long-term direction and purpose to tourism development and promotion in India.
