TIlE Military Widows' Fund, British Service, was established in India in 1820 to alleviate the distress of families of officers of the British Service servzing zin India, and to enable them to return to England without unnecessary delay. Whenever an officer of the British Service, who is a subscriber to the Fund, dies, his family receives at once the following assistance, namely, six months maintenance allowance ranging from Rs 2,400 to Rs 3,600 according to the rate subscribed, plus Rs 1,500 as a donation for the widow, plus Rs 500 or Rs 300 as a donation for each child according to vwiether the child is over 12 and under 21 years of age or under 12 years of age. These benefits are secured by a small sub- scription of Rs 4, 3 or 2 per mensem, which is regulated by the amount of pay an officer draws. An officer, on becoming a subscriber, secures for his wife and children quite irrespective of his length of service in India, the full benefits of the Fund in case of his death after havingsub- scribed for fully three moiths. In the event of an officer dying within that period, his-case is specially considered by the Committee of General Management.

  • Report of the Officials of the Governments of India and the Peoples’ Republic of China on the Boundary Question
    Report of the Officials of the Governments of India and the Peoples’ Republic of China on the Boundary Question (Introduction & Item I till page 40) Ministry of External, Government of India 1. The Prime Minister of India and the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China met in Delhi from the 19th of April to the 25th of April 1960 to discuss certain differences relating to the border areas which had arisen between the Government of India and the Government of the People's Republic of China. The two Prime Ministers explained fully the respective stands of the two Governments and as a result, there was a better appreciation of the points of view of the two Governments. The talks, however, did not resolve the differences that had arisen and the two Prime Ministers decided that officials of the two Governments should examine the factual materials in the possession of the two Governments in support of their stands. 2. The Joint Communiqué issued on the 25th of April 1960 at the conclusion of the talks of the Prime Ministers in Delhi embodied their decisions and served as a broad directive for the official teams who were to undertake the examination envisaged by the Prime Ministers. The Joint Communiqué inter alia stated as follows: The two Prime Ministers, therefore, agreed that officials of the .two Governments should meet and examine, check and study all historical documents, records, accounts, maps and other material relevant to the boundary question, on which each side relied in support of its stand, and draw up a report for submission to the two Governments.

It was an atypical visit. Atypical because, of the seven Prime Ministers which China has had since 1949, he was the first one to visit the land which China had occupied forcibly after a military conflict in the Qamdo area of the Western Kham after crossing the Jinsha River on September 06, 1950.

  • Birds Don't Give a Dam: the Politics of Hydropower Development And
    Birds don’t give a Dam: The politics of Hydropower Development and Wildlife Conservation in Arunachal Pradesh by Titash Choudhury A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology University of Alberta ©Titash Choudhury, 2017 Abstract Over the last decade, Arunachal Pradesh, or the larger region known as Northeast Himalayas, has not only become a potential energy frontier to meet India’s surging energy demands, but an opportunity for those in the state seeking political and financial independence. Dams are celebrated and endorsed as a ‘clean” and “renewable” energy sources that ensure sustainable development, and politicians and major corporations are making promises of great economic benefits and job opportunities arising from these projects. However, rapid development, lack of appropriate consultation, and the deficiencies of environmental and social impact assessment have provoked political and social debates in the region. Simultaneously, since the region is known to be biodiversity rich and geographically fragile, the impacts of the developmental activities has raised concerns among wildlife biologists, ecologists and experts regarding the potential negative impacts on ecology, economy, and society. In this discourse of energy development, deteriorating ecosystem integrity, and heightened vulnerability, Arunachal Pradesh is increasingly being represented as a place of economic opportunities for both region and nation, but also of risks and vulnerabilities.

  • Creating Awareness and Support for Conservation in a Biodiversity Hotspot
    Project Update: April 2006 Aim To harness the new-found interest in the recently discovered Arunachal macaque to highlight the astounding wildlife of this region to a wider audience and more importantly, use this to create a sense of pride among local people. Two media, namely a film of 25-30 minutes in length and an accompanying poster, both describing the Arunachal macaque and stressing on the need to conserve the species and its habitat, are to be produced and screened/distributed mainly in the districts of West Kameng and Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. Progress Treatment The film is built on a series of interviews with local people and the biologists studying the monkey. Through this soft narrative technique, the film aims to piece together the different ways in which the people perceive the monkey. Some find it an amusing afternoon pastime, merely to sit beneath a tree and watch a troop feeding or grooming; some others narrate a creation myth involving monkeys; some other complain bitterly about heavy losses to their agricultural yields owing to crop raiding macaques; the scientists voice their concerns about the animal’s future. Several such interviews woven together provide a picture of the larger context in which the “newest” of macaque’s lives, and its relationship with the people who share its habitat. Research for the film began in August 2005. There is currently little published information on this species, and much of the information came from personal observations by the scientists who made the discovery and a student carrying out a study. We gathered information on troop size, range size and feeding behaviour from previously published work and from the study data.

  • CHAPTER-IV a CASE STUDY of the EASTERN SECTOR [Mcmohan LINE BORDER AREA] CHAPTER - IV
    CHAPTER-IV A CASE STUDY OF THE EASTERN SECTOR [McMOHAN LINE BORDER AREA] CHAPTER - IV A CASE STUDY OF THE EASTERN SECTOR [McMOHAN LINE BORDER AREA] 4 1 INTRODUCTION: As it is observed during political negotiations that China had refused to accept "McMohan Line" as a legal boundary line between India and China in the eastern sector as proposed by India to settle boundary dispute sector-wise. On the contrary, Chinese claimed about 94,700 square kilometers of Indian territory including the Kameng frontier division and three-fourth of the Lohit division of the eastern sector (Arunachal Pradesh) V An attempt is made here to study the McMohan Line border area into more details in terms of historical association of the area and its linkages. In this chapter an attempt is made to assess the claim and counter claim which has been made during "negotiations" by India and China, in the eastern sector, respectively. It is also assessed the rationality of these claims made by the contending parties. The complex nature of India's northern border cannot be understood unless it is studied with the "time" and "space dimensions" in relations to human habitations and political dominance of the powers in the disputed areas. Time dimension is the historical account of dominant powers in this region, where as space dimension is the geographical extent of ethnic groups and political control over particular border areas, which are dealt here in detail. 4 2 GEOGRAPHICAL EXTENT OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH: Although, a general geographical description of Arunachal Pradesh international border has been done in the second chapter of this thesis, a more detailed account about geographical extent of Arunachal Pradesh border (McMohan Line) has been carried out here, in this chapter.
